Then leave.
I have a speech.
It goes as followed and is best used in cities which has lots of foreign folks clogging the streets.
"You're all fuckers.
Why don't you all piss off?
Your problem is you're all foreigners.
Bye."
(It's an Eddie Izzard quote for any TH89's out there getting butthurt)
This could go somewhere very good.

I'm thoroughly excited for this thread. I wrote about my love for public speaking in a college essay, and I plan to make a living out of persuasion.

What career do you plan on using this persuasion for?

I disagree with you.
...ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense! Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
The best speech of all time
The only thing good about Obama is the quality of his speeches.
Too bad he cannot live up to them.

Haven't decided yet. I'd like to go to law school, so possibly an attorney. I might also try being a lobbyist.
This would work better in the Creationism Corner.
Ahh, cool. Good luck man.

Well we give speeches in my school for JROTC, but other then that just a fan.
I'm a member of the NFL. I do impromptu and international extemporaneous speeches. I also do public forum debate judging. Yeah speech is cool, but in all honesty is scary as hell when you don't know what you're talking about. So I do massive research on International Headlines.
Hitler has some AMAZING speeches, if you listen to them in German. They out do Martin Luther Kings speeches by a fucking mile.

[quote=Adolf Hitler]IT SEEMS strange to me that a man who, as a soldier, was for six years accustomed to blind obedience, should suddenly come into conflict with the State and its Constitution. The reasons for this stem from the days of my youth. When I was seventeen I came to Vienna, and there I learned to study and observe three important problems: the social question, the race problem, and, finally, the Marxist movement. I left Vienna a confirmed anti-Semite, a deadly foe of the whole Marxist world outlook, and pan-German in my political principles. And since I knew that the German destiny of German-Austria would not be fought out in the Austrian Army alone, but in the German and Austrian Army, I enlisted in the German Army....
When, on November 7, [1918] it was announced that the Revolution had broken out in Munich, I at first could not believe it. At that time there arose in me the determination to devote myself to politics. I went through the period of the Soviets, and as a result of my opposition to them I came in contact with the National Socialist German Workers Movement, which at that time numbered six members. I was the seventh. I attached myself to this party, and not to one of the great political parties where my prospects would have been better, because none of the other parties understood or even recognized the decisive, fundamental problem.
By Marxism I understand a doctrine which in principle rejects the idea of the worth of personality, which replaces individual energy by the masses and thereby works the destruction of our whole cultural life. This movement has utilized monstrously effective methods and exercised tremendous influence on the masses, which in the course of three or four decades could have no other result than that the individual has become his own brother's foe, while at the same time calling a Frenchman, an Englishman, or a Zulu his brother. This movement is distinguished by incredible terror, which is based on a knowledge of mass psychology....
The German Revolution is a revolution, and therefore successful high treason; it is well known that such treason is never punished....
For us it was a filthy crime against the German people, a stab in the back of the German nation. The middle class could not take up arms against it because the middle class did not understand the whole revolution. It was necessary to start a new struggle and to incite against the Marxist despoilers of the people who did not even belong to the German race - which is where the Marxist problem is linked with the race problem, forming one of the most difficult and profound questions of our time....
Personally, at the beginning I held a lost position. Nevertheless, in the course of a few years there has grown from a little band of six men a movement which today embraces millions and which, above all, has once made the broad masses nationalistic....
In 1923 came the great and bitter scandal. As early as 1922 we had seen that the Ruhr was about to be lost. France's aim was not merely to weaken Germany, to keep her from obtaining supremacy, but to break her up into small states so that she [France] would be able to hold the Rhine frontier. After all the Government's reiterations of our weakness, we knew that on top of the Saar and Upper Silesia we would lose our third coal region, the Ruhr; each loss brought on the next one....
Only burning, ruthless, brutal fanaticism could have saved the situation. The Reich Government should have let the hundreds of thousands of young men who were pouring out of the Ruhr into the Reich under the old colors of black-white-red flow together in a mighty national wave. Instead, these young people were sent back home. The resistance that was organized was for wages; the national resistance was degraded to a paid general strike. It was forgotten that a foe like France cannot be prayed away, still less can he be idled away....
Our youth has - and may this be heard in Paris - but one thought: that the day may come when we shall again be free. .. . . My attitude is this: I would rather that Germany go Bolshevist and I be hanged than that she should be destroyed by the French rule of the sword.... It turned out that the back-stabbers were stronger than ever.... With pride I admit that our men were the only ones to really resist in the Ruhr. We intended to hold fourteen meetings and introduce a propaganda campaign throughout Germany with the slogan: DOWN WITH THE RUHR TRAITORS!, But we were surprised by the banning of these mass meetings. I had met Herr von Kahr in 1920. Kahr had impressed me as being an honest official. I asked him why the fourteen mass meetings had been banned. The reason he gave me simply would not hold water. THE REAL REASON WAS SOMETHING THAT COULD NOT BE REVEALED. . - -
From the very first day the watchword was: UNLIMITED STRUGGLE AGAINST BERLIN....
The struggle against Berlin, as Dr. von Kahr would lead it, is a crime; one must have the courage to be logical and see that the struggle must be incorporated in the German national uprising. I said that all that had been made of this struggle was a Bavarian rejection of Berlin's requests. But the people expected something other than a reduction in the price of beer, regulation of the price of milk and confiscation of butter tubs and other such impossible economic proposals - proposals which make you want to ask: who is the genius that is advising them? Every failure could only further enrage the masses, and I pointed out that while the people were now only laughing at Kahr's measures, later on they would rise up against them. I said: 'Either you finish the job - and there is only the political and military struggle left. When you cross the Rubicon, you must march on Rome. Or else you do not want to struggle; then only capitulation is left....'
The struggle had to turn toward the North; it could not be led by a purely Bavarian organization . . . I said: 'The only man to head it is Ludendorff.'[/quote]

[quote] I want you to think about this: the only reason any of you all believe in god is because thats how your parents raised you so, now: If you were raised to be a satanist,atheist, Buddhist and/or Muslim you would be one of those wouldn't you? the only reason religion exists at all today is because previous generation's influenced the future generation's religious beliefs so think am I a Christian (or atheist, satanist, Buddhist, or Muslim) because I want to be? or was that what was imprinted on my mind at a time in my life when i was the most easy influenced? think for yourself question everything [/quote]

[quote] it is absolutly impossible to fully map the contours of a humans mind you cannot completly discover another human beings way of thinking hence everybody is different in their own way people can(and will) be hateful, cruel, nice, selfish, greedy, selfless, good or evil. it depends on the pattern of thought when you think and see things the way i do you analyze everything you notice things most people don't a posture, or a facial expression, a pause in conversation, a retracted statement, a hesitation. you gain the ability to partially decode what a reaction to what you say will be....i'll continue this[/quote]
these are all written and thought of by me completely original it is on my facebook notes
