2 Hurt in Philosopher Fight

A debate between philosophers at an international forum ended in a fistfight Monday that left two people slightly injured, Interfax reported.

A woman and man were injured in the fight at the International Philosophical Forum, held in the House of Scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences on Ulitsa Prechistenka.

One suffered a bruise, while the other one was left with a scratched face, a police source told Interfax, without elaborating. It was not immediately clear what prompted the fight. Several squads of police officers were called to restore order.

So, this fight proves that philosophy is not enough to settle the disputes among human beings!

Klashnikovs are still needed for a final round of arguments. ;-)
