This show is so mysterious to me because apparently it's huge, but I have never met anyone who admits to watching it. Who are you THM watchers?

Will they change the title? If there is no half man, the title is false advertising! :)

No, I understand what you mean. There really isn't a good answer here. As it was explained to me in law school, the reason duress is an acceptable defense (for almost all crimes) is that violating criminal law is more acceptable to society than experiencing whatever harm you were threatened with. For example, helping…

Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me! And what ForGiggles said :)

Dianna Agron has a pretty voice (and is gorgeous!), but I don't think she has the necessary power for Maria.

Or maybe you should? I realize that is going to sound snarky, but duress is not a defense to murder under US law. So if HHGGHH reads up on it, s/he isn't going to find what you apparently think.

The US is not the same then. Duress maybe a partial defense in some states, but it is not a complete defense to murder in the US.

That doesn't matter in the eyes of the law. Many (possible all, I'm not sure) states even specifically state in their criminal code that duress is not a defense to murder. Otherwise court cases have established that (2) in this list covers it. What happened was horrible, but at least in the US, it does not mean a…

I am not going to condemn these women. I would like to think that in the same circumstances I would choose to die over killing someone else, but I have no idea what I would really do if I was being tortured.

ForFksSake covered this pretty well, but I just wanted to emphasize that there is a difference between the law forcing you to intervene as a Good Samaritan (which is never a requirement in the US) and and you killing someone, even under the threat of duress.

Don't know or care if it was staged, but my first thought about this story was (literally), "But how did he know what size to buy?"

Laughed out loud. Now my cat thinks I'm crazy.

Yikes. That is disturbing.

You're right. Age of consent in NJ is 16. NY is 17 though, so if he met Clash there, then he was underage.

States' age of consent varies. Many states are at sixteen, a few are seventeen (including NY), and the rest are eighteen.

Clearly this is a pointless conversation, so I don't know why I'm still responding, but no. The sign lets you know that the pharmacist can substitute, but by itself the sign wouldn't fulfill the PA legal requirements. This is kind of obvious since one sign can't tell you the difference in price between the generic and…

Well the code of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania doesn't agree with you on that.

From the current PA Code section 25.55: "Where the pharmacist is to substitute a less expensive generically equivalent drug for a brand name drug at the pharmacy, notification to the person presenting the prescription shall be made by the pharmacist, either directly or through a pharmacy intern or other person under…

As I already said to someone else in this thread, PA law also requires that the pharmacist tell you that they are doing it and give you a chance to refuse the generic. Why did that piece of information require 20 exclamation marks? You've never even been to my pharmacy. You don't know how many signs there are.

There's nothing wrong with it. It just sounds very different from the way Americans say it.
