Russian Shot in Quarrel Over Kant's Philosophy

MOSCOW September 16, 2013 (AP)

An argument in southern Russia over philosopher Immanuel Kant, the author of "Critique of Pure Reason," devolved into pure mayhem when one debater shot the other.

A police spokeswoman in Rostov-on Don, Viktoria Safarova, said two men in their 20s were discussing Kant as they stood in line to buy beer at a small store on Sunday. The discussion deteriorated into a fistfight and one participant pulled out a small nonlethal pistol and fired repeatedly.

The victim was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening. Neither person was identified.

It was not clear which of Kant's ideas may have triggered the violence.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable..

Pretty much how must video game debates would end if we weren't ashamed to discuss them in public.

I think anyone who ever tried actually reading "critique of pure reason" would rather like to shoot Kant himself for his completely unreadible and boring way of writing.
