Religion and politics are two of the largest topics on this list.
Should we never discuss anything that could be misconstrued as offensive?
We wouldn't be able to talk about anything.

I thought "Religion and Politics" were NO-NO topics for bars, work and
(CF-talk|CF-Community) lists alike.. ;)
We all have our beliefs and disbeliefs, but lets not "discuss" these types
of things here.. as it will only offend some people!
