Next time you decide to have a college debate, why not pick one from our funny debate topics for college students and shake things up a little bit?
Debates have always been extremely useful for practicing your oratorical skills. It is an excellent way to fight stage fright and eliminate the fear of performing in front of a large audience. Of course, some people take to it like a duck to water and stating their opinion in front of a large crowd is a piece of cake. On the other hand, there are those that feel anxious at the very thought of facing several people and expressing their attitude, let alone doing so in front of a large crowd. Also, the very look at the list of serious controversial debate topics can put you off from joining a discussion. It is hard enough to argue about the ordinary topics, and even harder to speak your mind about something that most people disagree about. For all those palm-sweaters out there, we are going to show you a list of light hearted debate topics.
