Today's office.

@elonmusk Critical thinking and discourse is not anti-american - if anything they are the core of who we are. If you only want the government to pay for an echo chamber, there are lots of other countries that use that model, and are happy to accommodate. Russia seems like a good option.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@WriterJohnBuck Sure, but that's not what we are considering. The probability that, for instance, the speed of light as a constant has not changed over time, is not the same as 'there is an untestable creator who exists outside of time and space'

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@WriterJohnBuck The scale of the assumption matters.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Not_Ssmob3 You misspelled 'contradictions'

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli War is hell - but this isn't a war. They are not fighting soldiers - they are bombing refugee camps, and hospitals. 30,000+ have been killed. Mostly women and children - not soldiers. I expect us to be better than the terrorists.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli They do deserve better. And their leadership absolutely failed them. I 100% agree that Hamas owns that - but does that make it ok or necessary for Israel to kill them? I'd argue no.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli Using children as human shields makes them the bad guys. But killing the children to get at the bad guys, makes us the bad guys too.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli Those walls went up well before Hamas was elected. I don't know what the solution is - but this isn't working.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli I don't know what the solution is that has both a safe Israel and a safe Palestinian population. But I'm pretty sure the current one-sided massacre - is not it.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli "Israel left Gaza." - But didn't give them permission to have a port to bring in their own medicine. Or building materials, or control their own power, or water. Or borders. Not having soldiers on the ground doesn't mean they were not entirely under Israeli occupation.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli Not irrelevant if you are claiming they voted them in. But why would Israel expect Palestinians to vote for moderates, given the situation they've been in for decades? I believe many of the conservative government's policies make Jews in Israel and here less safe, not more.

@NuckChorris16 "love me or burn forever" - but it's your choice. *eyeroll*

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@DrFrankTurek That you haven't read it.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@elonmusk you first.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @lt_internet @WajahatAli The last election was in 2006. Most people in Gaza now were not alive then (and certainly not of voting age). But what hope has Israel given them that anything would change regardless of election results?

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@Tristanshouts @elenaparent Not at all - I will always ask a politician to clarify and specify when possible. But especially on a day when the house passed a bill labeling critique of the Israeli government as antisemitism.

[Liam Strain @liamstrain]

@_Sixtra innocent has a character judgement implied. I'd prefer a term that is just having no opinion, if we are not comfortable with a term that means lacking belief.
