Newcomer's Topis?

**WrittenSound** · 07-02-2010, 03:53 PM

Last year I did poetry and did alright for my first year in debate, and now I'm thinking about adding OO but I dont know which of the topics I've come up with to choose. Help me out?
My topics are:
Prostitution: Body, Mind, Soul? - I'll talk about how people sell themselves out for benefits that they're offered.
Charity - Are we paying for our cause, or are we paying for infrastructure?
Obesity: Acceptance vs. Change - kind of obvious dont you think? Are we changing the obesity rate in America or are we letting it happen, or worse, encouraging it?
Prohibiting Individuality - Everyone is different, and school systems not allowing certain colors of hair dye with the argument that it is a distraction may one day lead to school's banning people of outstanding height or weight because they attract attention while students should be focused on school work.
Veghead Meets Reality - How healthy/cost efficient is a vegetarian teen's lifestyle compared to an omnivorous teen's? (I'm a vegetarian and I need this info eventually anyways haha)
The "But" Complex - People in America have the idea that the government controls them, and think with the mentality "I know this is wrong, but what can I do about it?" A revolution isn't like a ripe apple that will fall on it's own. You have to make it fall.
Teen Angst - Teen anxiety and depression and how it has evolved since 1960.

I like the "But" complex idea the best. It seems the most original and least confusing. Seems like a good one

Thanks! I'll write out The "But" Complex and see how I like it for now

I like the idea, but I'll need to figure out how I would back up my opinions haha

And Drama411, thank you for the suggestion but I could barely understand you. I'd like for you to type out your words into grammatically correct sentences because otherwise I'll just ignore you. Thanks.

Anytime! I'm writing an OO right now too so I know exactly how you feel. It involves scrapping entire subpoints at times....*sigh. But good luck!

first off-lol.
second off- i think it works better to write something out, and then add facts, because that makes it so much more personal. so definatly write out your opinions, and then slash and burn from there haha. good luck!
