    Hey all,

    I have to give a persuasive speech in my speech class. which topic should i choose? take the poll and then post why you think that. the speech must be 6-10 mintues long, but i cannot use conventional powerpoints w/ words. but i can use pictures.

    I think it'd just be easier to argue that rally is the ultimate racing sport

    I don't think most of the general public knows much about rally, that is if they have even heard of it at all. I would love to show how rally drivers have to be the best in the world because of the different driving conditions that all the rallies take place in. In other motorsports it is generally on ONE type of surface and ONE driving condition and very rarely on TWO types driving conditions i.e. it rained.

    That is why I would do it on rally.

    "rally is the best sport in the world. because unlike drag racing, golf, and nascar, it never gets rained out."

    Go with Rally,

    You can compare it to other motorsports.

    You can compare technology of those cars compared to others.


    rally topics:
    -Driving in every condtition
    -speed
    -endurance
    -cornering
    -more dangers.. trees, cliffs, rocks, "mooses"

    all this stuff 2.5~RS said

    Can you pop in a video of rally racing? That would be sweet and take up some time :)

    another vote for rally... for sake of yr grade.

    I did something like this except it was arguing why every physically capable driver should have to drive manual... too broad and too many exceptions = hard to argue in a short amount of time = B+ grade.
    The "everyone should drive a suby" arguement could get really funny and creative tho!

    RALLY, it seems like a more broad topic so there are many directions you could take the speech without backing yourself into a corner. I also think it would also be more interesting from a listeners point of view. GOOD LUCK!

    If you can add in a short visual 3 min of rally racing it'll be all the persuasion you need. Or blown up pics of the cars in the air and on fire etc.

    (I am aware I am not supposed to start a sentence with Or Grammer Nazis)

    There are a few nasioc threads on exactly this same topic. Some of them are funny... mostly becuase the kid doing the speech is retardedly unintelligent.
