Quarks quarks.
:P Why Does Quark always get picked by Grand Negas for high profile positions, when he isn't quite "pick of the Litter" when it comes to Ferengi tradition. Isn't there anyone on Ferengi that has higher qualifications than QUARK?
I understand that he's on DS9 and they need a plot, and don't get me wrong, Quark is a very cool character, but I can't figure out why they would pick someone so low on the "ladder" rather than create some ambassador out of one of the "hiarchy". :P

I fixed it for you.Click on Quote and you will see what I did.
cptnlochner, I feel that:
Bajorans:Are the Jewish people, because they are finally able to govern themselves, and are fiercely devoted to their planet.
Cardassians:WWII-era Germany, beacuse of their "expansionist" ideas.
Ferengi: Chinese, maybe from Hong Kong, because their life revolves around deals, profits, and tricking people out of their possessions. (I am not racsist. I asked my friend who lived in Hong Kong and China, and told me these things)
Founders:Any Middle-Eastern country who views the West as "Oppressive, corpulent, and rich", or who doesn't have the same beliefs.
Nice reading. i never would have thought of it like that. Good job
Thank you ;D
Very well said, but I have a few
Klingons: Russians-they are ruthless, have a strong sense of honor and pride, and like a good fight. Also, bloodwine = vodka
Borg: Japan- they are always technologically up-to-date and are always willing to go out and find things that will improve themselves.
Very intuitive. Wish I said those. :(
They're very good. nice job
How is everyone?
Pretty good. ya self?
Okay.
Thats cool. How about now?
Bored. :
: : : : : : : : : : :
i have a belly button
And you jst realized this now?
i have 2/3 a six pack
so, a 4 pack? BTW, we should really stay on topic.
righty,wats the topic, ah yes, ok, i thought Quark's overall performance was exemplary
Maybe becuase Quark is a money maker and Ferengi's love the profits.
Thats a good one Steve, and did you notice Grand Negas isn't so grand ether, I would vote for Quark, over Grand Negas, thats probley because it is DS9...LOL
and don't let what we say stop you from posting, everyone has there own opinion,OK?
But, I would think that if Quark was a truelly profitable ferengi then he wouldn't be only running a bar but running an entire corporation.
If I remember this right, Grand Negas was in love with Quarks' mother. and the Farengi woman had no place. so G N had to ask Quark for his mothers hand, Quark turned him down, so GN tried to bate him. and I believe that is how it happened...I think...
Good Point...I hadn't thought of it that way.
Sorry I had two episodes mixup, this is the first episode of the Nagus:
The Nagus

I will get the others also.
How would you start a corp. from a starbase? Quarks bar just wouldnt sound right at other places because there is no Quark there. LOL
Also he had gambling there, and the house gets a part of the winnings.
Maybe he can start a gambling corp. The bar seems to personal to make a corp.
I really don't know if I ever heard of a corperation of the Ferengi.
I imagine it must exist, how else would the ferengi have made it as ar as they did. Another question I have is, how did ferengi start becoming so money hungry, it's interesting how they've got "money in their veins"?
Maybe the first tome money was introduced, they liked it so mucha nd now the want to have as much money as possible. It's just a thought...
OH really, give me a break, Please-LOL
*bump* lol, that's a good question though.
IMO, I think the people on Wall Street would considered Ferengi, LOL
I think the people on Wallstreet ARE Ferengi
The Ferengi race was deffinately derived from the worst of mankinds GREED and that was their niche...like Klingons are derived from our Warrior and Anger like qualities.
They were considered by some to be the most like humans of today. Greedy, self serving, egotistical. I could go on. LOL. So I wouldn't limit them to comparing them to wallstreet tycoons. LOLOL
So sad, so true
