Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Long-Lasting Arguments
When I was a lad (still am, sort-of), way back in Grade 5, I had a few friends back in primary school who were big on Star Wars, you know the sort.
One day, our teacher decided that, as part of the curriculum, everyone in the class should get together and form clubs. Of course, the Star Wars Club was quickly formed, but not without an argument. One of my friends had,just days before, discovered "the other Star Wars" and had become a Trekkie.
*dramatic gasp!*
He thought the group name should be the Star Club, so that he and his wild beliefs could feel more accepted.
This argument started a chain reaction, which led to the falling out of him and his best friend, who had been best mates since they were babies. Many years later, he thinks 'Star Club', his ex-best friend still stubbornly thinks 'Star Wars Club'.
Have you ever had an issue/argument with someone that's lasted longer than it should have, or one that's even still going strong to this very day?
