Our goal is to make the best arguments on all sides of any debate freely available to all and continuously open to challenge and improvement by all.

Doh! It does sound awesome. I'll check it out in the next couple days. But damn - it was an idea I was working on. I just don't have the skills to create the website to do it. Oh well. if this site does what I was intending, it's better that it exists (and will hopefully be used) than that it is my idea but it stays in my head.

I know how you feel. I had the same thing with Google, Wikipedia and YouTube.

I've known about the concept of such a site for some years and understood then the potential power of it. So I'm really excited about this and will be checking this thing out.

Me too! I had Scotch Tape all figured out, but then it got stuck on my paws, and I ended up going berzerk and jumping up and down and shit and no one took me seriously. And don't even ask me about Post-It Notes!

I also had an idea for a debate Website. My idea involved recruiting known personalities to engage in online debates and having users vote on the winner. Eventually, I envisaged, enough interest would be generated to have users participate, and each would acquire a rating and a debate history. The best-rated debaters would square off, etc.
