natural fool

Read a random definition: substantive due process

A quick definition of natural fool:

A natural fool is a person who is born with a mental disability. This means they may have difficulty understanding things or making decisions. Sometimes, this can affect their ability to participate in legal proceedings, such as standing trial or testifying in court. This is also known as incompetency or mental incompetence.

A more thorough explanation:

A natural fool is a person who is born with a mental disability. This term is used in history to describe individuals who were considered mentally challenged from birth.

Incompetency refers to a lack of legal ability in some respect, such as the ability to stand trial or testify in court. For example, if a defense lawyer can establish their client's incompetency, the client may not have to stand trial.

A person with Down syndrome who has difficulty understanding complex concepts may be considered a natural fool.
If a witness in court has a severe intellectual disability and cannot understand the questions being asked, they may be deemed incompetent to testify.

These examples illustrate how natural fool and incompetency were historically used to describe individuals with mental disabilities and their legal standing in society.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?
