I'm looking for "safe" questions that lead to interesting/fun debate for people of all ages & experience.
A "safe" question is: NOT political or religious.
The purpose would be to increase vocabulary & boost discussion and conversational skills in an English conversation school.

Yes I am a teacher.
I work in an English conversation school & debate needs to consider ALL clients.
Though I believe political and religious debate to be valuable - the purpose of the debate would be educational from a linguistic & fun perspective.

You can try out these 2 questions -
1. Will men continue to dominate in the next century?
2. Is 'Honesty the best Policy' ?
Hope you have fun with these questions.

I think it SHOULD be religious or political. Realistically, we can't keep sterilizing our kid's consciousness from stuff they most certainly will have to debate and struggle with as they inherit our problems from us. At least, let's make them rational and optimistic in dealing with these problems by exercising their perceptions about the issues now. You don't send your kid into the woods without shoes, why send him into the future without awareness.
