Hi my speech is on genetic modification. Can you guys look at it and tell me if you like it or not so far? It is not finished. and thanks or your time 
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Have you ever dreamt of having a child who looks like Harry Potter? Well it is no longer considered magic but it is very much in the face of reality. Yes you can make you child look like Batman or superman and they could break through metal walls and flying with X-ray vision and saving the world from destruction. OK maybe not that far but you get what I mean. Yes this ‘magic’ is called Genetic modification or genetic engineering. It is possible to make your children look like Tom Cruise; Genetic Modification goes so far that scientists say that they can give a brain which is as smart as Albert Einstein. Can you believe it; you can have someone who looks like Paris Hilton with the brain of Einstein! You are probably thinking that this is too good to be true and that I am probably lying but let me explain to you what Genetic Modification is and the many advantages it brings along with the many problems it may create in the future.
Genetic Modification! The name says it all, it a bit like cloning except for some difference. With cloning you can make someone look identical to their parents. But Genetic Modification can change the characteristics of a living organism or you can even remove bad genes which run in the family, for example cancer, heart disease and eye-sight problems. Plants and animals can be given characteristics. To do this they change the DNA in the nucleus of the cell. If they want to put in a specific gene, the use a gene gun, it fires microscopic bullets; no these are not life-threatening bullets coated with gunpowder but ones coated in foreign DNA into a plant or embryo, embryo is just another fancy name for a fertilized egg. The foreign DNA combines with the host’s DNA and alters the host’s genetic make-up.
Simple, isn’t it? This technology allows us to physically change the appearance or any genes of a plant or animal. It brings with it many advantages. Genetic Modification is becoming very popular in plants and mainly is aimed at crop production. Using genetic modification they can improve the quality of the crops like flavour, appearance and nutritional value. They can also increase the tolerance of the crops, like less need for water. Genetic modification food supporters say that Genetic engineering is essential in feeding the worlds population. The reasons for this is that in countries where the soil is poor using GM they can make the crops grow in those conditions and can make summer crops grow in winter.
Yes lol i know it is not as simple as that but it is a 5min speech and i cant really explain everything about how it works. And thanks the first answer, i can use your info in my speech, it will really help me

Bad Day
Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky’s faded to grey
They tell me your passion’s gone away
And I don’t need no carrying on
Stand in the line just ahead of the law
You’re faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life’s been way off line
You’re falling to pieces every time
And I don’t need no carrying on
Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don’t need no carrying on
You had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don’t lie
You’re coming back down and you really don’t mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that Strong
Well I’m not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Thanks for that very insightful answer Stef…you really know how to answer ‘em. If you plan on being a sarcastic jerk, no need to answer.
Thank you mikbrik1 for actually giving a REAL, thoughtful answer. I’m glad someone is using this site for its intended purpose.

I’ve been working it through in my head for years now… I’m a reasonable person, I don’t believe in any religion or after life. I quite like the idea of being accountable for my own life.
I always feel incomplete. It occurs to me that anything I do gives me momentary satisfaction and nothing fulfilling. I’ve turned to art but its a lonely occupation and as soon as I’ve made a project it loses me. The magic is gone instantly and I search again.
I’ve never met a woman who I found really got me, or who made me feel like I wanted to have anything more from. People to me are simple. They don’t surprise me or leap out. What’s more I just see a society that is geared entirely around money…
My Dad passed from a heart attack about five years ago and ever since then every morning I wake up and I try to find a way to make the day memorable but… I’m just ash. I walk, I talk but I just want peace.
I see trees and rocks and leaves which according to my beliefs is what I’ll become, just a part of everything else. I just feel unendingly empty…
I feel like I’m avoiding women so that I don’t waste my time here. I feel like I’m making art to get whatever it was that was in my mind out there and have some sense of lasting feeling of achievement. I’m in my twenties and I feel like I’m going to die soon.
I wake up and I think, when.
Is the whole point of life to get whatever you want to do out of your system so you’re just ready to die?

I have about 2-3 lucid dreams a year sometimes more if im lucky, and I have a few questions for you. When I realize I am in a dream, how come sometimes I can control the dream and sometimes I can’t.
How come sometimes I can only control my character and sometimes I can control all my characters?
How come I can’t change the dream completly. If im breaking windows in a house and swearing, I have to work with what I got, I can’t switch it to like haveing a sexual dream. Sometimes I can make a female appear and have fun with her, but not always. If im robbing a bank, I can’t change to jumping of buildings?
How come I can’t always make things appear or use magic in my dream?
How come controlling my characters requires more work of my mind then saying things in my dream?
I can I have more lucid dreams?
Do the lucid dream pills really work, and are they safe?
When I am lucid it requires a lot of work not to wake up, sometimes I do though, any suggestions?

The Blue Smoke Theory states that electronic components work, not by the motion of charged particles across energy barriers, but by magic blue smoke which is contained in them.
While nobody has ever seen an electron, and it is preposterous even to suggest that a hole could ever move anywhere, there have been many observed instances where blue smoke has escaped from an electronic device — which then ceased to work.
Many people in the field of electronics, including the majority of Microsoft-certified systems engineers, are abandoning traditional ideas concerning charged particles in favour of the Blue Smoke theory.
Shouldn’t both theories be given equal time in the classroom, in order for students to make up their own minds as to which one is better?
