    Just because he asked for it doesn't necessarily make it legal. Assisting suicide is a crime in many places.

    The word order is actually the same, as in basically all european languages.

    Bullshit. French & Italian generally put the adjective after the noun, but English, German & Dutch put it before. Then there's the thing where German sometimes outrageously at the end the verb puts.

    The correct thing to do would be to increase the threshold so it doesn't notice the handful of retards who do use it.
