I don't know if I would call this guy terribly independent. He is an engineer who has been working on Alcubierre drives as a possible propulsion method. He isn't exactly your normal scientist.
They are also working to cut the NASA climate research budget;
Not exactly accurate...they are trying to get this research done by NOAA, as it is the proper place. NASA is about flight/space, not about earth science, so they are trying to get the earth science people (NOAA) to do most of the work/paying, not NASA.
The thing is, the state already separated the two (religious and civil), but it wasn't good enough. Civil Union was created as an acceptable compromise, but as of about 3 years ago or something, it was decided that Civil Unions weren't good enough. Civil unions have been around since the 90s and were offered as a compromise between the religious foundation of marriage, and the civil aspects to include homosexual unions. So, rather than fix the laws surrounding civil unions, instead, it was decided that marriage had to be nondiscriminatory. As marriage is a religious ceremony (called holy matrimony in the Catholic church), at the root redefining marriage is an attempt to attack the church.
You can try to claim that it is a civil ceremony, and therefore should be taken from the chruch, but from what I read, it started as a religious ceremony, and the name marriage originates from Latin, which was widely used by the church, which is why it was brought into English and French.
If you want to hold it in city hall, call it a Civil Union. Marriage was co opted because it was known to be unpalatable to the religious as it is a religious ceremony.
With how all the anti discrimination crap going around, do you really think that the churches will be allowed to not marry homosexual couples in the future? I just don't see that exception remaining around with all the anti religious positions of the left...
Unfortunately, in many Middle Eastern cultures, they believe in "an eye for an eye", so they feel that since you killed my son, I should now kill you. It doesn't matter to them that their son was trying to commit murder at the time. So for every one of them we kill with bombs and guns, we produce blood feuds with leads to more Jihadis.
The main problem Christians have with gay marriage is the co-opting of a religious ceremony. I doubt too many Christians would have any problem if the push was to make Civil Unions have the same benefits as Marriage. Civil unions would have had less dramatics surrounding it.
If it is still only 10s of millions that are normal no-harm Muslims, then there are serious issues with Muslims. There are around a billion Muslims in the world.
It also only applies to Sunni Muslims, not Shia Muslims, which is why you see ISIS destroying temples, including Muslim temples, they are destroying icons of faith as they believe them to be wrong.
Any Middle Eastern country? In any of the primarily Islamic countries Christians are forced to pay gold to continue being Christian. ISIS has been murdering Christian children since they first started taking over Iraq and Syria.
The main difference is that Jesus taught Christians to turn the other cheek. Mohammed taught that anyone who doesn't worship him should die.
If the US wanted the Oil in Iraq, wouldn't it have been much faster and cheaper to just buy it off them? Instead, the sanctions stayed in place until the war. Iraq would have loved to sell us oil, but for some reason they preferred gassing the Kurds to oil profits. As far as domination goes, do you really believe that the US is out for domination? Why would we want to rule all your crappy countries?
You do realize that corporations only pay tax on Profit right? Therefore, if the taxes become to high, you pump all your profit into R&D, or give out a dividend, anything to have 0 profit, therefore 0 taxes. So, raising taxes will cause less taxes paid, not more.

He forgot to capitalize the H in Hell, but than was correct in usage. Mandarin compared to C/C++ is not temporal which is what then is used for.

To remove gravitational effects, you look at the measurement difference between engine running pointed up, and pointed down.

It could cause a resonance cascade, though that is extremely unlikely.
The equivilent of a block of wood produced the same thrust as the device, and your response is that it works?
Likely the thrust seen is an artifact of the measuring device, and not any real thrust.

So fix that. Why piss off a huge portion of the population when other ways exist to fix the problem?

So the cartoonists were really out shooting people in a mosque? I hadn't heard that in the news...

Gay porn all over the internet, I have never heard of any Christian shooting anyone involved.

What is Q, and how is it different from the G?
My assumption is that it is queer, which is pretty much the same thing as gay, so I don't see the distinction there.
