Why does it seem that people actively avoid expressing disaagreements on what somone says when they are out somewhere having a conversation? Why arwe people more concerned about trying to sound nice rather than being honest? It’s not provactive or antagonizing to simply say “I can’t agree with you on that, I disagree.” I suspect that if someone articulates the reasoning behind their disagreement, a lot of people would not be bothered by it, unless someone wants everybody to believe the same things and are easily disturbed by contrary points of views.

    Ironically, folks who broach the topic on politics and religion are typically also having those things as a core part of their personality.

    I think typically polite company dictates no religion, no politics no money talk. Been that way forever.

      Absolutely agree.

      But unfortunately increasing numbers of people seem to feel the need to inject those topics (and their strong opinions on those topics) into otherwise normal conversation.
