I've pondered having my two boys, 10 and 12, read this thread together and ask their perception of the people posting here. They don't know anything about politics, we don't talk about it here, and I'm curious about their perceptions and how they fit within the virtues we strive to live within, such as temperance and prudence; I admire their civility within purity and the ability to speak the truth of what they see and comprehend. What do you think they will say? I think we'll have a break-through alright.

Words =/= actions. The way you speak of things does not reflect how you've maintained yourself on these boards.
And I would throw your second line right back at you. How you choose to view these words, that's all you.
I feel like people in here are pretty level-headed, if you disagree with some one, you'd have to expect them to disagree right back. There have been some heated discussions all over the place with (hondaracer for example right off the top of my head)and others as well, but no one ever plays the victim card.
I'm a little wary about bringing kids into anything that's political, and there are many reasons:
a) I'd like them to form their own opinion. You are a parent to them, whatever you show them, they'll have a tendency to take your side.
b) They probably just aren't interested - I know I wasn't
c) They most likely won't understand - I know I didn't
At the end of the day, the kids thing, it's your choice. I don't disagree with you because there's no "correct time" to teach them just like there's no "correct time" to have kids. I line of thinking is to let them decide themselves.
