Ideas!

[spiral]

Hey guys, I need to write a persuasive essay, about anything, however I need to take the unexpected stand on it, and convince the reader that my stand on the subject matter is right.

Any ideas on something interesting??

I'm having a hard time coming up with something.

Gun control? I did a speech about gun control in my public speaking class in college, the speech started and ended with a quote from Hitler. I recieved an A on the speech.

how about doing a persuasive speech on sweatshops.

when most people think of sweatshops they are totally against it and advocate banning them...but doing a speech pro sweatshops would be a total unexpected stand. most websites articles and such always talk about how terrible they are and how they treat the workers like slaves, but what about those people who work in the sweatshops to survive because it is the only means of making money. anyway just an idea.

How about legalizing marijuana that should blow everyone’s bloomers off! If you do the research you will see how much sense it all makes, but you would have to make a very confident presentation to persuade your peers. I know I did, and I got more OOHs and AAAHHHs then Jerry Springer does from his audience and as a result got a smashing A+ …after my professor and I smoked a fat one that is.

By the way there is nothing concerning sweatshops that can be persuaded, it’s quite apparent. They are built for money hungry Republicans and Corporate hogs with IRS on their ass and are used to evade taxes and threats of labor unions which eventually make their way in.

So legalization is still a very controversial issue in the States eh? I ask because in Canada, no one really seems to care, and oral presentations about the subject are frequent, even in high school, and most people adopt a pro-legalization stance in them.

lol, I think you went somewhere illegal. There were talks about the government selling it for medical purposes, but talks have stalled as of late, and it no longer seems to be a hot issue in the press.

Too late. I already told the RCMP (Canadian FBI). There should be men in red jackets on horses in front of your house in no time.
