"Morons", and other words like that, have been the subject of a couple of threads just recently.

Here's a dictionary definition of the word: "A term used by American psychologists and criminologists of children and of adult persons of feeble, undeveloped or degenerate mind or character."

Which in my view is a disgusting definition and makes this a disgusting word to use in any context. For a couple of stories about people whom the aforesaid "American psychologists and criminologists" would no doubt have called "morons", click here.

And I suppose that's thread drift, if you like, but I think this thread could do with a bit of thread drift. As JPRameau says, we really aren't going to get anywhere with this.

But as for why it keeps on coming up, it seems to come up up every time there's another gun massacre in a school in America, which seems to happen pretty frequently. Wouldn't it be great if that stopped happening?
