CompaņeroDeLibertad's idea in the Politics forum was simply too brilliant not to be used even in S&E (thanks!). Some topics come up again and again. And again and again. They have been thoroughly discussed, reactionary approaches have been refuted, brilliant points have been brought up.

So 'feel free' to comment in these threads before necessarily starting a new one, although I'm not discouraging that either, of course. These old debates can also be a good source of inspiration for new ones. :)

Ideas for topics to be listed here are welcome.
