I have to write and present a 5 minute pulic speaking speech and I have no clue what to do it on. It's my fifth year doing it (stupid curriculum) and I really can't think of anything I would like to do it on. PLease don't tell me to do it on abortion, smoking, drugs, euthanasia, global warming or any other over done, boring topics. I need something strong that has a lot that can be said about it. Something original preferably, but I don't mind.

It's bad enough I have to write a good speech and present it by Friday, I have to email an outline to my teacher by 12am (it's 7:07pm right now)


Any suggestions?

Help is greatly appreciated.

Homeless in America
Proverty in America
The state of our welfare system

It could be about anything. As long as I prove my arguements properly.

well can you prove that people have the right to a set of their own beliefs? if you think you can, check it out.

it might be challenging but challenges are good for the mind.

Please, continue with why zebras are cool. I'll seriously expand on it. Hell, I'll videotape my speech and post it.

You can include that there is an urban legend that Mr. ED was really a zebra. Of course he wasn't but people do believe that he was.

Ok I am just striking out. Well you could own a strap on.

I am sorry for assuming that you were female and the you lived in Canada, I assumed the Canada part by seeing the little flag. My mistake.

Hemp legalization?

Not a drug, per se.

probably still too taboo and closely related i bet.

at least schools will construe it to be.
