I don't think I have many topics I don't talk about honestly...
I think my least favorite it to gossip about someone, yes, I will make comments but to really bash and trash someone just isn't my cup of tea...
I agree with you about not wanting to bash someone.

depends on who they are...

sex/sex relationships...talking with mom/sisters TABOO! NOPE not doing it.

Military friends...no problem

Politics....depends on how well i know them...and whether or not i know they can debate with a calm head...i know some hot-heads and not going there with them.

actual TABOO stuff....REALLY depends on who it is...only a select few...know i'm a 'freak'...(SSSHHHHHH!!!!)

I don't mind talking about any topic, but there does come a point where it is just dead horse beating.

I've been guilty of it.

I don't know whether to throw in my two cents, AGAIN, or do us all favor and just shut my mouth.

Yet, most of us are not "spring chickens", so all the "is love real", "how do you find a soul mate", etc., threads are getting tiresome. We're old enough to know the answers to these questions AND that they are posed as thinly veiled "pick up" lines.

As far as "bashing" - derisive speech merely shuts of the listening mechanism. And, it makes them more interested in defending their "cause" than pondering another's ideas on a subject.

Everyone's opinions are valid. May be disagreeable to some, agreeable to others. Discussion/debate is NOT about changing minds, it is about provoking thought. A thinker's mind will change, or evolve, by it's own volition, not because it was "shamed".

I never played the Taboo game but this made me think of that Jim Carrey movie, The Cable Guy, when they were playing "porno password" - :laughing: - "It's just skin Steven" :laughing:

:thumbsup: You have some great points here. But some of it is in theory. Not all people want to discuss or debate or learn. Some people avoid conflict entirely. Which is why there are forum & not forum personalities.
Some people can't let things go & would rather be right than happy.
Some people always want the last word. Maybe they get a free cookie for it. laugh
Some topics really are taboo. And we all have have them. We can't be open book & honest & forthcoming in all things. Sone things are no ones business.
Some things are inappropriate or the person feels it is. * Like my list , it depends on the person, I'm talking to & the subject matter, & if & when I'm comfortable *
