Thanks for the ideas everyone. I got it now.

Speech requirements:
-Controversial subject. Subjects students have done are wolves, violence in video games, and sexual assault.
-The subject has to have an organization that represents the cause.
-7 to 8 minutes long, so it has to something that can be explained within that time limit.

It is for a college class, so the audience is college students.

Any ideas?

1. High school students?

[ZombieHorde]

2. Oh, sorry, audience is a good point. It is for a college class.

So my audience will be college students and the professor.

3. Selective Service - Should the draft be used to supply military recruits?

[ZombieHorde]

4. Interesting idea. nt

[rocktivity]

5. Would the Kardashian sisters and their fans count?

Explaining their popularity would certainly take 7 to 8 minutes!

7. Probably not, but thanks for the laugh. nt

[Quantess]

6. One Million Moms, because they suck.

PETA is pretty controversial.

[ZombieHorde]

8. Animal rights may be a good topic for me. nt

[Quantess]

11. PETA puts on some interesting stunts, too.

A lot you could talk about.

[Kali]

9. animal rights/pETA

10. Circumcision.

13. I'm tempted to use this just to see how many times I can use

the word "penis" in 8 minutes.

[In_The_Wind]

30. I can't reveal my sources.

[Xyzse]

32. Ah darn...

Can you tell me if it is a movie or show at least?

There are new post cards all of the time.

[rrneck]

12. There is of course

the NRA or the Brady campaign.

Grover Norquist's Club For Growth.
The Southern Baptist Convention or suchlike.
PETA might be interesting.
You might venture into wooville and look at chemtrails or Bilderbergers.
Loads of controversy surrounding porn.

[ZombieHorde]

14. Some good ideas.

I'll probably skip guns, since someone else is very likely to do it.

[olddots]

16. don't laugh canned food and sodium content

what is the backing from the sugar and salt industries in the food industries ? they would get to research in groups and feel like they're doing something for themselves.

[ZombieHorde]

17. Hmmm...that's different. nt

[RILib]

18. Israel/Palestine

[ZombieHorde]

19. Ooohhhh...do I dare? nt

[Quantess]

20. Scientology

Trepanning

Flat Earth Society

[nolabear]

21. NRA. And then run for the car!

[ZombieHorde]

[annabanana]

23. Corporate Personhood?

[ZombieHorde]

24. Not bad. nt

[riderinthestorm]

25. Well FEMEN is the conflict du jour in GD. They oppose sex slavery, patriarchy in religions and...

wait for it...


female exploitation in porn!

Now if THAT isn't perfect for a college class I don't know what is!

Besides which, they protest topless. What college class wouldn't love that?!

[ZombieHorde]

26. Good suggestion. On a side note,

I had the song Riders on the Storm in my head today as I drove home from the store. Your DU name is similar.

[riderinthestorm]

27. That's where I got it. Was listening to the great Doors song when I signed up

Since my profession is riding, I took a riff on it and made it singular. Of course the times were stormy with GW so that was a no-brainer.

Love that song.

[MrYikes]

28. eminent domain. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

31. Planned Parenthood or Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
