    I need an idea for a speech...fast! *please*

    Like the title says, I need an idea for a speech. The speech itself needs to be about 5 mins long, but I figure 3 will be good enough. It's for a speech competition...tomorrow. I have completely exhausted my brain of ideas, so I leave it up to AO to decide. If you post an idea, please include 3 supporting issues, which will be used for the body. I've gone through about 3 drafts, and I threw them all because they all lacked inspiration. It's in the category "Original Oratory", so nothing too informative. It's going to pretty much be a 3 minute rant by me.

    Please?

    Anyhow, try to come up with one yourself. An issue you feel strongly one way or the other on.

    I can give you all the topics in the world. However, when it comes down to it, your raw emotions about the topic are what decides whether you are 1st or 2nd.

        The things is, I can't get inspired right now. It's just not happening. Ona good day I could sit down and write a 3 page long rant about nohting. but right now I think I'm just too nervous to get any good ideas. I could really care less about how good or bad I do at the meet, believe me. I seriously can't get past an intro P for any given idea that I have come up with. Arghhh!

              I did a speech in my senior year of HS where the only criteria we were given was make it something controversial. So I did Ricers vs Domestics. Needless to say the speech was flawless and my english teacher gave me an A on it (I used the same speech for 2 classes ) However, my personal law teacher (the only class whose credits I needed left to graduate HS) deemed rice rocket a racial slur and in the process of arguing I wound up removed from the class and nearly arrested. Its not nice to tell me Im not graduating on the last hour of the last day of my last year of school Ah well, summer school was fun.

                  "they give hobos jobs over the winter. and come springtime they have a stylish warm hat."
                  "imported hats give people like little ol pedro here jobs so tehy can earn their 3 cents a day."

                  lol

                  -NAFTA
                  -Automated machines/robots
                  -outsourcing and illegal immigrants

                      Hypocracy of democratic and republican political parties in general, democrats support pro-choice but are against captial punishment, republicans are pro-life but support captial punishment. This is just a general thing and is not true in all cases, but was true for the presidential election.
