Controversies -- human knowledge abounds with them. People fundamentally disagree on a number of things for a variety of reasons (or emotions). Unique information, different knowledge levels, adherence to opposite ideologies, diverse underlying assumptions, etc. Controversial topics are more important for peoples lives than average topics, and by each side passionately arguing their stances and providing counter-arguments, we may discover details and facts which may change our opinions and maybe even our lives.
We submitted a list of over one thousand controversial articles from Wikipedia 
to Semantic Juice 
.
