Referring to derogatory name calling meant to single people out for whatever reason. So really just general politeness and decency? I can agree with that. Though there's a masive difference between calling someone a "fucking moron" and calling someone a "nigger". One's rude and uncalled for (most of the time), the other is categorically wrong. In GTA they call us 'inbred moron'. What if you really are inbred? Won't that feel offensive? Google knows quite a few synonyms to 'moron' by the way fool, idiot, ass, blockhead, dunce, dolt, ignoramus, imbecile, cretin, dullard, simpleton, clod, nitwit, halfwit, dope, ninny, nincompoop, chump, dimwit, dingbat, dipstick, goober, coot, goon, dumbo, dummy, ditz, dumdum, fathead, numbskull, numbnuts, dunderhead, thickhead, airhead, butthead, flake, lamer, lamebrain, zombie, nerd, peabrain, birdbrain, scissorbill, jughead, mouth-breather, jerk, donkey, twit, goat, dork, twerp, hoser, schmuck, bozo, boob, turkey, schlep, chowderhead, dumbhead, goofball, goof, goofus, galoot, lummox, knuckle-dragger, klutz, putz, schlemiel, sap, meatball, dumb cluck, mook

I wouldnt use GTA as my moral compass of right and wrong anyways. I really shouldnt have to say that but this isnt the first time someone tried to point to GTA as justification for poor judgement. Last time it was people saying we should be able to drop n-bombs as much as we want because the characters Lamar and Franklin use the word so freely in the game.

I was just taking the piss there Also, inbred doesn't have to mean your mother is your fathers niece or something. It could just mean you were born as a moron, which is more probable and doesn't attack a group of people. I only brought this up because last week I thought of the phrase and found that they picked it very well, without offending any group imo.

ArticleJames May's thoughts: Richard Hammonds: Now whether you think it was the correct decision or not, all I'm going to say is i'm sure as hell going to miss this show, as there were SO many great moments I & a lot of other people experienced from this show. R.I.P Top Gear as we know it.

Such bullshit. End of a great show. Now it will end up being like America's Top Gear. Absolute shite.

Well, I'm only going to be using my TV for playing games now. RIP TopGear.

ITV, Sky or hell even Channel 5 need to wake up, smell the opportunity and hire all three of them. I can already see it..... Maximum Gear #RIPTopGear

I enjoyed it when it was on and the three of them provided some genuinely brilliant television, particularly their huge cross-country challenges, but Jeremy Clarkson is a complete arsehole and Richard Hammond on the show was like his mindless grinning bulldog. I'm not mourning the loss.
Now excuse me as I prepare to run from an angry mob that are wielding flaming pitchforks.

He is a complete dick and should have absolutely been fired, no excuses for violent acts. .....But that's why we love him #JezzaOneStepCloserToBeingPM

It's a massive shame that he's gone.But if he really did hit someone over "no hot meal" then you can't argue with their decisions.Obviously we don't know the specifics but judging from both the facts and speculation so far,it looks like there was no excuse for what he did.Perhaps if the media hadn't got hold of it,less serious measures may have been able to be taken.I've defended Jeremy plenty of times for different things,I think most of the time the people who complain about him or what he's done,are usually busybodies with too much time on their hands who don't seem to realise that Clarkson's statements aren't exactly on behalf of the viewers or the BBC,they are to provide entertainment.However an assault on staff over "no hot food"?No way is that Ok.Perhaps he'll learn from this and may some day be on topgear again.I'll miss topgear,it was one of my favourite shows and I know millions of others will too. Edit:I also feel it was a bit selfish towards the viewers.He knew he was on his last straw and that he provided entertainment for hundreds of millions of viewers,yet he acted like an imbecile and hit someone over a trivial matter.Thus bringing an end to the show as we know it,and entertainment for millions of his fans

I've enjoyed Top Gear, but that doesn't change the fact that Jeremy Clarkson punched somebody, It's Clarkson's fault for getting so worked up over something normal people would just have to accept, and the person he took it out on was an innocent party. Just think how BBC would look if they were to give Clarkson a smack on the wrist for out of order behaviour that any other person (no matter how good at their job they are) would be fired for.
Welcome to the real world Jeremy Clarkson.
