Anyone know any active debating forums/sites?

Looking for websites dedicated exclusively to discussing/debating important topics (especially for finding arguments for and against a topic). Can anyone help?

Are you asking about academic debate competition forums?

It costs money but I've heard my fellow Debate Society members say that Planet Debate is awesome.

Not necessarily competitions (although it doesnt really matter, as long as the content is good), and not just about politics. Anything basically, religion, ethics etc.

Id prefer it to be free if possible.

The forums of the Straight Dope community are free to try for the first 30 days but require paid membership thereafter (viewing is always open to all).
