(3) So I would never discuss certain topics even in a so-called private message
or in one of the members-only forum. When you live in the United States, you learn
to keep very quiet regarding certain topics. I imagine that every country has its
taboo subjects.
(4) In fact, I just read something that I wrote down in my notebook of quotations:
"Whatever is on your mind does not need to be on your lips."
@
TheParser, thank you for the quotation.:up: I should have learned that many years ago ;-), but
better late than never.
I understand your reticence (not sure it is the right word) although I am neither in the US not in the country in question (or country concerned - not sure which one is better here). But I am surprised about 'When you live in the United States, you learn
to keep very quiet regarding certain topics.' Because I think there is complete freedom of speech in the US unlike in countries like China or other authoritarian regimes. Of course, I understand that some views may be controversial, but as long as they are not politically incorrect, I thought it may be OK to express. But the quotation is the ultimate wisdom here because I also know that whatever is said on the Internet stays there pretty much for ever (forever?).
