I think that totally depends on the content of the speech. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:20 12
- I don't know that it does. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 18, 07:23 11
  - an academic/historic speech is completely different form a sermon, for instance. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:24 10
    - Though we don't get the whole speech, it sounds more than just factual/informative. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 18, 07:26 9
      - it's completely appropriate to quote the bible for academic purposes. we don't have near enough information - loosilu Feb 18, 07:27 8
        
        I have enough info to know I wouldn't want to be sitting in that calss as another student listening to it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 18, 07:28 7
        
        I didn't want to listen to chemistry lectures 80% of the time. ;P -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:29
        
        I sat through many speeches in speech class that I didn't want to sit through. You deal with it. - ty97 Feb 18, 07:29 5
        
        it's life. there is no right to be protected from opinions you don't like. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:30
        
        or to word differently: what you want to (or want not to) hear shouldn't decide other students' speech topics. -- nm - ty97 Feb 18, 07:30 3
        
        It's likely a required class (speech classes often are) that I *have* to take then I damn well shouldn't have to sit through topics I find offensive. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 18, 07:32 1
        
        wow. -- nm - loosilu Feb 18, 07:33
        
        Besides, in a speech class, shouldn't content be irrelevant? Wouldn't it be more about form and presentation? -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 07:31
