    I will ship to one person on stars (only have stars)

    1. I would like a specific gambling controversy, that will be easy to gather up information on and give a speech on.

    The first person who list a good topic and maybe a couple sentences to a paragraph about the brief history and the status quo will get $5 shipped

    and go....

    the difference between a gambler and a gambling addict.

    define gambling. maybe talk about different types of gambling...talk about what makes someone and addict and what makes someone a gambler.

    give examples of someone famous a gambler/addict. talk about what they won/lost. talk about a gambling "high" or "rush".

    How do you know when enough is enough? Do you really need to lose everything before you realize that your whole life was a gamble?

    The MIT Blackjack Team would be an obvious choice. Besides "21," there was a great documentary about it that you can find on YouTube (discovery channel aired it, I think).

    Somewhat correlary to this: Gambling as portrayed in the Media. Specifically, in movies. Positive/negative, but ridiculously easy to research, as movies are documented so well and easily searchable, just using wikipedia if nothing else.
