There is less trolling on the suse mailing lists.

Yes, stable is very secure, if you put the security deb uris
in your sources.list, fixes are available within hours of
publication of vulnerability, often.

Also, debian does not enable so many services by default as
some other distributions do.  When you want a service, you 
must install and configure it yourself.  Usually this is very
easy, because many maintainers make their packages configure
themself automatically during installation.

Sometimes, debian like to assume that you know what you are 
doing, though.  There is no "alias rm='rm -i'" in the debian
/etc/profile.
