Painful to sit through

I can't think of anything clever. I'm just gonna wing it no matter what I end up picking.

Were you the one who got sent off to Iraq?

If you had learned anything valuable, may be a good chance to talk about it

I went to Iraq for 14 months yes. Not sure what I could persuade based off of that.

"why more than 6 minutes is needed for someone to persuade another"

 

[nonameo]

persuade them to NOT be persuaded by your speech.

 

[TallBill]

Well if I can't think of something hilarious and sarcastic by morning I'll just do "why most gun control fails".

 

[Auryg]

I did one in college on why there shouldn't be speech classes. Tossed in enough humor to make the professor not be angry and got an A on it.

Do so at your own risk though.

The only problem with the witty/sarcastic/mocking style speeches is that if they're not delivered well/received well (depends on your audience), you just kinda look like a douche.

 

[djheater]

I did mine on something the teacher was a proponent of. Ass-kissing, it's what you learn in school.

 

[Ruptga]

Convince everyone that "if a tree falls in a forest with nobody to hear it, it doesn't make a sound"

 

[dudeman007]

I did a persuasive speech about 2 months ago on WoW and how people shouldn't play it.

One of my favorites to show people, its so unintuitive.

 

[TallBill]

Fuck, what a painful day of speeches. Mine is done though. I'll attend on monday to witness only 2 more and then the class is over. Wrapped up nicer then my other 3 classes.

 

[Bulk Beef]

Wow - this has to be community college, right? You should see the fucktards in my chemistry class.

 

[chorb]

Or combined all the good ideas into a super idea:

Why topless women who smoke weed should be allowed to carry assault weapons while volunteering.

 

[Queasy]

LMAO - I love stupid college freshman stories. :thumbsup:

Yes.. I seriously almost started laughing when Pink Floyd came on.. and stayed on, lol

 

[Bateluer]

I'd avoid political topics personally, you're almost guaranteed to piss someone on your audience off.

 

[clamum]

LOL at the drug "money is evil" guy's speech. Hahahaha
