Impure reason: Russian man shot in heated Kant philosophy debate ? RT News

A heated argument in southern Russia over philosopher Immanuel Kant’s ideas erupted in violence when one debater pulled out a gun and shot the other. The attacker could face up to 15 years in jail
The two men in their twenties stood in line to buy beer at a local store on Sunday in Russia’s Rostov-on-Don after the city’s anniversary celebration. They were discussing Kant’s philosophical ideas.

The discussion turned into a heated debate, which was followed by a fistfight and then one of the debaters pulled out a nonlethal pistol and fired at the other’s head.

Now this is dedication people! You need to stick up for what you believe.

I know this isn't really what this subforum is about but it is related to philosophy and I find it pertinent. I'm tired of weak circling discussions about "oh my religion" and "oh my belief". stick'em up buddy! :D

I'm down with that idea.

But you also need to disagree without being disagreeable.

I wonder if that guy thinks you can rationally universalize the maxim of shooting people in the head when they disagree with you.
