Well I'm still alive as of typing this, so I'm gonna go to bed. If I die in my sleep, you'll never know.

Do you want a serious debate or something lighthearted?
What do you consider dead horse topics for debate?
Serious.
Dead horse? Something I've been saturated by the media in, or has 50 or more pages of debate already dedicated to it on off-topic.
How about something like this?

Edit: Actually, never mind, too close to racism. Let me replace it with this piece:

I haven't been able to think of anything relatively novel that I haven't debated either here, on other forums, or with friends and family...
Maybe prison reform? To me personally, it's a pretty old topic, but I don't think that we've debated it here before and there are enough arguments within the topic to create a pretty lengthy discussion. The only problem I see is that it inevitably includes the capital punishment debate, which we've definitely done before.

How about mental health then? Similar principles to prison reform, but without capital punishment at the end. And it's relatively pertinent to ongoing issues and debates IRL.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##Squishalot##DELIM##

I'm sure the topic has merit, I just wonder what the actual debate might be over. Admittedly, I don't think I have enough knowledge of the field to pose a good argument for any topic that would present itself. It's definitely something I'd be interested in learning about, though.
I was actually thinking that the whole Mayan apocalypse situation presents itself with a good debate. If the world were about to end, how would we handle it? Of course, it would depend upon how the world was ending, but with some creative thinking, producing a believable scenario shouldn't be too hard. It raises a litany of social, moral, fiscal, philosophical, and scientific questions.

Sometimes I feel like that gross looking mushroom growing at the base of a tree that no one wants to touch or look at because it's a mushroom :(

It it makes you feel better, I always paid attention to tree-mushrooms when I was a kid. I did it with a wiffle bat, and they ended up in pieces all over the yard, but it was attention nonetheless.

This sounds pretty good. Let me see if I can find a thread for it, if not, I'll make one.
