Title: Need some help with a school project about OIF
Post by: Selino631 on November 16, 2009, 12:18:49 PM
In my 12th grade english class i have to write a report and debate why it is good and bad that we went into Iraq. I'd appreciate it if you guys could post some reasons you believe about this topic.


This is a real question, My assignment is to get information about why its good we went in and not.

 :rofl  Good bait. 

If this is a legitimate request, kind of defeats the purpose of learning how to debate if you simply ask for others' opinions does it not?

Go do some research before this gets locked.    :rolleyes:

I agree. Since war and politics goes hand in hand this thread is doomed. Simply put in some reading time and develope your own opinions. Write them down. Now go back and read them with the eye of someone who might disagree. Decide why they might disagree and why. Write that down too.

Now take all that and put in the order your teacher requires and use that as your project.

Isn't that the Purpose of School? Apply what you've learned, Unless you like other people to do your Classwork.

Ehh, wasn't sure what the intention of the thread originally was.  Now I see it was an actual request, and redact that statement.  Either way, good luck with your project.  I'd strongly encourage you to make it yours

From what I can tell, he is just asking for opinions.  It is a report (which he can and should research on his own), but also a debate.  I believe what he is asking for is opposing opinions because it seems that he has to show pro AND con reasons.

Unfortunately Selino, you won't get much more than a pissing contest which will ultimately become a locked thread.

Good luck.  :aok

You have to say it's much better than what the media reports.

One of the main reasons for school is to teach you how to think for yourself.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure to TRIPLE CHECK your facts from MULTIPLE SOURCES! There is so much false information on the internet, you wouldn't believe.

...and DONT USE WIKIPEDIA!!  :mad:

Hell I would have asked the teacher for another topic and if I couldn't get one, I think it would be worth taking a 0.  That topic is such a hot button to cause angry feelings.

Well...

No, we came into war for nothing but oil, we didn't stop the hijacking of the 9/11 attacks, no jets were ordered to fire and they have evidence the vice president with held the order, only 4 aircraft were launched to "control" the situation.

^^^ Don't ask, found this somewhere on google, thought it would help. :D

YOU-TUBE is good for debates! Just type in Iraq and watch a video, read the comments because people are always post something about the war and fighting with each other. Although alot of the things they say are just stupid, but hey its their opinion.
