Or is it maybe just my caring, sensitive side coming through again?

I'd go with either 1) Your meds are kicking in or 2) It is blue jello nite at The Home and it always puts you in a good mood!

IMO, names are ok Facebook pages, not so much.

Um yeah. The C saw it also. That's why he called a foul on the white player for that contact. He had his fist up for that foul before the second push-off happened. He then called the flagrant technical foul for the second push-off by the white player.

Is your point that the calling official wrongly called the first foul on the endline contact?

Well, you should be well aware by now of what I personally think of your opinion, with or without meds or blue jello. :)

Did you miss the police report that had part of the guy's phone number? And his Date of Birth? And part of his employer? Each of those pieces of information can be used for identity theft.

What did the Fb screen grab show? The only thing that wasn't in the newspaper report, is that this player "is in a relationship" and that he uses piss-poor grammar. (All info not related to the person personally was white'd out.)

So I just watched the video again.

That player needs a permanent mark on his record.

That's why you are wise beyond your years, Juggler...and Old School Junior ain't.

Aaaaahhhh, guys. Facebook is a social network system which has mostly people in their late 30s and older than folks that are growing up. Next thing you are going to say the PlayStation 3 is for kids too. :D

Peace

Cite your source.

Research I did says the opposite.

The largest age group is 18-24. The next largest age group is 25-34. The age group that encompasses people in their late 30s is the same size as people that are less than 18.

In other words, the age group you mentioned is not even in 3rd place by itself: it is tied for 3rd, and spots 1 and 2 account for 55% of Facebook's demographics.

I have done enough citing sources in the last several days. ;)

But it has been well known that the average group on Facebook is in their mid to late 30s. Why, because this is an age group that has grown up with computers and use the site to connect with people they went to school with or they have not seen in years. I got on FB because people at my church were on there and we would send out information to members for many events. Also my high school class used FB to send out information about our reunion this past summer. None of those folks are in their 20s I can assure you of that. I have almost 400 friends on FB and I know just about all of them from childhood, high school, college, church and officials. Almost none of them are in that age group.

MySpace is different and has a different group of people that use and visit that site. And the usage of MySpace is also very different.

I am not talking about accounts. Anyone can get an account. Who is using the site is a different story and primarily what I am talking about.

No one heard of this guy until the last few weeks. People heard been talking about Zuckerberg for a couple of years now.
