Unreasonable critique of Kant leads to man being shot in Russian shop.

>"Many Russians love to discuss philosophy and history, often over a drink, but such discussions rarely end in shootings."

This is proof that Americans are far ahead of Europeans (Russians, at least) intellectually. While they're still arguing about dead old philosophers, we're over here enjoying ourselves, seizing the moment. While you're over there thinking about how to live you're life and not actually living it at all, we're out on adventures with our friends. We understand the fragility and brevity of life enough to know that time should not be wasted on discussions about "categorical imperatives". There are far better ways to spend time with friends.

Was I the only one confused by OP making the link between Russians arguing and Europe? My Europe kind of stops at the east border of Germany, and if things keep going on as they are going, my Europe will start developing a border at south France, Switzerland and Austria whilst Italy, Spain and Portugal slowly get annexed by the North African thinly veiled UN approved and USA/UK/FR funded "rebels".

>which one was a bigger fan of
I hate it when people do this, they try to objectify the subjective feelings of the other person, and then try to add qualities to the now objectified feelings, which are then quantified and compared to their own subjective feelings. Not only that, but they are BOTH DOING IT, which just makes the whole thing twice as stupid, as they then try to explain and justify to each other their way of objectifying and quantifying. They will be arguing about the way they are arguing about something which should not be argued about in the first fucking pace.
