I have a voluntary job working with mentally dissabled people, saying they have "Minds of children" is extremly derogatory, and must not be said.

I realize Cyril is a fictional character, but I think it would be in the best interest if that was fixed. I have removed the offending line, but I can't think of anything to replace it. Can any one help? MJN SEIFER 21:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

surely having mentioned that he was left mentally handicapped from his injuries and subsequently describing his personality ie "child-like" the point is moot and the whole line should be removed. i saw the show and know what the character was like but i think most people would get the idea. ??

Minds of children is how they describe him on the show. I ask that it be added back, it may be a derogatory statement, but it is a statement directly from the show. If this is the case, than why not edit all of Wikipedia of every and any term someone finds "offensive"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.142.242.122 (talk) 21:43, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
