फैन्पॉप is brilliant and everything but does anyone know of any other really great वाद-विवाद places on the net?

First one needs to specify whether actual वाद-विवाद (with theses, arguments, counter-arguments, etc) is desired, या just interesting discussion.

Most actual वाद-विवाद is done within the academy. Therefore, some interesting sites for वाद-विवाद are:
* debate-central.org
* pfdebate.com

In general, if आप want debate, आप want to stay away from any site that uses the terms "debate" and "discussion" in the same sentence.

For discussions, आप would do well to try:
* volconvo.com - all topics
* arguewitheveryone.com - politics
* puretalkforum - anything controversial
* ukdebate.co.uk/forums (sic) - primarily politics

No, but when आप find one, tell me, so I can dominate it.

OK, in order to make this an actual ANSWER rather than just a comment, I'll tell आप a story. I cultivated my mad skills over at Ye Olde Muggle Informer, a website I frequented as a preteen-teen. They had a thread for politics and current events. It was the great folks over at the link who taught me what courtesy was in controversial conversations.

However, that place is और या less dead now. It's hard for a Harry Potter प्रशंसक site to stay active as long as that one has (nearly ten years, it would be now). So...

It just occurred to me that I didn't answer your सवाल at all. *Looks at big yellow box above टिप्पणी दे space.* Oops.

Um. Carry on.

the yahoo जवाब foroums are good for discussions

well if ur looking for a policy वाद-विवाद या otherwise orginzied वाद-विवाद cross-x.com is the place

फैन्पॉप is the best वाद-विवाद website ever known. The other वाद-विवाद websites aren't really that good.
