Advocatus Diaboli



The devil's advocate. That's what I've been called. Do I adopt a position that I don't believe in just for the sake of the argument? Perhaps. I'm sure Nick would agree with that one though. Sometimes, I love playing the devil's advocate...just for the fun of it.

If anything though, Nick's archilles' heel in an argument is his short temper. He starts blowing off too soon and that spoils the fun of arguing (I would put it down as debating).

I've been having a bone to pick for the past week. What can I say, I suppose it all stemmed from talking behind people's back. It'd be nice if we could bury the hatchet but I think that some people do hold grudges. I, for one, do not so whenever you're ready to talk, I'm all ears.

Here's one thing though. I believe in cogitationis poenam nemo patitur -nobody should be punished for his/her thoughts. Unless he acts out the thought, then it would be malice aforethought; in which case, can be prosecuted.

In any case, I'm ready to hear when you're ready to speak.
