What are your thoughts about this video? Do you think the inherent nature of people has changed much since it was made? Are people a lot smarter now?

In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder.

Why not look for videos about other inferior or sick mentalities such as women, Jews, Muslims (just watch TV), non-whites and communists

What's a disorder and what's not is based purely on current social norms. It is evident that, though there are still homophobic people around today, the general social attitude towards gay people is now a lot more accepting than it was a few decades ago, so now it's not a disorder anymore.

If society somehow decided that stepping on leaves was immoral (silly example, but you get my point), that'd be classed as a disorder too.

As for the old propaganda video, those things are always stupid. My favourite, in terms of hilarity, is this one (I won't embed it since hyperlexian got maaaaaad last time I did so).

That one is good, its length is good, the same as many comedy shows

It is a comedy show really :P

As I was looking for it, though, I found a parody which I prefer:

The best bit about the communist thing is he's saying that about the same people who run the big industry that, as he keeps pointing out, makes so much profit :lol:

The full video does get a bit graphic at times, though, I warn you!
