For my own part, I like a good debate, so long as it does not digress to name calling. Unfortunately, it seems that this happens moer often than not. It's interesting to learn others' viewpoints, and certainly interesting to learn. Yeah, I guess I do like it.

I am a HS English teacher. This year my students had to do debateable topics on their research papers. Here are some of the topics my students did that I enjoyed most:\n1. Is surrogate parenting a good idea?\n2. Is there a truly such a thing as Christian "Rock"\n3.  Illegal immigration, do we send them back?\n4. Why are we in Iraq?\n5.  Child abuse or Biblical "Spare the Rod"\n6.  Is Cosmetic Surgery a Sin?\n7. Overseas Adoptions, should we stay in America for our  Babies?\n8.  Interracial Dating, who does it benefit?\n9. Cloning, How many more of YOU can we stand?\nJust ideas. Hope they help!

http://www.beliefnet.com\n\nSome of the discussions over there do get pretty heated sometimes, but just ask, as you did above, for a rational discussion. You might end up getting one.

Equality. If all people are equal, then there would be nothing to fight about.

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.

Just try Googling "gambling sports" and maybe the words "discussion debate morality ethic" and see what comes up.  It's a common enough topic of discussion.  Try your local librarian, too - they are really very good at what they do, they want to help you more than I do, and it's free!

Anything that you feel strongly about and are well educated on. Topics could be ..... War in Iraq, abortion, national health care, removing or keeping the trade embargo against Cuba, seperation of church and state, and many others. Keep in mind that your opinion will likely be at odds with at the very least a few. Also make sure and research what points people will use to argue against your position, but mostly try and pick something you feel strongly about and prepare yourself.

Option 1: take a controversial topic and defend one side. (like abortion, immigration, national security, homosexuality, etc.)\n\nOption 2: take a ridiculous topic and defend one side (like "the sky is purple" "people should eat elephants" "convicts should eat each other" "Canada should annex Zimbabwe" etc"\n\nOption 3: take a mediocre topic and talk about it (like "people are good" "I should have an A on this presentation" etc.)

Check out http://www.ClassTopic.com They have some great topics that I've used in the past. Each topic has three good sources to get you started on the research, too.

All interesting topics. Two sides to all the issues so you can choose any side you want. Juvenile justice I like. Some people think that we need to charge 14 year olds as adults and throw away the key. But there's a lot of info on the other side too. 14 year olds aren't adults when they're "good' so why are they when they're bad. It can be argued that we need a better system. There is science that teenage brains aren't fully developed. And it's a money issue-if you throw a 14 yr old in prison for life instead of rehabilitation, that gets expensive. Not to mention our prisons are full. And then the war against drugs. Another great topic. Do some searches using some of those terms-wikipedia.com is a good place to start looking for ideas....

Marx's conflict thoery is a fun one.  Or Durkheim's on solidarity.  George Ritzer is a great source to start with.
