  - "Romeo & Juliet" laws typically make it legal if both parties are under 18, i vaguely recall -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 11, 09:41 2

        I have a couple of jerseys as well and they’re definitely good for how cheap they are. -- nm - spamlet Mar 11, 08:50
    - If I ranked these Japan would be #1. Colombia's is so ugly that I think edibles are legal in NYC. Taiwan looks like a box of generic checks -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 06:30 4
      - Edibles are legal here. :-) And Colombia's are awful. No amount of weed is going to make them look good. -- nm - Krusty Mar 11, 06:41
      - and I hate it when The Athletic does these and supplies Twitter links for some and nothing for others -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 06:31 2
        
        the El Morro castle on Puerto Rico came out rather unfortunately, my most charitable comment is "Is that a pepper mill?" -- nm - crash davis Mar 11, 06:36 1

  - Not too sure. I don't know if charges were ever brought or if he admitted to it, so it remains an accusation despite the corroboration. -- nm - LMS Mar 11, 05:29 2
    - The issue is more the 'just the once' quote appearing Bruce was personally dismissive of domestic violence when she had attributed the quote to others - LMS Mar 11, 05:37 1
      - I guess I didn't take what she said as being dismissive. It reads as if she's saying his friends are saying, "It was a one off." - Krusty Mar 11, 05:57
