What should I do a persuasive speech on?

You should have used Shotgunsteves "I have big walls" to the tune of "Big balls" by AC/DC.

Sounds like you have a fantastic group of class A dumb fucks in your class. How many people are in it so we can get a rough idea on dumb fuck ratio?

Like 25. There were 6 total speeches today, so 2/6 were dumb fuck speeches. The other day it was 3 for 3. I don't remember or missed the rest. 2 left on monday. So a full 1/3 to 1/2 are dumbfucks.

Heh.. I took speech as a freshman and was still quite the gaming nerd. (1993) I did mine on "Why gaming is not a waste of time". Did my followup "How to" speech on "How NOT to get beaten up by the college football team". (Hint: It's means not getting drunk in the dorm and yell shit out the eighth story window at other angry drunks on a weekend night).

I usually tried to make my speeches funny. I know EXACTLY what you mean about listening to painful speeches. Mine were at least tolerable, and I received As on all of them.

(And my speech prof was an incredibly hot twentysomething female. That made it one of my favorite classes!)


Unrelated, but I had 2 wisdom teeth taken out the day I had to give the group's oral report in some business class. I was high as a kite and my mouth was full of bloody gauze. I said "Mrfl glurg..." And the teacher said, "That's disgusting. Sit down. You get an A."

Sounds like a real bunch of winners. Reminds me of what Adam Carolla calls community (my bad, JUNIOR) colleges: high schools with ash trays.

I did a persuasive speech supporting concealed carry on my college campus. Before giving my speech, my professor told me flat-out that it wouldn't be a good topic since neither she nor anyone in the class would support it. However, after I was done, I had multiple students that showed interest in the idea, and the professor told me it was one of the best speeches she has ever heard.

Your professor sucks.
I'm a liberal, so calling someone else a communist hippy is pretty strong coming from me, but she's a commie.
Any professor saying you shouldnt talk about something because they dont like it needs to have their ass thrown out in the real world for a year and learn what its like to have to forge your own path.
She's had it way too easy, far too long.

Weird, I did a presentation on the exact same subject for some pointless Communications class too. It was hilarious because I had some powerpoint slides to illustrate the cosmetic differences between what was banned and what wasn't and some people in the front row actually had a physical reaction to seeing an "assault rifle" on the projector.

lol, I didn't even bother with any AV aid, I should have a very very strong A in the class, compared to my classmates anyways. It probably would have been the same reaction, especially when it was a picture of me holding said assault weapon
