My Persuasive Speech.

So... I need a 4-6 minute speech and my teacher gave me a 4 or 5 page packet full of topic and most notably I singled out

Hip Hop Culture

Marijuana Laws

Lower Drinking Age

and

Breast Cancer Research

Sports and Drugs

but these two are just backups

Any help on which to pick and on how to persuade, yada, etc.

i just got done doing one on drunk driving laws though, thats a pretty good topic, and i've done breast cancer, both worked out very well

I did one on why polygamy should be legal. It was a similar assignment.

Don't do Hip Hop culture, there's too many differing opinions and no research really.

I'd say do Marijuana law because there is overwhelming scientific research on why they are useless and even more research on the benefits of marijuana. And the only studies stating the opposite are government funded ones.

If you do marijuana laws just do a very good job. Hit every point your supposed to if you have a rubric and just try very hard in general. If she still gives you a bad grade then bitch to the principal and get her crusty cunt disciplined by the boss man.

If you have to bitch all the way up to the supreme court. Bitching is the only way things ever really change, for better or for worse.

Glad to hear. I'd just be wary. You really don't have much say when it comes to grades in Highschool. Teachers get on a serious power trip when you try to argue things with them.

But you sound like me. I said fuck it and did a speech on Cannabis and even though my teacher was a staunch republican even he had to admit my argument was sound.
