Intelligent discussion of an important, interesting topic can be terrific at a dinner party -- assuming no one uses offensive language or descends into full-scale arguing. Most subjects -- world events, sports, the stock market, even politics -- should be fair game, as long as you express yourself in a rational way, listen with an open mind, and don't insist too vehemently on your own views.

Re Peggy Post on Political Debates

I was thinking the same thing. (But didn't want to say it first because I had my dinner-party manners on! )

Cassoulet?

Hey, bean stew spelled anyway is not worthy of a "polite" debate.

Put beans into anything and there's bound to be fireworks.
