Incorrect.

Freezing
"Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point."

Starvation
"Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake, below the level needed to maintain an organism's life."

You are literally wrong, and I will accept a 1-page apology written in MLA format before the end of this week.

I honestly do not see the contradiction. "Very cold" -> liquid turns to solid. "Very hungry" -> severe deficiency.

Then how do you explain iron, which freezes below 2,800 Fahrenheit, hm? 2,800 Fahrenheit is hot.

"Very" and "a lot" are subjective.

You cannot be "freezing" unless you are a bloodsicle. This follows from the exact definition of the word. Words have meanings, you know. If people can just say whatever they want, then what is the point of communication?

What part of that definition implies "bloodsicle"?

Not to mention how is that an answer to what I said?

Thank you for being so very elaborate, that cleared everything up. (It didn't.)
