I suspect that people laugh at some of it or abhor a lot of it but confrontation manifests itself best when backed up by a lot of other gauche people - like the screamers at Town Hall Meetings.Will they get their way?, perhaps. Will children die of Swine flu because they can't go to the Dr.? Yes. Is that right? To me, no. But, the majority wins.Final answer, Regis, If raping babies is funny, or peeing on them is funny, be scared, very scared. I respect the right to publish, say or write almost anything.

Will they get their way?, perhaps. Will children die of Swine flu because they can’t go to the Dr.? Yes. Is that right? To me, no. But, the majority wins.

Final answer, Regis, If raping babies is funny, or peeing on them is funny, be scared, very scared.

Normal is whatever we become as a group. A different way to ask the question is - are we alienating ourselves from humanity? That answer is yes. Isolating ourselves from the diversity of the world turns us into myopic moonbats who are able to see our own, and our tribes, perspective. With no diverse input to challenge us we digress into the world of Jeffrey Goines. Remember, McMurphy was a positive influence until Nurse Ratched removed the diversity of his opinion.

Then it got funny again towards the end.The reason it's funny, though, is what matters. Specifically because as sane people, we know that this advocates entirely antisocial, unacceptable behaviour. Our paradigm and basic assumption is to behave properly, and this offers the unexpected, in advocating all these nutty behaviours.Kinda like 'series' jokes:Britain's given us a number of wonderful things that lift the human spirit. Soccer, Shakespeare, the Spice Girls... That was pretty funny, until it started getting repetitive around 2:30. Then it got funny again towards the end.

When I was a feisty, young upstart (late 70s) it was dead baby jokes. In the 80s, it was leprosy jokes. Even back in the 1950s, after cannibal killer Ed Gein was arrested, his town in Wisconsin made a rash a cannibalism jokes.The idea is, some things are so awful in life, so hard to comprehend, that the only way to deal with them is to make grim jokes and laugh at them.
