    I know what universe means. Need I remind you that I'm a native english speaker who writes.

    And I know what you mean. The point is, Star Trek isn't all that different from what you consider our universe. Aliens are just an allegory for different races. The differences between human culture and klingon culture is not so different than an exaggerated difference between asians and mexicans. Sure the traits differ and are wider in scope, but they aren't new concepts that don't already exist.

    You enjoy the exaggeration. It has nothing to do with what universe it is. I understand that the term universe is used to describe these differences, but I don't believe that the differences are large enough in scope and extent to be described as a wholly different universe.

    That would be semantics, usually, the word "universe" is the one used. It doesn't literary mean universe.

    By using Star Trek, you are using the literal version of the word universe as it literally takes place in a universe full of planets that don't exist.

    Either way, you like it because it takes place in the future, not a different universe.

    The main difference is can typical human concepts be applied to the given universe or no. Such as stereotypes, cultural things...

    Yes they can. As a matter of fact, cultural things play a huge part in Star Trek. Human traits will always apply. It's why I don't think universe is the word you were looking for.

    I understand what you are saying, but not why you said it the way you did.

    ST has its own universe

    No more than any other storyline. Remember, part of the movie took place in Iowa, which is very much part of our universe.

    Hate to tell you this "bro," but I didn't claim to be awesome at pool. I am probably better than you though. I highly recommend you get someone to film you playing on a good day because based on this alone, I wouldn't think for a second that you're an amazing player.

    This entire thread was created to give you some topic to brag about being awesome at. It's sad.

    I'm only moderately good at pool and I wouldn't have missed that shot a 1:23 regardless of hand injury. Didn't watch the rest.

    Tell me how the hardest thing on guitar is the same difficulty as the hardest thing on bass. Explain to me how, given two additional strings to make use of, that this is even possible.

    So, the Cavs have been untouched so far this post season. That's pretty sweet.

    If you want to play bass guitar properly, you will need more than 20 days, nevertheless 20 minutes.

    Find out where I said I was good at it. I didn't say I was a prefessional in 20 minutes. All I said was that it was easy to pick up and was rather intuitive after only 20 minutes.

    I really hate how people think bass is an easy instrument to play, you can always be good at it but it takes alot of practice to be amazing at it

    Bass is one of the easier instruments to play actually. That doesn't mean it's easy. It is safe to say piano, guitar, violin and drums are harder to play than bass. The first time I ever picked up a bass guitar was when I was 10 and within 30 minutes I was playing entire Nirvana songs. That's not saying much, but it does attest to the relative easiness of playing bass, especially just picking it up.

    Mastering it is another story. Even then, mastering piano, drums, guitar and violin is still harder than mastering bass.

    Bass is pretty straightforward. I learned to play in like 20 minutes. Youtube is a good place to start.
