I would love to know what exactly they mean by "physical defective"

[NORML54601]

Change that to mentally defective and it could be from today's Times.

[DVD Polizei]

Except change the 15,000,000 to 50,000,000. Then you'd be spot-on in the mentally defective department.

[dieinafire]

Imagine if they still referred to them like that now. Or they could call them trainables, just like the 70's
