Weirdo ex-candidate's daughter once watched him behead a whale with a chainsaw. Called it, "just normal day-to-day stuff." (www.mediaite.com)

Please answer the question: Why is it ethically neutral to intentionally expose a child (he wasn't passing by, he found out it happened and drove there with his daughter) to such things on a day-to-day basis?

Its not my onus to answer that, that's akin to trying to prove a negative. As the one making the claim, you are supposed to try to prove it. How is exposure to a whale carcass unethical?

Because exposing children to traumatic things can cause psychological issues and watching someone carve up a whale with a chainsaw is pretty damn traumatic for a normal child.

Let me guess: "Prove that it's traumatic."

Nope, it's pointing out that you're moving goalposts.

You asked my why it was unethical. I told you. What goalpost did I move?
