I talk pretty freely too, but I think I occasionally think before I speak more in real life about how what I say may permanently affect my relationships with other people. It matters more to me in real life that a person has become upset or angry than it matters here. I care about other people's comfort; on GreekChat, I assume that if you're in the news and politics forum, you like to mix it up.
There's also a matter of risk that exist when we talk about race or class or gender in real life. Some people are interested in classifying others and treating them differently based on that classification. Here, there are very few consequences.

Describe to me what you mean by thinking before one speaks in real life?
I do not share your sentiments about the news and politics forum.
Be mindful of what you say on the internet, more often than not, it comes to bite you when you least expect it...
