I guess I'm late seeing this one, but I'll give my two cents W-erist!
In public settings through my personal experience, here are a few common mentalities I disagree with:
Religion is taboo
Atheism is evil
Philisophical discussions are boring
Some questions are too hard to asnwer and therefore not worth thinking about
If you can't prove it wrong, it must be right
Not only do I not agree with these opinions on these topics, I find myself on the opposite side of the fence on all of them, and am very passionate about them. I am continuously greatful for the opportunity to interact with such intelligent people that share a same passion for these things as well, even if, and sometimes especially when, we don't agree. My approach to these subjects has changed even in the short period of time i've been here, and I feel it has been for the better (Your approach to discussion has taught me something too Whateverist). I don't have anywhere else to talk about these things, because I don't know anyone else that cares about them. Honestly, I can't imagine a better place to do it in, or better, more qualified people to challenge my thoughts and sharpen my mind.
p.s.
Sometimes I get carried away and i'm an ass. Don't judge me on those samples.
