My personal favorite topic is the philosophy of time. Some of the traditional questions:
(1) Does time "flow" in the forward direction, or is this only an illusion
(2) If time does move "forward", how is this possible since the laws of physics are time symmetric
(3) Is the future "real" in the sense that the present or past is regarded as "real"
(4) Is time itself "real" or "illusion" (or "subjective", "absolute vs. relative", etc.)

If you're looking for a specific argument that's a bit off the beaten path, here's a question I posted awhile back that could be the basis for a debate:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArBRaohJRiTWMQ3FEEAd78Tsy6IX?qid=20060806223811AAgeONp
You could argue for example (using a scenario similar to this one), that it is possible to "reverse time", or to argue that the forward direction of time we experience is not the only "objective" possible direction that time has.
Good luck!

a million. The MARLINS/Rays/As/Royals haven't any followers and could be decreased in length, shipped off to Mexico, or despite. I capitalize Marlins because of the fact i'm one in all their followers, and that they have had astonishing fulfillment, yet a ways fewer human beings communicate down in regards to the Rays. 2. The Cubs are consistently destructive and could in no way ever win something ever lower back... even nevertheless they gained their final branch call in 2008. 3. The All-famous guy or woman activity is circuitously broken because of homefield benefit component, and became lots extra desirable earlier then. Apparantly no person recalls the courtroom circumstances in regards to the pointless 30-participant parade that existed previous to the 2003 international sequence. 4. The DH is stable for baseball, and the NL would desire to undertake it. Whomever says this has a conceptual fake impact of what makes baseball super. 5. participant X is a cheater because of the fact i think of they used steroids, which Mark McGwire extra into the league in 1995, so i've got faith constructive trusting the purity of anybody different than people who performed from 1995-2003. "dishonest" and PEDs have been a factor of baseball for an prolonged time, and in case you assume somebody who competes professionally to not take great component approximately gaps in the guidelines, then you definately're kidding your self, and function a basic fake impact of activities way of existence.
