I think there are a number of thigs people generally don’t allow kids to have/do, not because it’s immoral but because it creates a hassle for you, the parent. Take sharpies or other permanent markers for example. If you give one to a 4 or 5 year old, not matter how much you teach them about “how and when” to use them, you’re still guaranteed to get sharpie marks on places you don’t want them, and while it’s not the end of the world it can be a drag.

Of course it’s up to you to decide when’s the appropriate age to have access to permanent markers, cans of spray paint and pocket knives.

The issue with swearing is that kids copy everything you do, so even before school age you can create hassles if your four year old shouts out at the wrong moment “Eat shit, ya fuckin cunt!” This might sound funny but it’s possible to unintentionally set your kids up with habitual patterns of behavior that create unnecessary drama -both for you and your child- that would have been a lot easier to avoid in the first place.

Trying to imagine what my grandpa would say. I mean, aside from the rich stream of profanity and calling for his rifle to “ventilate” those nazi bastards.

I wish I had said this (or something more direct like this) instead of what I did say. I see that I get easily caught up in taking the other side rather than going straight to the more fundamental issues.

I spose I dont directly disagree with your premise, but I feel like you are using some words in a rather loose way. Before asking for 3 examples of such and such, maybe you could state your case a little more clearly.

Could you define what you mean by “coup”? Are “coup” and " terrorism" synonymous? Is it really “terrorism” to support freedom fighters in another country whose success means good trade agreements and partnerships between nations?

The USA put a lot of effort into collapsing the governments of Mussolini and Hitler, was that US terrorism in action?

What about the Philippines? They were suffering under the tyrrany of Spanish colonialism, but with the assistance of the US government they became self governing and eventually achieved full sovereignty.

Of course the USA has made some regrettable mistakes in the past, but where do you draw the line between supporting US interests abroad in a positive ways vs. actual terrorism?
