Persuasive Essay Help!

So today I have to outline a persuasive essay for English class, and I need some help

I'm looking for a good topic, something synonymous to these:

Chernobyl Disaster
Disasters in general -with someone to blame of course-
Conspiracies (Like 9/11, Watergate, etc.)
TSA violating the amendments. (LULZ.)
Mason/Illuminati conspiracies?

Any other suggestions?

Remember:
I must be able to get five full pages & and outline done by tomorrow (Outline tomorrow, essay is due next week)

So overall:
I'm really just looking for a good topic. And maybe some of you could link me to some good articles to read up on whatever you suggest or something I listed?

[quote=celinemariebby]Perhaps do your stand on the ever controversial Capital Punishment (death penalty)?
It seems to always be a topic about which people feel strongly about. Controversial topics always make for a great persuasive essay.
Best of luck![/quote]

Thanks! I did something about the Death Penalty in 7th grade. I don't think I'll be able to stretch my opinion over 5 pages.

[quote=ifeelgreat00]what about the moon landing conspiracy?[/quote]

oh yeaah! I forgot about that I'll definitely keep that in mind. I have a few hours before I get knocked out from this tea I've been drinking so I'll start writing soon.

Uhhh, do you have any articles to link me too?

LOL. I'm black. I'm sure it's harder for me due to....stereotypes & the oh-so expected behavior. -sigh-

Sounds good @PyreFang. I'm going to start narrowing down my choices.

I'll check out the mining suggestion, thanks.

and @LeechLess I'll need a topic people could have a debate about though. So like, something a bit more specific? Thanks.

Illuminati bro.
Controlling mainstream artists one at a time.

Seriously though, pick Illuminati. There's lots of stuff you can do to talk about it
