I mean this whole debate about kangaroo courts is pretty stupid really. Who cares?

What's more interesting is the debate about language. Poop claims that "words have definite meaning" and for the most part that's true. But words can also be flexible, as mojo points out people can mean something slightly different depending on their culture, or the context of the discussion. So the proper way to approach the kangaroo court thing is to ask why these people are using this term. What are they saying makes this committee different from a fair court? Because that's really what someone means when they use the term. They mean "less than a proper court", whatever that might mean. The point being, it's highly subjective, and in such cases, rather than telling people they are flat out wrong for using the term, or interpreting the term with ambiguity, it's better to try and understand why the term is being used in the first place and if it's a reasonable use of that term.
