I prefer getting my teeth into something I can argue about.

They say Politics and Religion are the two things you DON'T bring up at the table. They're the only things I bring up,

I hate small talk. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Cut the shit, and get to it.

I love starting random conversations with strangers. So yeah, small talk is a big thing for moi.

Me? I'm 25, male, and I live in the United States.

Trust me ladies and gents, there is a huge difference between 20 and 30. Your eyes will go, you will calm down and start being more tolerant of people, and you will find it easier to buy booze in pubs.
Two of those three statements are true to all people. One is true of only you and maybe a handful of others. Here's a hint it doesn't involve either an optometrist or a breathalyzer test. =)

I'm a chatty person and always end up a little disappointed when say, shopkeepers don't want to say something about the weather. When I worked in retail I always wanted to chat with the customers.

Oh well. 25, Female (good lord, I'm the only one!), California.

I don't like it or dislike it, it's just small things to talk about before you talk about other, bigger things. Not all conversations can be on challenging topics can they?

20, male, Ireland.

It depends. On the people, the place, and the time. If I'm feeling comfortable with all 3, I find it very easy and enjoyable to ramble on to people about nothing much in particular. If not, then I'd rather just say nothing.

18, Male, Shropshire/Aberystywth. (UK)

Please discuss why below. Also, if you respond to the poll, please give your age, gender, and home country, because I'd like to get an idea of the representative sample that I'm getting responses from. It's scientific! :-D

No it isn't, its a convenience sample.

OT:

I like small talk

I am 15

I am male

I live in San Marcos, Texas
I also like small talk, and I'm 15 and male. But I live in Canada.
I wouldn't usually ask, but could you guys maybe invade my country and impose socialized healthcare on America? At the rate our politicians our moving it'll probably never happen on its own.

hahaha

It's not too bad, sometimes it just feels a bit forced.

EXAMPLE: I was dressed as Pyramid Head on Halloween, went to a party in which I knew 4 people, no one at this party knew who I was suppossed to be.
Some girls laugh at my because I wasn't slutting it up as they were, came over and just did the 'Hi what's you name?' etc. I didn't really want to talk to them but it went on and on until one said "What are you anyway?" "I'm Pyramid Head." "Riiiight... and what do you do?" "I rape the shit out of stuff."
And that was that.

Oh 19, female from Leamington Spa England. :D

In terms of military might, that would be like one lone wasp attacking an entire colony of army ants.

I like small talk, it's light enough to carry in a standard trouser pocket and immensely versatile.
