The other night I did the erudite thing to do and flipped on the BBC just in time to catch a lively debate presented by Intelligence Squared. Both the content ("Is Europe Failing Its Muslims?") and process ("Oxford Union" debate) of the debate were engaging and thought it would be worthwhile to link you in to this resource (unless your own erudition has you acquainted with this forum and enabled you to square your intelligence). The following provides further description as noted on the Intelligence Squared website:
"Intelligence Squared is Britain's premier debating forum, providing a unique platform for the world's leading figures in politics, journalism, and the media to contest the most important issues of the day, be they political, social, intellectual or historical. Employing the classic "Oxford Union" style of debating, the world's leading speakers are pitched against each other with a clearly defined motion, to try and win over the votes of the audience through intellectual argument, charm and persuasion."
