Everyone has heard of the Devil's Advocate - publish your opinion on just about any subject and respond to other opinions in an effort to start a dialogue and share ideas. Opinions published do not necessarily have to be what you BELIEVE IN, but may just be posted to spark conversation - hence the term: Devil's Advocate. Each opinion, however, should be treated with respect even if you disagree with it. Caution: Racism, Nastiness, and Rants without a point are not encouraged.
