1. Why do they do it?\n2. Aren't there better jobs?\n3. How does this affect the level of STDs in the country/place.\n\nJust have her answer those questions, and it'll be an uber-spiffeh essay. I wish her the best of luck.

Just an idea, you could start out with "Do any of you know the true effects of television and the internet of the youth of today. Then start to explain what you think or know. Good Luck Hope this is what you are looking for.

It is not a federal issue.  It is up to the states to make prostitution legal or not.  That is inherently a matter of state law.  Nevada is the only state that I am aware of that has decriminalized prostitution in all but Clark County (Las Vegas).  It is still highly regulated for the safety of the customers.  Now that they're legal, the brothels have to pay taxes and comply with health requirements like latex condoms every time.  One brothel (Mustang Ranch, I think) was seized by the IRS because they did not accurately report their income.  So there are some detriments to being legal.

Option 1: take a controversial topic and defend one side. (like abortion, immigration, national security, homosexuality, etc.)\n\nOption 2: take a ridiculous topic and defend one side (like "the sky is purple" "people should eat elephants" "convicts should eat each other" "Canada should annex Zimbabwe" etc"\n\nOption 3: take a mediocre topic and talk about it (like "people are good" "I should have an A on this presentation" etc.)

Is surrogate parenting a good idea?\n2. Is there a truly such a thing as Christian "Rock"\n3.  Illegal immigration, do we send them back?\n4. Why are we in Iraq?\n5.  Child abuse or Biblical "Spare the Rod"\n6.  Is Cosmetic Surgery a Sin?\n7. Overseas Adoptions, should we stay in America for our  Babies?\n8.  Interracial Dating, who does it benefit?\n9. Cloning, How many more of YOU can we stand?\nJust ideas. Hope they help!

Are you into iPods or other mp3 players?  Talk about DRM and whether or not companies should have the right to restrict what you can do with music that -you- have purchased.\n\nHmm ... or how about net neutrality ... school dress codes ... how about whether game players should buy a Nintendo Wii or a PS3 (if your speech teacher is nice enough to let you talk about something like that =), or whether or not games like 'Bully' or 'GTA' should be permitted ... talk about whether or not certain games (like *wince* dodgeball) should be banned in gym classes ... persuade people to adopt a pet from the pound rather than buying one from a breeder, or speak about whether or not sports like greyhound racing are okay ... persuade people to watch less TV (or heck, persuade 'em that they should all tune in and watch your favorite show) ... if there's a club you're in or a 'cause' in which you're particularly interested, talk about why other people should get involved with it too ...\n\nHmm, well, there are a few off the top of my head ... honestly, my biggest suggestion would be to pick something you're personally interested in - it makes -such- an immense difference, people tend to sound so much more interested (and thus to -be- more interesting!) when they're speaking about something they actually care about.  Good luck to ya =)

You could argue for or against globilization and look at how big companies affect things. Or you could use a topic I did, arguing for or against violence in video games and whether or not it affects childrens personalities, there's tons of great oppinions on this topic so this is the one I recomend.

Constitutional issues -- first, conduct versus speech.\nIs the rock concert conduct, or is it a form of expression?\n\nSame question for the drug use. Also, with the drug use, add in the question of neutral criminal laws regulating the conduct, versus laws that limit the expression intended by that conduct.\n\nAlso look at forum selection issues, prior restraint issues, the secondary effects doctrine, etc. If your class didn't cover any of these, you can ignore them -- or impress your teacher by researching them.

There a lots of great ways to start this paper.  If I were writing it, I would probably start out with some interesting statistics and maybe even tell the story of Governor George Ryan (IL) commuting all the death sentences in Illinois before he left office a few years ago.  Or you could open with a couple of stories on both sides of the argument.  Good luck writing this.

Let me see if I have this right...\n\nYou want to address the complicated moral, ethical, and legal issues of illegal immigration, but you don't even have the intellectual wherewithal to handle a simple, hum-drum, run-of-the-mill, garden-variety social crime?  WOW!...\n\nMy apologies,... but it did catch me somewhat off-guard...;)\n\np.s.  jmdavis333, My answer was a little harsh, I admit that, but at least it made a point.  Your answer, however, is just mean-spirited.  She's already fighting an uphill battle on her  'immigration' rants as it is so please, as a matter of fairness and civility, either make a point with your posts or don't post at all.
