    Slow your roll, turbo, do you always get this shitty when someone asks a genuine question about a topic they aren't familiar with?

    Real question.

      That wasn’t me being shitty. That was me asking a genuine question in order to understand just how unfamiliar they were to this subject. Once they answered, you’ll find I explained the entire thing to them.

      Do you always assume the worst in people? Real question.

      I mean, it's like asking how can you order food in a restaurant of a different country you're not a citizen of? Like, you might not be familiar with the topic but you're assuming some limitation that makes no sense and doesn't exist.

        Except you're comparing LEGAL SYSTEMS with ORDERING FOOD

        They aren't comparable.

        I'm almost positive I could navigate ordering food from almost anywhere in the world, as long as I could speak their language.

        But I don't for a second think I could navigate their legal system, and in quite a few cases from my understanding, I wouldn't be able to do anything at all as a foreigner.

        Sure, it MIGHT be similar enough. But I'm not going to risk it, and I would prefer to at least ask someone with more local knowledge than myself. Probably a lawyer but if it's only passing curiosity, a simple question on a website will do.

          Well yeah, i couldn't make a lawsuit in my hometown or in a different country without a lawyer either. Yes, you get a lawyer and they file a lawsuit in the appropriate court, whether it's your home country or a foreign country. Yes, the process will be different but it doesn't matter which country youre a citizen of.
