[quote=SD Squatter]Any discussion about racial/genetic differences, especially when it comes to predisposition to crime, IQ, school test scores, etc. is a total and complete taboo. Any racial comments in general (see Donald Sterling). I can’t think of a bigger taboo than that.
Maybe less of a taboo:
– democracy (i.e. the ultimate social system that is desired by all people)
– homosexuality (i.e. orientation vs sexual disorder)
– support of Israel
– support of veterans
– money
– prop 13 in CA politics ;)[/quote]
Interesting – I would put some of the ones you listed as opposite of how you worded them.
It’s taboo to NOT support Israel, no matter what.
It’s definitely taboo to not support vets.
I agree that prop 13 is semi taboo – but we seem to be able to discuss it here… (See my conversations with BG and CAR for examples.)
