Being assertive when new co-worker says "All hunters are murderers"

JEDI

My first thought was:
WTF r u talking about? How stupid and ignorant are you?

But that satement wasnt assertive. it was aggressive.

My next thought was changing the conversation or just walking away.
But that's passive to me wanting to express my opinion that he's wrong.

So what's the assertive thing to say?
 
Ask him what happens when you tear carrots out of the ground or harvest corn, is that also not killing the organism?

Better yet, don't waste your time.
 
He is correct.

That's right what you gonna do about it?
People who eat meat are horrible people as well.

The same goes for milk drinkers.

All of you are going to the hell
 
Just firmly say to him "you aren't going to fit in here, you better check yourself and watch your attitude."

He'll get the hint.
 
Tell him you're going to shoot him in the face with your Glock and see if he has anything more to say?? 😀

I usually just look at them like that's the stupidest thing I've heard in my life (and it's not, but it's up there), and try to think of something to say, but it's just so ridiculous I don't know where to begin.

But a simple "they have to be a person to be murdered" would probably do the trick. Ask them how they feel about abortion, if they say it's fine you've got them nailed 😀

Now I'm glad you asked, I just thought of that, and now I can use it too
 
I think you were right re: trying to change the conversation. That dude is completely committed to that idea probably, there is nothing you can say that will have any effect on him. Don't take the bait.
