a problem with people using foul language in general, just not in PUBLIC
(including the PUBLIC airwaves). Inuendo that masks the meaning of a
sentence to children but is amusing to adults is fine as far as I'm
concerned.

Maybe CB shouldn't be considered as an acceptable entertainment source
for your kids? Why should the free access nature of CB make it more
subject to moral considerations than something like Howard Stern that
you have to pay for?

Because it is a PUBLIC service. The airwaves are public. It's not a moral
concern, just one of common courtesy and decent behavior. Mostly, it's
because the free access nature of CB has restricted communications. By
using a CB radio, you are agreeing to abide by the rules. Title 47 Part
95, section 95.413 states that "to transmit obscence, indecent or profane
words, language or meaning" is prohibited. If you are using a CB and
agreeing to the rules and then violate those rules, you are showing your
lack of character (not to mention violating federal regulations).
