Kirk also thought it was a good idea to jump through space and a bunch of debri in order to go somewhere even more dangerous, alone with somebody he knew to be intellectually and physically superior. Kirk's a lot like you now that I think about it, you've both made your careers by being ****ing idiots, the main difference being that it usually works out for Kirk by sheer luck or ballsy risk taking, and that people actually like Kirk.
The Federation is not a military organization. That was the entire reason that RoboCop woke Khan up, to help him build war machines because they didn't' have any.
Quan, you should at least learn how to edit a post before you claim to be more intelligent than anyone. Meanwhile, us thinkin' folk will be here replying to everybody in a single message. Thanks.

So THAT'S why the world's going to shit. I see now!
And-- wait, what? How is that even a reply to anything I said? I didn't mention anything about Khan vs the Federation, I was pointing out how the Federation wasn't a military organization. And suddenly this is about how Khan is great and still managed to do something?
I'm pretty sure that the "entire Federation" Isn't much as far as number of ships. At the time of TNG I seem to recall that they only had something like 12 similar to the Enterprise out and about. The Enterprise was the size of a city at the time of TNG, and would likely have been much smaller at the time of Kirk. I doubt they had many more than they did a few hundred years later. They probably had less. This is half of the problem with you, you watch a single movie and try to show people that you know everything, when you don't know shit. A radio show around my town has this slogan they say at the end of every program: "Everybody, be nicer or be smarter. And if you can't, be quieter." Words to live by, Quan, words to live by.

Khan was great and was better. The filmmaker brow beats the audience with it practically the entire film.
Again, your attempt to downplay the Federation is hysterical. Try watching the movies and actually understanding them. To think its only a few ships demonstrates you reek of ignorance.
This isn't some small time place like Hyrule in a Zelda game. Again, learn from me.
I didn't say Khan wasn't better. Where the hell is that coming from? Lmfao, do you even understand what I said?
They're spaceships, Quan. Kind of expensive. I suppose you've never had to think much about money though, the government pays all your bills. You probably just work down at the grocery store one day a week or something, right?

I have to go to work tomorrow, so I will be going to bed now. But before I go I'm gonna point out that instead of replying to any of my actual argument, you opted to ignore it and focus on the insults.
I have seen these movies. It has been a while, so in the two Abrams flicks I might actually be wrong, but as far as general Star Trek goes I don't think I am. I advise you to experience all of the source material for the character you are currently molesting.

In TNG the Federation had thousands of ships of various classes and sizes. There were only around a dozen galaxy class ships, true, but that was because they were prohibitively expensive and a brand new form of starship that was still being perfected.
The Federation isn't a military organisation per se; their ships are designed primarily for explanation. That said, their defensive/weapons systems are generally the equal or superior of most of their peers.
Around Kirk's time, the Federation was much smaller, with a much smaller amount of ships. We're still talking hundreds of vessels though, unless Abrams changed that fact.
Sure, they may have been in a game but that alone doesn't make them a video game army IMO, as they didn't originate from a VG. It's the same thing with the Galactic Empire; I sure as hell wouldn't count them as a video game army.
