What can of worms? o.O *Is sometimes very stupid when it comes to english expressions*
Hehe, 'opening a can of worms' is the expression used for when you trigger some major event with something that might otherwise seem inoffensive or not a big deal. So in this case, talking about [insert American political triggerword, such as 'socialism'] would be opening the can of worms, since people can get very emotionally overwrought by the topic.
. . .or the simpler version wikipedia just gave me: A can of worms is a complex, troublesome situation arising when a decision or action produces considerable subsequent problems.
