Salary - how much do you make? - That's none of your business!
Politics - wait to you get to know the person better
Intimate relationships - only for you and your partner - or maybe your best friend
Religion - tolerance is the key!
Death - we need to face it, but not the first time we meet someone new
Financial - related to salary above, most people prefer to keep financial information to themselves
Sales - Don't try to sell something to someone you have just met.
