Perhaps a better comparison would be Exploring the MIND or reaching the stars, which is more pertinant.
Just a suggestion
Post removed; I need to do more research before I enter that kind of debate.
What about for the people from Aus and the UK
Monarchy vs Democracy- Do we really need the Royal family?

Labour or Tory- The better choice for Britain (although thats in the bag anyway lol!)
Capital Punishment- An eye for an eye or should we turn the other cheek?

If you do this, I'd like to debate that it has

Raistlin, I will challange you to a debate, you would have to pick though.
I'd like to do a 2v2 with Walken on my team for that femenism debate, if that's all right with you guys.
I'd rather do a 1 V 1, but beggers can't be choosers
Although I warn ye, you may have to take a back seat. I have a very good knowledge of the subject, a huge range and feel very strongly about it.

With reference to this thread, if we could be immortal, is it a moral thing to allow?

Hmmmm

Hello
I have a suggestion that I would like to bring forth.
It would be a neat idea that whenever these debates go on, we have a corrosponding link to a discussion forum where we can post our own comments during and after the debate has concluded.
Perhaps a exit poll, in addition to the judges would also create more interest and excitement.
Some of these debates are very well done, and should be advertised in the forum better.

I agree. Call it a Peanut Gallery. But, we should only do it after the debate concludes.
But its a great way to be more democratic about it.
In case Quicksand hasnt already posted it , We have a pre-made debate suggestion .
"Is our reality the truth" Basically whether or not its possible that we are living in the matrix or some other alternative universe and that this reality is just a dream .
Quicksand is taking the position that it is not possible .
Im taking the positive .

well, I would want to debate on this, as I would like to think they exist, but really feel it's an extension of our subconcious....
I would be willing to debate against it, if theres any takers...
I have a few theories, and i did research the famous 'Enfield Poltergeist' case a lil' while back...
I have a suggestion that might be interesting....
Is the human race really THE supirior race or are we nothing but a disease to the planet?

That's a good suggestion!!! Definitely one that we'd like to explore, however there are a lot of debates going on right now. I think we'll wait for a few to finish before starting any new ones. 
How about the classic old arguement of is Man really stronger than Woman??
It's a good argument, but personally I don't know if there's really 5 posts worth of debate material. 
Will nanotechnology be a gift, or a curse?
Hows this-
Could a Gender specific society Function?
I'm not asking if it could exist, because I believe a few years down the line it could. but could it actually FUNCTION? A man or women specific society?

YAY. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for that, argue against the possibbility...
this has probably been done before, but how about this: video games: are they having a negative effect on today's youth?
probably lame, i know

I'm not sure which way this would work but similar suggestions are welcome.
On mood disorders like Schitzophrenia....at what point does a person become classified as 'insane'.

Creationism or Evolutionism?
Do you believe, like 45 per cent of Americans believe that the Earth was created by God within the past 10,000 years,
or do you hold, like me to the belief that the earth, as we know it has slowly evolved naturally over millions of years?
I would love to debate for Evoulutionism, anyone up for it?

I wouldn't mind debating against Abortion, I think it is terrible, but I am kinda in the middle of waiting for a reply for the Kurt suicide thing.
