- muro 3y agoAnd religion
- antaviana 3y agoAnd football.
- reactordev 3y agoUnless fantasy
- tonyedgecombe 3y agoI wouldn't describe it as divisive but it does seem half the population has no idea that the other half has zero interest in football.
- JohnFen 3y agoYeah, I hate sports talk only because I find sports talk incredibly boring.
- lesuorac 3y agoDo you mean work settings? I think traditionally Sex has been a staple of social settings; it's why a non-trival amount of people play novice sports (to meet future spouses).
- triceratops 3y agoWhat does playing novice spots mean?
- joncrocks 3y agoGenerally best to avoid talking about the specifics of the actual acts when in polite company. Sex, Politics, Religion were the traditional ones to avoid. I'd also add 'childcare/how to raise children' as another one that can easily escalate/some people have very strong opinions on.
- JohnFen 3y agoI thought the taboo topics were religion and politics.
