Also quite number of people here is in Universities or plan to study in an Uni... and many have problems expressing their opinions out of loud in front of people. This would be a good way to start learning, for those who chose so.

And also sometimes hearing oposing idea may shock us in the beginning... but in the end may offer a valued perspective.

I have been member on dozens of debate forums, mainly political once some very heated, some quite mild and mature, some were quite academic (with all acknowledging the insight of others and respectfully disagreeing).
