Good Evening RRT, We have just today launched a debatabase facebook page http://www.facebook.com/Debatabase where I will add debates that are relevant to current affairs and topics that are in the news with a bit about how they are relevant. I hope that we will be able to stimulate some interesting discussions and I will of course be sending you many of them in the hope that you will join in. The preview site will also be becoming the main idebate site later this week!
