Re: Catholic church at it again. This time Holland.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Oh I don't think it's himself he's parodying, however I agree, when he's on form he can be very funny. I assume the intent is that of satirical reflection but if he's genuinely serious (which I have never been given any reason to assume) then the joke is even funnier.amused wrote:Seth is a parody of himself.
His own words are the worst advertisement for his own views.
When viewed with that squint, he's very funny.
And I'm afraid watching people getting their panties in a bunch with him almost on cue is even funnier and has been for years.

Actually, personalities aside, I would be happy to see more Seth's here. This community lacks diversity. Though I haven't visited enough forums to actually compare it to other comparable forums.
