Chacham's Journal: News: Random kid stories / Verbiage: Too many kid stories.

Some articles regarding "kids". A 12-year-old Arab boy tried carrying a bomb into Israel, luckily it malfunctioned, otherwise, they would have murdered him too. Must be age discrimination. Life isn't worth living if you can't make bombs yourself.

Egypt, is hosting a workshop to stop female circumcision.

And here's a couple "pre-teen" thirteen year-olds. And a 12-year old surviving a 45-foot fall.

Seems like a lot of child-related news lately. I guess they're so fed up with adult violence, we now must now focus on child violence. Hey, why not start them young?

Age shouldn't be reported in most stories, as it usually isn't relevant, other than to get the reader to care. ...It probably won't be long before we build altars to the young.

Bah! Can anyone remember the name of the current top Chess dude?

I believe this is done when she becomes a teen. Similar to Arabs giving boys circumcisions at the age of thirteen. At that age, i wouldn't quite call her a child. She can make her own decisions to some extent. Though, it is nice that they are addressing the issue in the open. To me that's the most important part.

Hmm, I have heard of it being done at very young ages. Either way, terrible idea.

I do believe he is not the champion right now.

A few people corrected me on this one. Guess you were correct.

they were pre-teens at the time

[Cy Guy]

the article says the murder occurred in Feb 2003, which means if they are 13 now they would would have been 12 (or possibly 11) at the time.

Yes confusing, but if my only problem with Faux News was confusing writing that would be a big improvement.

Yeah, i figured as much. But, it is poor writing.
