    what makes this skit so amazing is that its making fun of how aspects of life that used to be deeply personal are commercialized and treated like commodities, in the darkest way possible. That's why friggin I love this movie. Underneath the comedy is a really sharp and brutal critique of modern society.

    "I think it's a bit early to start imposing roles on it don't you?". Only Chapman could come up with such a brilliant line. so ahead of his time.

      Actually, Graham Chapman is gay and is a strong supporter of gay rights.

    • @irEyERWO
      @irEyERWO 7 років тому +47

      Who said he did? People nowadays call anyone who wants to protect people's rights as SJW as if it were a bad thing. Maybe there are those who goes to extreme but not everyone is the same. I'm simply stating that Graham Chapman is an intelligent man and would not make fun of people who does their best to fight for equal rights when he has done that himself.
      What is absurd here is for you to look too much into a joke in a skit and to make-up a stand that Mr. Chapman would never be able to confirm nor deny since he's gone. I wonder what your thought process was for you to be able to come up with an argument which was completely off tangent. Gender Dysphoria and Disassociative Identity Disorder is an all too complicated subject for non-experts to understand. You can claim to be an expert, but you're on UA-cam reading and leaving comments, I automatically don't believe you.
      Now you can argue all you want but at this point I've already exerted all my energy in replying to a nonsense argument on UA-cam and I'm too lazy to argue back. Good Day!

    I'm probably not the only idiot to do this and I'm almost embarrassed to admit it now, but before my son was born many years ago now my wife and I were touring the women's medical center where he was to be born. At the end of the tour the administrator (I don't recall her title it probably wasn't administrator) asked my wife and I if we had any questions. I asked her, "Would it be possible to see the fetus frightening room?". She looked at me as if I was having some sort of mental episode. My wife elbowed me and said I was just kidding. I know it's stupid but I love The Meaning of Life. One of my favorites.

      Isn't it part of individualism to let individuals decide everything for themselves under their own responsibility and deal with the consequences afterwards? That would include their own identity, wouldn't it?
      Regarding what those consequences may be, depends on whether you are a humanist or an anti-humanist. Humanism values human agency above all else and suggests the (social) environment to adjust to the human rather than the human adjust to the environment. The opposite would be a totalitarian society that emphasizes assimilation.

    • @TheMrVengeance
      @TheMrVengeance 5 років тому +2

      @@blahblah63259 - Also there aren't "76 genders". Gender is a spectrum. You can be fully on one side, fully on the other. Anywhere in between, or not on the spectrum at all. Where you feel you belong can change over your lifetime, and according to changes in society and culture.
      And as Katzelle correctly points out, a true liberal would allow an individual their personal liberty to decide this for themselves. Whether they care about the social construct of gender, where they belong into it, or if they're comfortable just identifying solely on their sex.
      Wanting to tell other people what they can and cannot identify as, dictating what their gender is (as if that's even possible), isn't even remotely liberal. Hate it as much as you want, a true liberal IS a "sjw". Because respecting people's right to individual choice, to not be discriminated for what they identify as, what their sexual orientation is, or with what body parts or skin colour they were or weren't born is liberal. and apparently also what gets you labeled a "sjw".

I couldn't help myself from reciting the line and the consultant anaesthesiologist just cracked up. We were both around the same age so got it, but the other much younger medical staff were baffled. BTW a massive thank you to all the people at Middlesborough's James Cook University Hospital for the exceptional treatment I received.

Which is the Tories practice in selling hospitals and practices to private companies and then leasing them back so they can diminish the budget and spend less on healthcare.
