That's the cold side of your thermodynamic process!

'Jewish' is both a race and religion.

By Jewish law, if your mother is Jewish, so are you.

Not that we care about Jewish law all that much, by Muslim law if your father is Muslim then so are you. They all like to run around 'claiming the house'.

All religions. Monotheism has nothing to do with claims of exclusive knowledge of 'Truth'.

The late 70s.

I bet the really shocked ones where the teachers once the students 'expressed themselves'. They likely never did that again.

Wasting your time. They have had the 2nd explained to them more often then a creationist has had evolution explained to them. They don't want to know.

You cannot educate 'willful ignorance'. It's a waste of time to try.

A better question. Why would you want someone photographing your wedding that hated you?

I'd prefer to spend my money on someone else.

Paraphrasing Ben Franklin. 'Why would you want to shut-up your opponents. Let them talk, encourage them to talk. That way everybody knows they are idiots.'

The world is a large place, gays will find photographers and bakers. Holy rollers will lose money. It's not 1950, assets are not so closely held and there are plenty of heathens, even in the bible belt.

Which do you think is a bigger #, dollars spent improving working conditions in China or dollars spent advertising about improving working conditions in China?

Again: You have an old books of fallacies (Marx), we have history. You are wrong.

Do the math. How hot would a black body have to be to radiate 10 kW/meter?

Solar sails are not new physics.

Actually the entire idea of these special entitlements that destroy individual rights TO DISCRIMINATE is a power grab by the insane government that is out of control.

Individual people discriminate every day. As a potential employee you can choose to work for a one legged Brazilian tranny and there is nothing any of the other potential employers can do to stop this obvious bigotry and discrimination by you against their businesses, NOR should there be anything they could do to force you to work for them. That's EXACTLY the same thing.

PRECISELY the same thing, since you working for a company is exactly like a company doing work for other people. When you buy a product you are buying work done by a company for you. A company is people standing behind it (corporations are in fact people, not as in 'Google is a living person', it is not. It is as in Google is owned by people, that's the people corporations are). A person that owns/runs a company has his or her right to discriminate and the Constitution of the USA is there to protect that right.

A right is a protection against government oppression and abuse, nothing else.

A government telling somebody that just because they are employing somebody they now lost a right is abuse and oppression and a power grab and unconstitutional and illegal and immoral.

Should people discriminate against each other based on sex, gender, age, race, colour? We know that some will and some do. If a business does so, it will face consequences whatever they are in the market. As to a belief that just because a business exists somewhere you automatically get an entitlement to their service - that is hubris and destruction of the people running that business as individuals and it cannot stand.

A particle beam weapon is very similar to an ion thruster.

One difference is that the beam weapon has to neutralize the exiting plasma's charge to keep the beam from spreading. Not an issue for a thruster. Of course that means the ship will develop a pretty good charge.

Of-course you are absolutely 100% correct, which was my first comment on this topic before the one you replied to. But my first comment appears to be extremely unpopular here.
