Apparently they were talking about Jordan's attitude towards Syria. Nothing to get all fired up about.
 
American politics are not any better, before the civil war, two congressmen got into a fight on the house floor, one almost died because of the injuries he took from getting beat by a cane....We pretend like we are more modern and civilized, but we are not..Could easily happen today, especially seeing how divided we are.






Edit:  hmm, pilgrim says it was two senators, I might be wrong, but you get the point.

We also owned and beat slaves back then, so I think things have changed a bit since then.
 
Maybe what is socially acceptable behavior has( and yes, it was back then, twas a honor thing) but human nature has not, and when two men get their testosterone pumping, get pissed, things happen.

I remember being taught that in middle school and just snickering to myself. And yes they were Senators.
 
And I thought old men shouting at each other and laughing at the Prime Minister in the House of Lords was bad enough...
 
I think the ideal situation is being anti-anti-anti hipster. So pretty much a normal person.
 
The ideal situation is not to worry about it, since it has no effect on you.
