What should the topic of my persuasive speech be?

Asked by smile1 (493points) November 21st, 2009

I am to write a persuasive one minute speech on whatever I want.

I am at a stop in my creativity! The topic can be funny (like the need to wear socks with sandals…), or serious. anything really.

I was thinking having a hilarious topic would be a lot more fun to write about!

Any ideas?

Salary caps on rookie football players.
I am from Oakland, and JaMarcus Russell, the “quarterback” signed a six-year contract worth up to $68 million, with $31.5 million guaranteed, then shows up to training camp over 300 lbs. He plays like an idiot, and now has been benched as starter.

What about sarcasm 101, a new course to be given in colleges??

The only problem with that one is, I am not particularly good with sarcasm…
