That's the world that the majority lives in (China, India, and parts of the Middle East excluded), but it's a lie. I understand shielding a child from something, but the biggest point I'm trying to get across is: if you feel your child is too young for the language, perhaps the show is not suitable to expose them to in the first place. If you're going hide a piece, hide the whole.
Liberty dies with a whimper instead of a bang. It slowly slips away as we make compromises for comfort, security, etc. that's the concern that many, if not most, people have. But a society made up of so many people of different moral & ethical standards are going to have compromises to keep it all together. The balance is the key to a free society.

^^^This. So very true.
