I think it's the best debate site, and I've tried all the others. This place just seems to have a much better community, a cooler interface, and more features than any of the other sites. I hope that CreateDebate continues to grow and add more users because I love the variety of opinions I find here.

I think it is, but i havnt been to alot of debate sites.

I don't know many others so I am gonna have to say yes.

Oh my gosh! There is other debate sites????

What am I still doing here!!!!

;)

Na...I love this site!

I'll argue the no position because, well, we don't have any point of reference.

If you'd link to a couple more debate sites in the debate topic, maybe we could actually judge, but I don't know any other sites dedicated to real debate.

I'm a member of several political forums, but those are just regular discussion forums, not actual "debate".

Well, first, good debate requires free speech. Now this is actually a good test, because I do not agree with the idea that CreateDebate is the best debate site. There are a few other "decent" sites like "debate.org", "riledup", "whereistand", and CreateDebate is certainly better than those. However, I would say that "Argumentum" (see link below), is more sophisticated, yet simpler at the same time. Seems like an oxymoron, but the best sites (google) "seem" simple to the observer, but there is a lot more going on underneath. It features far superior integration with Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, and email.. and is more thoroughly grounded scientifically. It is based on concepts from argumentation theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentation_theory , behavioral economics, and neural networks.. and plain old common sense. Its quite simply, the best place to argue on the web today.
