massivedebate.com:

One big 72pt bold, binary question at the top (i.e. "Should the US healthcare
reform bill have been passed?)

Two columns.

You can scroll down the page and read the top-rated arguments on both sides,
then choose to type into either the "for" or "against" column field, and once
you've made your argument, you can go back up the column (and into the "new
arguments" view) and vote up and down _only the side that you chose._

After a few days, the question rotates, and it starts all over again.

I developed a site similar to that for a friend of mine: <http://nooges.com>

Basically he posts a daily comment through a backend forum, and then people
can agree or disagree or talk smack or whatever. You don't have to be
registered to post, but if you're registered under the forums and logged in
and post, it'll show your username.

I do like the name massivedebate.com, I'll suggest it to him to see if he's
interested in it.

I don't need any more domains or side projects, but I've always thought that
large-scale online conversations (Slashdot, Huff Po, etc) are still yet to be
done that well. MassiveDebate.com could be a suitable domain for someone
tackling the problem.
