I have to write a mini research paper in my english class and I need to come up with a controversial topic to write about. I don't want it to be like the death penalty, gun control, gay marriage, abortion, etc because a lot of those topics I can go both ways and it's just too big of a topic. So if anyone has some ideas I could use that would be great.

Speed cameras
Black people
Youth in Asia

When we give you topics to write about you're then going to ask us what our views on those topics are, aren't you?

If that's the case, instead of copying all of our responses just print out a screenshot and hand that in to your teacher.

Sure I guess it wouldn't hurt to hear your views to see other viewpoints I could use in my paper, but no I have to write everything myself....

With you being a wanker I would've thought you'd know that there is such a thing.

Hmm.....strange.

It's more fun to try and create controversy out of something socially accepted. I decided to write about why Santa Claus is a plague on our society.

You have to be careful with that though, because if you argue it poorly then you just come off as immature and dickish.

whoa actually fat people would be a good one.

e.g. why is watching fat people set themselves on fire so funny?
