| Anonymous Coward User ID: 32596059 United States01/19/2013 06:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One said aloud that ALL guns should be illegal, the other spoke up and said BS. The one who was for NO guns threw his lunch at the the other. Then the other took it to the floor. Quoting: Melrox This is NOT about guns. This is about two types of masculinity..... that have absolutely no respect or understanding of each other. They are both as extreme and as unrealistic as the other. Realistically, one has got to toughen up a bit but the other "all guns should be legal" sounds like he needs more than can be addressed here. |

They tell us we have to be tolerant of them and then the start fights to make us be "tolerant". "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

| ZEROeffect User ID: 21572434  Canada01/19/2013 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They didnt get fired for debating gun control, they got fired for having a fist fight. Howeverm I would have only fired the guy who started with the physicalities...the other guy was acting in self defence. Was he supposed to just let the other guy beat on him? Quoting: Professor McFluffles Exactly! For common sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The douche who threw his lunch should be charged. Then the other guy should sue his boss for wrongful dismissal! I know I would. It was clear self defense and you can't fire a guy for that. Whats he supposed to do? Just roll over to someone who became physical over a dispute? F'n ban all gun guys should be deported to the UK with Piers F'n Morgan! |

I'm tired of your politically correct bullshit. The place you argue makes no difference. Afraid your boss is gonna disagree with you? Boo hoo! Ill take my dignity any day over walking on eggshells just to please everybody. |
| Rising Son User ID: 32269124  Japan01/19/2013 06:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ^^^^ Exactly - this President has managed to become more divisive than his predecessor, which I never thought possible. Perhaps this is what he wants - chaos, anarchy, and confusion. A divided country is much easier to conquer than a united one. "Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 Truth needs no validation because it is self-evident and undeniable. Therefore, anything that requires validation to be realized or justified as truth must contain at least some degree of falsehood. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] |

That’s what I was thinking also, one of the “I’m against violence and going to beat the crap out of anyone who it’s against violence!” type. I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw. We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three. |

| telling it straight User ID: 1461054 United States01/19/2013 07:17 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I cringed when I read the headline OP! I just had a debate with a coworker about gun control (I'm pro 2nd) at work with a witness. Afterwards, I instinctually felt wrong about having the heated topic of conversation at work. There's a time and a place and work isn't it the correct venue. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9511424 They have to fire both--violence in the workplace can't be tolerated--too much liability for the employer if someone does come back with a gun and mow everyone down. You never know these days. |

So what? Where do guys NOT fight? In the auto industry it was a strange day if someone didn't get into a fist fight in the pits. I could see it had weapons been involved or it was a felony fight with serious injuries, not a little scuffle.
