Quote:ps dancing bananas do not make good debates.
Of course dancing bananas make good debates! :o It's all in the presentation. For example, you could debate the merits of bananas dancing disco vs the mamba, or argue for a new style of dancing on bananas. At the very least, your audience will be more entertained than arguing about exporting all Canadian welfare dependants.

Of course, you probably want something with more substance than a dancing banana debate, so here are a few ideas. We should use criminals for human lab rats. In this way, they can repay their debt to society, and nobody will care much if they contract some incurable disease or condition. (I'm guessing you're Canadian, but forgive me if I'm wrong.) Since bike gangs are taking over Canada (I actually saw a book proclaiming this when I visited in early June), motorcycles should be outlawed. This will solve the problem. See, just about anything in the outrageous claims post can usually be turned into a pretty good argument if you follow its semi-logical precepts. (After all, a good outrageous claim is fully defensible.)

If you want a more outrageous flavor of debate, you can always try something else. Cats are actually aliens from another planet and are studying us. Alligators make good watchreptiles. Ketchup cures cancer. The only problem is keeping it in the realms of debateability, since you will have to find facts to support your position, but these can be a lot of fun.

Sorry for posting so long. Hopefully, I've given you something to think about. May all your debates be thought-provoking and insightful. :rolleyes:
Quality over quantity.
