Chris,
Were you equally as impressed by Anne Frank? What about a young Dr. King, was he impressive? What about the youth who turn away from family and community pressure to conform to what they feel are out dated beliefs and turn towards a spirituality that holds more meaning for them? Are they impressive?

Thee are a plethora of youth in Arica(none famous) who daily give their lives in civil wars. These wars are based on religion and patriotism, their beliefs are no less fervently held, and their courage no less amazing. There are Palestinian youth who die believing they are doing so for country and religion. Are they equally impressive?

Just wondering what your thoughts are on these kids.

some people would say that a childs murder, for any reason, is a shame. Some say that choosing to die for relgious beliefs is a monumental waste and contrary to God's desires(although the Columbine kids weren't given that choice)

What do you think?

Mark
