Are there any subjects you refuse to talk about on this site?

refuse? no

not want to? yes

yes....
there are certain aspects of my sex life,
certain aspects of my relationship with my husband that are just between me and him,
certain secrets I keep for good reason,
there are things that I am not at liberty to discuss because they don't "belong" to me....
and the other things I mentioned are more or less none of your business - nothing personal.

Aside from talking about that guy I murdered, not much that I can think of...

No.

No; it really depends on my mood, not on absolute principles.

Yes i refuse to say anything that will get me in trouble with the police the FBI or any other government association...but as long as it wont put me in jail everything is free game:)

I can't think of any subject that I would refuse to talk about. There are a few that I don't care to go into detail about. When those come along, I say nothing or little, and move on. I think that, for the most part, SC users are very open and honest people. You'll usually find at least a few people to talk about any subject.

no, except for extremely initmate details of my sex life

Um.....not really. I don't know. Not off the top of my head, but never say never.

Typically when they are about the lower portion of the body, and crass terms are being used.

Nope.

No.

And I don't think it should matter to anyone creating a survey if anyone else is gonna like it or not.

No, as long as the survey is decently done. For example, there is a very badly written survey in qual about marijuana...a subject I have no problem with even though I don't indulge. However, the survey is written in a manner that makes you wonder how stoned the sc was when they created it!

I'd probably write about anything. Knowing when to stop is more important.

I am the type to be open minded and open mouthed...I hide nothing..... Why hide yourself....

Yes.

I am sure there are, but if I told you what they were it would defeat the whole purpose wouldn't it?

I never had sex in public. Ok, your turn.


jk

I don't care to talk about politics or religion. I also don't care for all the surveys about death/dieing. I lkike to think about living and having fun.

um

OK, after reading other responses, I generally agree with them. There are aspects of my sex life that I don't talk about. Also, things I know about other people that I don't "own" as caviar said. Though, I also agree that mood is a big factor as En. said. In certain moods, I might just talk about anything. Except the time I killed someone.

ummm.... let's see.... I never killed anybody. ....yet .

Yes there are.

Politics. I am not going to change your mind, and you're not going to change mine. Plus, people like Brian get down right mean about it.

Yes. I'm not about to start now by describing them for this survey.

Are you trying to tell me something. Certainly no one has ever tried to kill me --- YET.

Or is there an aspect of your criminal history that you won't share with us


Things like that can be interpeted in multiple ways.

Hym, from my understanding, political discussions aren't really about mind chaning. I think theyre more about trying to understand the arguments made by "the other side" and trying to argue your side the best you can. Plus, for the more opinionated types, its also fun to spew your beliefs for ego purposes.

I think survey creators should make surveys about what they like and what interests them. There will always be people to answer their surveys, and there will be people who won't want to. It doesn't matter who will or wont answer particular surveys, as long as there are some people who will.

I don't think so... I haven't come across any. Generally, I only abstain if I don't know anything about the question and can't be botherd to click on the links.

I completely agree. The problem is when the attack becomes personal and not political as they always tend to become. A long time ago I would discuss politics here, but soon grew tired of being called an idiot, usually from Brian. So, I sit on the sidelines and talk about beer instead!

Honestly, I can't think of any, but if I could I wouldn't want to talk about it.

Yes, of course there are.

These survey responses have helped enormously as a new user on this site. the rape/sexually abused survey almost wanted to make me exit..and quickly. i couldn't believe that sort of issue would be so openly talked about, just as ..what is your favorite toothpaste. ? so emotionally delicate. but i feel that SC users have the proper amount of decorum and good taste to cast those surveys aside.

There's no reason an emotionally delicate topic shouldn't be openly talked about.

Personal details i.e home address etc.

take it anyway you want to....you started it!

No, not really. I'm new so I'll have to participate a bit more to find out.

Oh yeah, well I think that Miller Lite tastes better than Cores Light and if you don't agree then you're obviously an idiot.

I created it for some advice/sharing of experience. While I know it's a delicate topic, the site is such that people can be as anonymous as they like- or abstain completely.
What's so wrong about that?

I don't know really, i don't keep secrets, so i'd answer all the surveys really!

If I don't participate in a survey, its usually because its about politics.
Everything else is fine!

The only thing that comes to mind is I would not answer a survey question like Describe in detail what you and your SO did the last time you had sex/made love?

safely

Did you read my second comment on that survey? I think if you needed personal support and assistance then you could have explained that..a bit, in the appropriate space. presently, your question appears to be crass and it wouldn't call out to me to answer such an emotinally delicate question.

Safety would be determined by the person doing the talking. If someone believes they can safely talk about something, they would. If they don't think they could, they would choose not to. Anyone who believes talking about an assault would trigger a bad crisis would probably choose to hide this survey.

I mean they would choose to hide THAT survey.

No

Absolutely. You should never type/say/post anything you don't want in your corporate employee folder or up in big letters on a major news site.

No, there is nothing off limits, as it should be.

I don't see why it's such a crass question- it's not a dirty word, and certainly no worse than a lot of the other surveys that get passed. If people want to share their experience, they can, if not, then they won't- simple as that. Why should we pretend that it doesn't exist?

>>but i feel that SC users have the proper amount of decorum and good taste to cast those surveys aside.

Regardless of what you feel about it, the question in fact already exists, so it was passed at one point...
http://surveycentral.org/survey/2034.html

and moreover, most people have put here that they see no subject as being off limits. So

no

No.

Why create the possibility of someone being emotionally affected with, yes, a crass question thrown in their face? Why open that door? You do not know everyones past experiences with that horrid issue. or mine! your ability to be sensitive and exhibit the least amount of finesse leaves much to be desired.

yes, like i can safely talk about murdering my three next door neighbors and cut their heads off and spread their remains all over the back yard. if i can safely talk about that (which is not true, by the way) alone at my computer without becoming emotionally charged..then Heaven help me.

Different people have different emotional responses to events in their life. What might be emotionally charged and unsafe for one person may be perfectly safe for someone else. Most people know what's best for their own selves. If they felt uneasy talking about something on the computer, they simply wouldn't do it.

my, you do go on. the simple point i was trying to make is to show some sensitivity when asking sensitive questions about emotionally charged issues. surely you cannot disagree with that, joal.

OK, but how would a person who sincerely wants to discuss these things and wants to make a survey about it "show sensitivity"? By marking it offensive?

maybe a separate category marked: Sensitive
we, as humans, know what topics are more sensitive than others. if a user asks a question, "Have you ever been rapes/sexually abused?" and doesn't mark it sensitive...then I would find it offensive. i do not know what you are disagreeing with...this is kind of basic.

Maybe someone could suggest a 'sensitive' category to Bill. It's not a bad idea.

I would be willing to do it. Direct me to the suggestion box of this site.

That would be "Feedback"

Several, but why would I bring up something I don't want to talk about.

Nahhh... but I do hate the way surveys get distracted from the original question and go off in some totally unrelated personal direction that has nothing to do with anything. You didn't ask me that did you?

no, im pretty much willin to talk bout anything

No no one on here knows me and if they feel the need to judge me on what I say, then that says a lot about them

abortion- I don't even go there with people in person

Yes.

Nothing comes to mind really at this point in time.

Politics & religion in general. My personal life as a whole.

Yes, there are.

No.
