Which subject would be least welcome at your dinner table?
 
Please note that like all dinner table conversations, this poll is private.

The first three of those come up regularly at the dinner table and often in the same sentence.

I can cope with all of them, hockey included.

I could certainly do without discussions of medical conditions, though.

Not at the dinner table, no.

But, as time goes by, those will be less unacceptable. Trust me.

All of the above.

I hold very strong views on religion and politics, being a humanist leftie who apparently needs to go and live on a commune somewhere, so I can get a bit heated (prob not a good dinner party guest) :)

Now being a staff nurse, married to a doctor, I'm really not averse to a medical discussion.

Conservation instead of conversation in the poll question.

I rely too heavily on the wiggly red underline.

Ah yes, wiggly lines...You have picked me up in the past on my lack of observation of wiggly lines...

Maybe you just wanted to be conservative rather than converse? :unsure:

Not in mine. How can anyone but an idiot discuss complex issues with any depth or accuracy while "getting a bit heated?"
