[livejournal.com profile] dotgirl and [livejournal.com profile] khristle already know this the hard way, and I just taught it to [livejournal.com profile] lithiate and realized by the end that I need to let EVERYONE on my Friends List know about it before it's too late.

I am THE Devil's Advocate. Most times I will do it just to piss you off, but most of the time I do it out of boredom and/or the desire to entertain you. Nothing gets the ol' heart pumping better than an argument with some idiot who is spouting misinformation!

Sometimes I feel just like Rush Limbaugh when I do it :)

See, what I like to do is take just a *tiny bit* of the truth, then enlarge it with emotion and falsehoods till there is no way around me.

My favorite tools are Prejudice and Racism. THESE are the weapons that most of my opponants fear the most! Whenever I get stumped for what to say next, I'll usually slip in something like "I'll bet HITLER would have said the exat same thing". It really throws people off their game!

Anyway, consider yourselves *warned*.

*Sigh*. Thanks for the forewarning, babe. Anyway, I'm not pissed off about it... I've taken a nap and am feeling Much Better Now™.

;P

Sorry you had to learn the hard way too! But Im always amused to see him get people riled up, especially if I know that he actually agrees with the person but just wants to argue.

It's ok if you want to kick him. In fact, you can always mail me and I'll drive to his house and kick him. He often needs kicking, and even when he doesn't, it doesn't hurt to keep him on his toes.

(Brian - We have Britt this weekend, so I expect I'll see you. When I do, please remind me to kick you. Thank you!)

Yeah, but once you mention Hitler, it's all over. You gotta make that your last resort.

Naaaah, it's only the beginning! Start replying to all theri arguments with "Jah Wohl, Mein Fuhrer!"

Other dictators/fascists work as well. Communism is a great red herring!

No - not now. Too impersonal. Too on-demand. But i WILL strike. OH YES, i *will* strike. And when I do, you won't know if I'm serious or if I'm just playing. For such is the way of... THE DEVILS ADVOCATE!

Damn, i could have been a 1940's Radio Drama!
