I have for a period of time been watching debates on religion starring Hitchens, Harris, Dawkins and the likes. Must also admit that I enjoyed debates with the religious nut Kent Hovind. I really enjoy debates as a source of entertainment. Im looking for tips for other debates out there on the internet (not necessarily debates on religion) Any tips appreciated! ---

[moderating] Moved from General Questions to In My Humble Opinion. Interesting conundrum on where to put this one. It says “Great Debates” right there in the title, but it’s really looking for opinions on good debates, so I chose IMHO. Either way, it’s not a General Question… [/moderating] ---

For sheer oratory, try William Hague.
