Do you have a question you'd like to see argued about? Would you like to indicate your position and discuss it with someone who disagrees?
Add poll options to the thread below to find questions with lots of interest and disagreement.
How to use the poll
- Reacts: Click on the agree/disagree reacts to help people see how much disagreement there is on the topic.
- Karma: Upvote positions that you'd like to read dialogues about.
- New Poll Option: Add new positions for people to take sides on. Please add the agree/disagree reacts to new poll options you make.
The goal is to show people where a lot of interesting disagreement lies. This can be used to find discussion and dialogue topics in the future.

Versus e.g. just limited to a small disempowered population, but living in pleasant conditions? Or a large population living in unpleasant conditions, but where everyone at least has the option of suicide? ↩︎
