Taboo Topics

Hey guys;

Three conversations that are usually not allowed out in a group setting: religion, politics and any thing that is related to sex. So what happens when you find yourself in one of these conversations in a public place, well you have a few choices:

• Bite you tongue and not say anything
• If possible leave the area
• Argue about your point of views till you are blue in the face or you have to removed from the location
• Turn it into a heated debate in hushed tones

Personally I would take the take biting my tongue or leave the area but most of the time I either end up doing the last one, especially if it is about something that I am passionate about or that I feel has not has justice done for it. 

I say we all have a voice but we barely use it, especially for those things that matter to us. Whether it be with a friend, colleague, family member, significant other or a stranger you should not let someone quiet you because you have different views. We have been giving the right of freedom of speech and we are allowed to have our own thoughts and opinions, just like we can voice them. The thing is that we need to remember that if we believe this that we must give the same respect to those that we are arguing against.

If you were wondering what brought up today's topic of topics, its Tuesday and that means the day of the week that I hang out with my best friend at the library. She looked over my shoulder and saw a book titled The Nazi Olympics and that got us into arguing about Russia and the Olympic committee plans for the Homosexual athletes. That is the three taboo topics all wrapped up into one package.

I am not afraid to admit that I am straight but I do believe that homosexuals should have the exact same rights and freedoms that we heterosexuals do. It is the same with Catholics, Arabs, Muslims, Transsexual or Transgender, cross dressers.

We are all different and we need to remember that, we should all accept each other for who we are. Forgiveness means more than hatred, giving hope is better than destroying it and being unique is better than being the same.

What about you:

• why do you think these topics are taboo?
• have you ever had a similar experience and what did you do?
• what do you believe the true definition of equality is?
• how do we achieve equality for everyone around the world?
