good try, but, that really doesn't make sense
|
Of course it wouldn't. To invalids like you, nothing but your own opinions make sense or have any merit.
|
btw: invalid means sickly or physically disabled. I don’t know what your trying to imply that it means, but it doesn’t.

in·va·lid -- One who is incapacitated by a chronic illness or disability.
Think about it.

I agree that our definitions are about the same. So are you trying to say this guy has a chronic illness or disabled? No, you’re trying to insult his intelligence. But being an invalid and having some sort of diminished mental capacity are not mutually exclusive. It is very possible for an invalid to mentally normal, like Christopher Reeves or even extremely intelligent, like Steven Hawkins.
There’s not much to think about if you know what the word means.

Chronic illness can be mental. :rolleyes:
|
Yes it can mean that or it could mean you’re comparing him to one of the one of the smartest men on earth.
Try sticking to words you know how to use, like racism.

Invalid does not mean someone who suffers from chronic mental illness. Its means someone who physical disabled and can not take care of themselves. Those who are not physically disabled are not, by definition, an invalid.
Try again.

Congratulations Captain Crackshot! You've missed out on another one of life's little points. The http://www.dictionary.com defination of invalid is as follows:
n. One who is incapacitated by a chronic illness or disability
Now, instead of living in your one dimensional world where only literal reading exists, you can extrapolate that ILLNESS can also mean a mental illness. Or, oh my, disability? Yup, I believe that qualifies for a mental disability.
Now, instead of wondering what a valid insult to a racist bigot means, you can move on with your lives, hopefully.

I’m sorry, but you're reading words into that very definition that simply are not there. I can list several websites definition of the word invalid that say it’s a "physical" incapacitation. How many can you list that say it’s a "mental" debilitation? You have free health care in Canada, if you don't believe the online dictionaries, or us, just call a hospital and ask them for yourself.
I don't condone his remarks about Canada, but what he said does, not by any stretch of the imagination, make him an invalid. Or racist for that matter. The only word that you've used that makes somewhat any sense at all would be bigot.

Here you are, champ. Several sites, all defining invalid. I see none of which which support your own claim.
http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/DictionaryResults.aspx?refid=1861622187
Here, you have many definations, not saying "physical" in any of which. Of course, it can be interpreted as such, but then again, so can mental.
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=invalids
Hmm... Looks like the same situation here aswell!
http://www.bartleby.com/61/26/I0212600.html
Well, looks like a shine of hope for you yet! But wait, oh dear, looks like that is intended for a transitive verb. Not the noun that I had used in reference to him.
http://www.askoxford.com/dictionary/invalid1
Hmm, yet another definition that doesn't add the word "physical" into its definition.
Well, it turns out that you are about as "correct" as I am. It neither states mental, or physical in the same context of which I used it. I guess that means that it is open to interpretation? Mental of physical? Both?
Hmm...

I would also like to point out, that as an insult, it does not need to be in the scientifically correct context, (although that is what I'm arguing, Raven may not actually be an invalid.)
It's like if I call someone a "Pile of shit". They aren't necessarily a "pile of shit", but it is an insult, so the context is built into the sentence, just like how when I call Raven an invalid. He may not be an invalid, per se, but he is an idiot. Which is correct, just rephrased in a slang term which is offensive.

You just proved my point and now you choose to ignore it?
How did he become an invalid? He became “incapacitated physically”. It’s right there on your web site. I am not magically pulling words out of thin air. By definition its physical. Mental is nowhere to be found.
If you’re going to argue that a transitive verb loses its definition when it’s root word is in the form of a noun, then I can see why you chose such poor words to insult someone’s intelligence. It's called the Engrish language.
Nice try though.

Now you're trying to implicate something that does not exist. Remember, when I am using a noun to refer to him, that is not a transitive verb, and is not therefore a "physical illness or disability".
This is what you seem to be implying in every single one of your posts:
An invalid cannot be a mental illness or disability.
Now, if that's incorrect, tell me, because I've obviously not been able to understand what it actually is that you're trying to argue.
However, if you can proof to me that in every possible way, that an "invalid" (Key point here! **NOUN** ) cannot be a mental disability or illness, then I can agree with you. You have still, at no point given to me proof that is true.
