Topic: If abortion is legal (It's her body!), then so should prostitution (Still her body! I mean, right?!).

Take a position that higher education has become a giant Ponzi on the brink of collapse similar to sub prime mortgages because there are not enough truly qualified applicants to enter. Tell your classmates that half of them shouldn't be in college anyway and will gain nothing from their degrees.

It should stimulate an interesting debate.

Giving out condoms in schools
Clean needle exchange programs
Welfare to work programs
Fair tax act
Occupy movement
Sex education in school
Normalizing homosexuality
Teacher sex scandals male vs. female
End of life decisions and medically supervised suicide for the terminally ill (action item could be Advanced Care Directives; DNR)

Any of these topics, pick a side and run with it. Always couch your strengths in the other person's defense.

And have fun. Public speaking classes were some of my favorite classes. I nearly always picked something off the wall and it was never something someone else was considering.

Open with a question...

"What's the best Christmas movie ever made?"

Then say, "the answer is Die Hard."

Then persuade them as to why (should be easy).


I minored in speech, so I know what I'm talking about.
