Taboo topics of conversation.

[KotOD]

At my annual pig roast a few weeks ago, this topic struck me as I was involved in and listening to several conversations throughout the course of the day and evening. A number of people were involved in heated debate, over seemingly innocuous topics, but they were very passionate about the topic. These were not the typical "argument" topics like race, sex, religion, gender, politics, sports, national origin, or other known fire starters, but people were just as worked up, or even more so. Three of the topics that caused rage, pain and extreme amounts of ire were as follows:

1. Bill Hicks was/is not funny, he's just glorified because he's dead.
2. Chicken wings are disgusting.
3. Vegans are dishonest/hypocrites.

What other topics of conversation, excluding race, sex, religion, gender, politics, sports, national origin, or other known fire starters, can a person bring up in normal mixed company that will cause such a passionate response from one side or another?
