Persuasive Speech Ideas?

[jellyman223]

So I have to choose a topic for a persuasive speech by tomorrow and I have no idea what to talk about. I want something interesting and thought provoking but at the same time not boring or exclusive. I was thinking about "games are art" or "Piracy is good/bad" but I don't know how well it will go. So I need help, suggestions are most definitely appreciated!

I'd recommend something that the whole class/audience can connect to. Video games may be your specialty (or not, I can't say) but it may not be a good topic for the majority of your audience.

Shortcut- make people laugh once or twice through the would be presentation.
Often easier to pull off and just as effective in high school marking schemes.

I wrote an entire paper on why homebrew and piracy aren't bad.
Tons of shit out there for that.
Got 100% on it.
