Personally I'm not interested in debates at all. Both sides declare their champion to be winner, and both sides feel as if their chapion owned the other participant. Can't say I consider any formal debate of any value. Goes for relligious as well as political issues. It's just an exchange of well known talking points.
What does interest me are discussions. Something where people simply sit together with a host and don't have their prepared notes on every point being made.
