I hate unneccessarily long speeches. Why do people have the compulsion to speak longer than necessary?This is ironic since my background is MUN, and MUNers are prone to being long-winded (and snappy dressers).
At a Model UN event today, I got to hear university students from around the world talk about how awesome the UN, what a great experience the conference will be, and how in their country, this is a great opportunity.
Most people will probably find that awe inspiring, but I'm a jaded American, so I just wondered why these speeches were so long. I kept wanting to find a gavel and tell them their 2 minutes were up and they needed to yield to the chair.
Long speeches: the reason why the UN is ineffective.
This is excellent.
