Instead, I recommend that drugs be tested on Pharmaceutical company CEOs.
Exactly! Because — unlike the homeless — the CEOs aren't good for anything else, are they?

And what you did was rude.
I'm glad you acknowledged seeing the light, but reject your accusations of "rudeness". Neither a claim for a human right, nor its rejection can be considered "rude". It is either valid or not, but it can not be "rude" any more than a volcano can be...
... do you seriously believe that?
Name one organization, that's campaigning to stop anybody from marrying one person of the opposite gender, who is an adult and not too closely related.
(...and I apparently have Tony the Tiger's spellchecker, since it completely missed that typo.)
I'll give them this one, considering one of the purposes of this project is to prove the feasability of extraterrrestrial flight in atmospheres as thin as that of Mars.
You sure about that? Pre christian roman, ancient chinese, and ancient egypt all have instances of same sex marriages.
Quite sure. Some cultures were tolerant of homosexuality itself (even if they mocked it a bit), but none equated homosexual unions with marriage.
Roman Empire's equivalent of gay marriage was banned in the 3rd century Roman Empire, where it had previously been legal.
What "equivalent of gay marriage"?
Your sense of the word marry as being specifically man to female is clearly proto-Christian
No, it is "proto-human". Probably, "proto-mammal"... Christians added the monogamy requirement (though it was not strict and even officially suspended it, when reality required), but it was always "hetero".
Anthropologists say that some type of marriage has been found in every known human society since ancient times.
Exactly. And the primary (if not the only) purpose of it — always and everywhere — was to rear children. And where did those children come from? Adoption? Surrogate mothers?
The idea that it necessarily and inherently implies straight is as ridiculous as the idea that it implies male ownership of the bride as chattel
I fail to see, how a union of one male and one female must imply the former's ownership of the latter. It seems, you are repeating somebody else's talking points without fully understanding them yourself...
This paper describes the eight-day August 2013 test campaign designed to investigate and demonstrate viability of using classical magnetoplasmadynamics to obtain a propulsive momentum transfer via the quantum vacuum virtual plasma.
He managed to attach a square filter to a round duct; that's NASA-level ingenuity right there.
Almost all air purifiers are nothing more than a fan blowing through a filter. Thanks to fans and filters being commodity items, there are many retail HEPA air purifiers on sale for close to this guy's price. The article is little more than a cherry picking fallacy.

The android anthropologists then went back to university and learned traits which benefit the survival of the group do not necessarily benefit the survival of the individual.
Not that I can blame you, but I guess you've all blocked this from your memories.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
