I need ideas
 

I need some ideas for a persuasive speech.
Can't do it on gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, or abortion.
Help me out.

Why not? o:

Make an affirmative stance concerning Nazism. Should liven things up.

Gay Marriage: If my teacher allows someone to do a persuasive speech supporting gay marriage, she would have to allow someone to do a persuasive speech going against gay marriage which may offend some people.
Legalization Of Marijuana: My teacher said she absolutely will not listen to it and if we do it on legalization of marijuana then she would automatically give us an F. I think it has to do something with her personal life.
Abortion: Same with gay marriage. And an argument can easily start if you do it on this topic.

When she first told us about the speech I thought about doing it on gay marriage but then she told us we couldn't. Now I have no idea on what to do it about. My sister said she did her speech about Life Support, and that's a topic that I would be willing to do but I would like to see some other ideas first before I start on it.

Increasing/decreasing speed limits?

Did she specify weed? You could argue for the legalization of herion. Really watch her head spin.

How about legalizing prostitution? The government shouldn't prevent two consenting adults from entering into a contract. (It's also the primary argument for allowing gay marriage.)

I'm pretty sure if i talk about the legalization of hookers people will start thinking stuff about meG__G

One doesn't need to have a personal belief to be able to argue persuasively for the position. It's easy to argue for what you hold dear. It takes skill to argue for something that you don't personally hold as true.

Wow, give people F's just for disagreeing with them.

How about Euthenasia ? (I think thats how it's spelt)

That's always a good topic. For kicks, take an affirmative stance. Claim Soylent Green is a documentary.

For a challenge (and death threats) try taking NAMBLA's position...


Stumbled across some stuff a while back and it was seriously scary.

Who cares about the youth in Asia - how about the youth in Australia? If you want to blow her mind, argue the case against Global Warming, since I'm assuming that she is, like most of the education establishment, a flaming lib. Hell, it's supposed to snow in Chicago on Sunday - the earliest since records have been kept.

SAY NO TO GLOBAL WARMING!

/extremelypersuasive

Yeah, that crap is pretty scary - probably a good way to get yourself pegged as gay. You could also argue internet censorship, either for or against.

SAY NO TO CENSORING GARFIELD IN CHINA!!

/extremelypersuasiveagain

LOL, I could use some global warming right about now - what the hell happened to summer?

:cries:

Are you trying to push my buttons, Blaaah? Don't make me get the monkey brigade after you.....


Wait, that's it, argue against monkey emoticons on FiestaFan!!!!!! :laugh:

I hope that you're jokingly mentioning snow to show that global climate change isn't happening. There are some people that actually think that.

No, that was a joke - however, there is plenty of evidence that the entire global warming scare is a hoax. I was just throwing it out as a possible topic.

I saw on the morning show the other day that this guy is campaigning for a man allowed to marry two wives... (there's a word for it, but I forgot what it was..)

"2/3 of the men admit that they've had an affair in their lives, and by allowing them to marry more than 1 wife, they don't have to hide..."

LOL

Polygamy~

I don't see how she could get away with automatically giving an F when you do it about legalization of marijuana. Seems to me like you could er... whats it called? Well, like go against it or something with some "higher authority" (dunno how else to say it, I hope you get what I mean XD).

And tbh that seems like a fair topic.

Why would anyone want more than 1 wife - that's like being sent to hell more than once. :devil:

LOLOLOL xD

:cheeky: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Men having sex with little boys? G__G

Oh and guys, i actually like my teacher. So I wouldn't want to piss her off.

....Again, Euthinasia, It's a good topic, alot of fors and againsts.
For those who dont know, Euthinasia is having the wright to be 'put down' if you want to, for example if you were living in utter pain you could go to a country where it is legal and they give you a legal injection if you want.

Should horse carriage be stopped.
Year by year many horse are killed by accidents, but politics never looked into them.

Help save them O:

You should argue that production companies should no longer mine 1980's cartoons for their ideas for live action movies. I just got finished watching G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. Bleargh.

This could be the only exception:
