Well, at least the 4th inning is over
That was BRUTAL. Two outs and the pitcher up and five runs score.

Tejada asks for reinstatement on the under 25 yr old
ESPN All-Star team. He figures he can get another birth certificate from China that says he is 16.

Well, it is suspect, but I have to say
Chinese women do look younger than what they are. At least in my experience.

physically there is a huge advantage for women (girls) under 16, I am told
if you are “less developed,” and younger. But I think Bella Spellcheck could have been a little less harsh on the Chinese team. Either have the facts to prove it or leave them alone. Don’t diminish the accomplishments of the Chinese team. I agree with you.

no prob
the first video game is Pong which came on the scene in 1974. So, in my book, if you were 13 or younger when Pong came out you are on the bleeding edge of the Digital Natives. Everyone who came before that are Immigrants.

I wonder if there's another
demarcation at the advent of the internet, with a generation used to communicating online versus in person. There must be significant sociological implications there.

absolutely
the initial question was what’s the demarcation. The internet certainly is another. I equate it, to the oldsters, to the telephone and electricity. We think nothing of either… but to the earlier generations both were a revelation. If you think of it as “technology” you’re not a native.
