I agree. The way I have dealt with it in the past is just by saying "maybe you shouldn't be talking about that kind of stuff in the office".
It doesn't make you look like a bad guy; it reminds them that whatever they're bantering on about isn't appropriate in the office. It actually makes you appear as though you care about them not getting fired, when in reality you just wasnt them to discontinue the annoying behavior, and since you're you're not being passive about the improper behavior, you've kind of covered your arse.
