Pursuasive Speech - help me choose a topic

[XTO]

a topic that you yourself is very well into is the most applicable one.
so i'm sure they're really in there just waiting for you to choose.

[leolop]

whatever topic you end up with, try to incorporate a short, catchy line that drives your point and you repeat several times during the speech. it's normally a good technique. parang comm II sa UP, ha.

Ok, what I'm thinking of, and what I might end up deciding my topic to be, "Stay in School". Hehehe, since isa yun sa mga strong perspectives ko for the past years...

Anybody have addition???

thanks!

here's one topic i would love people to be persuaded.....STOP CORPORAL PUNISHMENT!!!NO TO SPANKING!!! Break the cycle! Start with your own kid.

Here's one I think would really be controversial, "Phase Out All Jeepneys and Second Hand Buses" :starwars:

Arguments for would be:

1. Road and Passenger Safety
2. Fuel Efficiency of other modes (i.e. LRT/MRT)
3. Environmental concerns (pollutants from poorly-maintained PUV's)
4. Traffic Decongestion

Arguments against would be:

1. Inconvenience to commuters
2. Lost livelihood of operators, drivers and conductors
3. Lack of Space to Store or Dispose of Old PUVs.

Is winning a boxing match enough for someone like Pacquiao to achieve the status of a national hero? - taken from the monkey thread

the answer is [SIZE="7"]NO!!![/SIZE]

I get pissed to think that some Filipinos are actually little low lives to take that... Sports is sports, how the hell could someone be a natinal hero by just winning and being on top of his category... How come other countries who win numerous titles don't name a street after who represented them? [SIZE="6"]LAME!!![/SIZE]

but hey guys, I finally decided on a topic . . . [SIZE="2"]Debts or Alive![/SIZE] hahhaha
