Deny Ignorance Debate Challenges
#1
Debates often range in execution depending on the nature of the premise being explored... there are the "now what" debates, or "affirmation and denial" debates, some debates evolve around standing cultural norms, social conventions (political or "moral,") ; others are purely conspiratorial (with story exposition and evaluation,) or "observational and perspective" disharmonies.  

In each, there is an implicit agreement... the premise is sacrosanct.  Without this agreed understanding, the premise can shift, robbing the debate of purpose.  The exercise itself, like a sport, means each debater doesn't "yield" their position, they each do not accept the opposite argument as ultimately 'convincing' and 'valid.'  It has nothing to do with what they personally believe... it is a "game to be won."

In order to refine our interest (which I am presuming exists) I will submit a list of 10 potential debate premises.  I will also attempt to make them into a poll so members can casually declare what they think more interesting or relevant to them.  There are over 400 of us here, and while many (if not most) do not explore the world of debate, I can only hope that the few seconds it takes to participate won't be too great a burden...

(Of course this may be complicated by the architecture of the forums and technical matters... but have a look see...
