Hi GA,
There are clear parallels between the civilisations in Star Trek (ST)
and the current and past ones we have on our planet (W). I would like to open a
discussion about this:
1. Which ST civilisations correspond to which W civilisations?
2. Was this intentionally done by the producers? or just happened due
to lack of imagination? (or am I imagining things?)
3. In order to establish an ST civilisation, you have to emphasize
certain characteristics. Is it unavoidable that some combination of
these characteristics will correspond to a W civilisation?
Thanks,
Can
PS: I did not do any research at all.

Why is nobody interested? 
Has this topic been discussed ad absurdum?

Hi,
I would like to have personal opinions on the topic and dont need real
research. I have my opinions and wnat to see if others think so, too.
If I really needed / wanted facts, I would search on my own.
So who are the Klingons in W? and how about the Romulans?
Take care,
Can

Hello Can1972,
At first glance, $3 seems less attractive for the wealth of
information you request. My suggestion is you can raise the ante a bit
to make it enticing.

I agree with my esteemed colleague that upping the ante on this
question might attract more interest. However, while it is true that
some questions here attract a slew of comments, and yours might yet
receive some, the fact is that this is not a discussion forum, but a
paid research service. If you want merely opinion and chat on the
subject, perhaps you might try Usenet or any of a host of Star Trek
related message boards, like
