Why do people argue about Star Trek and Star Wars and which ones better?

I believe, although I never witnessed a real arguing about Star Trek and Star Wars, that's it's just used in metaphoric reasons. I've never seen this kind of arguing outside movies.

Although, I'm a fan of Star Wars, I see Star Trek as a different kind of sci-fi movie. While Star Wars is "in a galaxy far, far away" Star Trek is in a "future far, far away". I don't believe there is one better than the other, just different themes.

It's like Avatar being the N.1 most successfully movie in the box office and Star Wars IV being 3rd only. If you took Star Wars and remade it with the 2009 special effects and made it in 3D for 2010, who'd you think would earn more (theoretically of course, I'd prefer the classic Star Wars :D).

In conclusion, Star Trek and Star Wars conflict is just a stupid arguing for 10 year old kinds who swing plastic lightsabers most of their free time.

These are the same people who spend all night making crop circles. They need social lives, and girlfriends/boyfriends. But seriously, it's cool to be a little geeky, but I think we're all cool enough that the Trekie's and the Jedi's can all get along.

Bad case of nerdrage

I know! but, it is a tough question. I mean, does Kirk really compete with Yoda? (NO)

but...how can anyone beat Spock?

Well damn I don't know. Maybe it's because they like one better than the other. No. No, that can't possibly be it

Star war is better

the force is strong with this one,live long and prosper.

because Trekkers are annoying. and Star Wars is clearly superior.

idk never seen either of them
