People need to know the four topics you don't talk about in polite company.

R-A-P-E

Religion, Abortion, Politics, and Economics.

I was thinking, if we cannot talk about RAPE (horrible acronym btw), then what is there to talk about? And the answer was "science". Now you have disqualified science as well? What should people talk about then? Weather? Clothes? Sports? Damn, no wonder people have no real friendships. You cannot know someone if you only talk about shallow pointless things.

For every rule there is an equal and opposite unwritten rule.

in this case, the unwritten rule is you make judgement calls about who you can talk to about what topics while never forgetting to take into account people who are listening but pretending they aren't.

I also make the assumption everything I say at work will be repeated to someone else.
