I was shooting the shit with a friend this weekend about why the Supreme Court is all Jews and Catholics and my theory is that both groups have 2000+ years of debating whether a sea turtle is a fish or whether raspberries contain hidden insects.

No topic too obscure or theoretical not to sperg at length about.
Yeah, a willingness to throw down and potentially have your mind changed by a debate goes a long way in fostering competence in any field. I don’t know about Catholics, but lively disagreement about important ideas seems pretty central to Jewish culture (and certain other denominations of the Christian church). My pet theory has been that this accounts for most of the overrepresentation of Jews in positions that require critical thinking. Aggreableness really is the enemy of clear/persuasive thought.
Everyone should learn to participate in debate; instead we’ve raised two generations of children to be “kind” and “respectful”(read: condescending) to people they fundamentally disagree with.

maybe this is off topic, but gosh this testimony is boring
 
Lol at the pros stopping the video clip before GF starts kicking his way out of the car and starting the next one when he's already out of the car. They cut that before he started kicking the officers while on the ground.
"At that point he was complying"
And there's the opening for the counter for the defense. Surely they have the same footage to use.

We're raising kids to act like that some of the time, but the rest of the time we're raising them to act like seeing a MAGA hat in the wild is literal violence.
 
This is so fucking boring. Nelson was right this morning, this guy's so redundant considering prosecution called just about every other member of the MPD force, a quack Irish doctor, a flighty old woman, and 3 other unrelated doctors to say the exact same things with no new substance. I hope Nelson disassembles this identical testimony the same way he did with all the other interchangeable witnesses.
