   I'm open to a broad range of opinions. I'm less open to arguments hinging on watching a video. Especially if they won't even link to one.

   You used to be able to ring up certain restaurants and order a delivery. And it was often free.

   In my experience, when someone has an extreme opinion and says "just watch this video", it's largely a waste of time. Video is too easily game-able as a medium.

   I never suggested they would. Just that there's a strong expert consensus that Israel is violating international law.

    Robinson was explicitly jailed for making libellous accusations. He invented claims that the refugee had bullied other kids, supplemented by unrelated photos that he stole. He admitted it was all fake, but then repeated the claims in a film

    Do you agree that criticising the actions of the Israeli government and military is the same as hating Jews? Because that seems to me to be what Kirk is saying there.

    Does the "freedom" in free speech mean freedom from censorship, or freedom from being drowned out? People often assume the former, but the latter is worth consideration.

    Spot on. At least in the UK, anyone who thinks fake news will just "fizzle out" on social media hasn't been paying attention to the increasing frenzy being whipped up by the alt right on Twitter and Telegram, and consequences

    I mean, who knows how well Trump would have done had he not been re-admitted to Twitter. It's a counter-factual. For what it's worth, I'm not advocating de-platforming right-wing voices. I just think there's an argument
