CONTROVERSIAL ESSSAY IDEAS

So for my AP English class, we have to write a short persuasive essay on any controversial issue that we want.  I have 3 "final" ideas:

Marijuana Legalization

Lowering drinking age

Burton Love Snowboards

Are they good, bad, other topics would be better?  I know that the first two have been written about so many times, but nobody in my class picked them, and I believe that they would be farily easy.  The burton one I have kind of thrown out because burton gave me a shitty response to my e-mail, not answering any of my questions and telling me nothing that I didn't already know.  Any input on the topics would be very appreciated.  Also, I rememeber reading about a movie about marijuana, but couldn't find it.  Does anybody know where it is.  Any other ideas would be great.  Thanks

And I did searchbar but really couldn't find what I wanted, and I kinda want to get new ideas on these issues.

wow your such a claiming douche! stop being a dick and claiming the shit out of your intellegence... who gives a fuck! maybe you do win at this ultimate duel of wits ( because the other guy did not care to confront you) you still lose at life. how cool are you telling people how much smarter and more educated you are OVER THE INTERNET. stop claiming and shut the fuck up unless you have something productive to say, or else go write a wikipedia page on the subject or something if your so smart.

Thank you, before I read this response, I was about to call you out on that cancer comment.  I survived leukemia, a cancer of the blood.  Please don't joke about that sort of stuff.  A better controversial topic about cancer would be alternative cures for cancer.  That aside, you are right, I didn't want to confront the guy.  It's impossible to have an intelligent conversation when it turns into a one sided name calling tournament.

write about how hitler was benificial for germany in the 1930s. use topics such as how he united his country as well as bringing germany out of the great depression.

P.S. i am not a nazi, i just think that its a good topic
