Why not ask us what would be a good question to ask...?

Basically the same things.  I wish that there were some actual topical questions regarding politics, not just finger pointing and hate.  I will admit that in the abscence of any logical questions to answer I will "mess" with "Liberals", although I think that many of the so-called "liberals" and "republicans" in this forum are not "real" but trollers looking to start a fight.\n\nI would be happy to debate with anyone that can sustain a logical, coherent train of thought and not degenerate into a "you're a facist oil lover" or "you're a communist anti-american terrorist lover".  I don't think we can all get along, but we are going to have to talk to each other if we want to save our country.

I am sorry. Do you have to write an essay or speak in a debate? If it is a debate you should have POINTS that you will use, not written out speeches, or you will be lost if the other person makes a point that you did not write out in your speech.\n\nImran

You know your campus better than any of us.  What is an issue on your campus? Are people polarized about the war in Iraq? Legalizing marijuana? Selling beer at football games?  Can men be the victims of domestic violence? Was Carlsbad really a government conspiracy to hide the truth about aliens? Anything that you can get people to argue about could be a good topic for a persuasive speech.  Then you take a side, any side, and argue persuasively for that side.   I have my students do their next persuasive paper arguing the reverse side of the issue.   The following websites has dozens of ideas for persuasive topics.  Good luck.

Maybe animal experimentation? If you want a source for some information on the topics you mentioned (and a few more), take a look at http://www.balancedpolitics.org/. It'll discuss the pros and cons of each issue.\n\nGood luck with that.

Any chance you can ask an intelligent question?

Anything that has to do with politics or religions will be a good topic, but becareful these topics can turn into anger and violence.  \n\nA good topic should be one that people usually have strong and mixed opinions on.

Is this for a conference or for a classroom exercise? If for a conference - it depends on: (a) how much time you have and (b) what the purpose is - but you should spend a  little bit of time introducing and giving a foundation for your topic. Then create at least 3-5 questions that you can ask the people participating that will either lead them to look at your topic from different perspectives or get them engaged in a mini debate. If this is for some paper you are still writing (like a dissertation or thesis), you may also want to ask the participants for more ideas. If this is for a classroom . . . I have no ideas! :-)

A debate is basically a peaceful exchange or constructive agrument of differing opinions.  For example, two political candidates might debate their views and opinions of current social issues that their voting public would like to see addressed.  Debating creates a forum for various perspectives and opinions to be presented so that the contenders and any audience can get a full insight into the issue that is being exchanged.

Government debates....

two types of debate, CX and LD\n\nCX works well for someone who wants a partner to lean on...deals heavily with evidence and current events.\n\nLD  is well for the loner...deals heavily with theory and philosophers.\n\nIn between your debates, you have extra little events like impromtu speeches and such. \n\nBoth are good for learning to speak in front of crowds and formulate an argument (strong skills to have in college). My bias is towards CX as it trains you to research well, keeps ya up on current events, and it's generally more flexible and therefore more fun. \n\nBasically what you do is sit around all the time reading over theories, articles, etc...putting together evidence, arguing, so on and so forth. \n\nI would recommend debate to anyone, as those who apply themselves well really stand out in college. Being in college now I can spot a debater in the first week. \n\nGood luck and have fun...some of your fondest memories of high school will be a result of being on the debate team.
