Please, I’m completely at loss for ideas. My speech is asserting that the mother’s influence on you as a child doesn’t fade throughout your life. I’m 3rd speaker, so need a good beginning to wake up the audience and it needs to be relative to my main point. This is really important, so please answer (thumbs up for every answer). I pick best answer in 3 hours time. Thanks in advance for every answer.
Life, love and nurture…
Good start for a debate speech?? The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world?
Have you ever switched parties or changed who you were voting for based on a political debate?
Please note this is a general question – this is not an Obama/McCain debate here, so no ranting -
Yes . .. this election . . . I was watching the previous debate and trying to figure out which candidate was the lessor liar . . . and I thought how crazy am I . . . either way I’m picking a liar . . . so I’m voting third party this year for the first time ever.
When is the republican candidate debate going to be?

How should I write my Debate topic statement for speech class?
My topic for debate is Scientology.
My group has agreed that we all think Scientology is very silly and stupid, and we do not believe it should be considered as a religion.
We also know that the Church of Scientology has ruined lives and asks for money just to get a higher "ranking" or something like that.
My information may be a bit shaky or inaccurate as far as I know, so that’s where you guys come in.
If we’re against Scientology, which would be a good debate statement?
It has to be in this format
The (Name of Organization) should (Action)
thanks!
you could say something like…
Resolved, the organization known as The Church of Scientology should lose its status as a religion under US law, and its associated privileges under the US tax code.
What’s a good and CREATIVE high school debate topic?

The HPV shot should be mandatory for all girls entering middle school.

Soda should/should not be eliminated in schools.
Videogames are too violent for children.

Will the Vice Presidential debate be a repeat of the Friday night slaughter?
Obama literally has chunks of John McCain in his stool. McCain was WEAK.
And McCain is smarter and more experienced than Sarah Palin. As stupid as Palin is, what can we expect from the Vice Presidential debate?
Will the Republicans have to CHEAT their way into the White house for the 3rd time?
Biden’s strategy should simply be to KEEP IS MOUTH SHUT. Sarah is so amusing when she tries to speak. God Bless Her, but she is rather hopeless.
How good or bad doe an A- in debate freshman year look on your transcript?
It would be nice if you could answer from past experiences, especially if you have taken or take debate.
Hi there,
First of all, welcome to the debate community. Good to have you.
Now, most colleges feel that debate is an extra-curricular subject, and therefore, don’t care about it that much. However, having a bad grade in any class can and will hurt your grade. Fortunately for you, and A- is an exceptional grade.
Good luck,
Technobill
How do you feel now that the debates will be held tomorrow night?
How did John McCain get everything worked out so he can attend the debates tomorrow night? Whatever his reason for reconsidering, I’m happy to hear that he’s chosen to do the right thing. Your opinion?
I’m happy too. McCain will get owned by Obama. Obama is very bright and will expose McCain’s ignorance and lack of knowledge tomorrow night. McCain’s isn’t bright enough to answer most of the questions.
I do have a feeling that when McCain get’s back into the corner he’ll go with his old stand by’s and start telling war stories, bring up 9/11 and refer to his patriotism(like he’s more patriotic than Obama, which we all know isn’t true).
What are the 5 best Debate Topics?
Hey, so for my writing class I need to have picked a debate topic by February 4, 2009. So what would be the best 5 debate topics that would have enough information to write an essay about?
abortion – legality
gay marriage – is banning it essentially creating a theocracy? [it's religious views that would stop it from being true, and we are supposed to have a separation of church and state]
censorship – journalists are barred from reporting in many areas of Iraq. Is this the government trying to keep the army safe by stopping sensitive details from getting out, or censorship because they are violating the first amendment and could be doing illegal things
Genetically modified foods – is it safe to have g.m foods so widely spread? what if it helps end hunger?
PETA – Their ads and techniques for garnering attention are generally very sexist. Are members of PETA degrading women in attempts to help animals? Is this ethical?
