Question: Where online can I find open-minded debates?

This episode (RealAudio) of This American Life (last segment) contains a debate where both sides seem to seek common ground and refrain from using cliches or insults. Is there anywhere else on the internet that I can find debates (text/audio/whatever) where both parties are reasonable, polite, and at least partially open-minded? Extra points if the parties are well-informed.

The Public Conversations project put together some women on both sides to discuss the issue of abortion.

The Public Concersations project seems to have done this with other issues too. You might want to click around over there.

I've also been wondering about this. I'm disappointed this question hasn't gotten more links, or at least more discussion.
