Man shot in Russia in argument over Kant
MOSCOW (Reuters) - An argument over the theories of 18th century philosopher Immanuel Kant ended in a man being shot in a grocery store in southern Russia.
RIA news agency quoted police in the city of Rostov-on-Don as saying a fight broke out between two men as they argued over Kant, the German author of “Critique of Pure Reason”, without giving details of their debate.
“In the course of the fight, the suspect took out a pistol firing rubber bullets and fired several shots at his opponent,” it said, adding that one man was detained and the victim was taken to hospital. His life was not in danger.
Kant lived in Koenigsberg, which is now the Russian city of Kaliningrad, and is a central figure of modern philosophy. Many Russians love to discuss philosophy and history, often over a drink, but such discussions rarely end in shootings.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Bah. Any discussion can end in a shooting.
True story….
Me: “So Yuri, how did the wedding go on Saturday?”
Yuri: It was pretty good, a little quiet though….
Me: How do you mean?
Yuri: There were only four fights that needed breaking up.

I wonder if he would will such a reaction to become a universal law.
