My whole point is, you are going off on how people swear on
the CB radio, it's indecent and against the rules, but yet you break that
decency rule right away by putting it into type.

There is no decency rule against putting it into type. There is a clear
federal regulation against using it on the CB.

not? It should apply any where you are, even the "bar & grill". If you
are
going to preach decency and complain about it, then you must practice
it
across the board, not only to where "you" think it should be applied.

It's not just me that thinks it should be applied. It's a federal
regulation that makes it inappropriate on CB.

OK, you're point??? I never disagreed with you, I was talking about how
you
repeated those words in type, to which was
not necessary nor was it decent or appropriate. YOU are the
one going on about how "decency" is needed on CB radio airwaves, I'll
agree,
same paragraph you go off and type the very words you say are indecent to
say, you don't think that's a
little hypocritical? I was at a SF Giants game last week with
my 6 year old grandson, the people behind me were using words
that I thought were inappropriate for those surroundings (children
with in ear shot). I even recorded it on my cell phone for the ushers to
hear, they said that it wasn't "foul language", though it's content was
pretty raw, they couldn't do anything about it. So I requested to be moved
to comparable seats due to the fact these people were not taking into
account there were children with in ear shot, they moved me. Now they
weren't swearing, but I did not want my grandson hearing about how he
puked
his guts out because he drank to much, or what drugs they were taking to
get
high.

Well, I agree with the original poster that foul language doesn't
belong on the CB. However, the original poster seems to
not grasp the concept that what is considered foul language in his
part of the country isn't necessarilly considered
foul language in other parts of the country.

Such as in the original poster's part of the country, wherever that
is, "tits" is considered foul language the same as
F.U. and other words he mentioned, while in my part of the country,
"tits" was never considered a foul or obscene
word like F.U. and other words the original poster mentioned.

While sentences like "She gave me a poke" is considered X-rated foul
language that kids should never hear, in my
part of the country, the exact same sentence is considered perfectly
acceptable G-rated language that is okay for
even little kids to hear and say, in Appalachia.

It means something different there than it does hear.

CB is meant for mobile operation. And for some reason seems to be
associated with Appalachia, so when a self-
appointed radio cop hears someone from Appalachia say that while
driving elsewhere, the self-appointed radio cop
just assumes that the person said X-rated material that doesn't belong
on the public airwaves and turns him in.

Even though what was said was really G-rated material that does belong
on the CB.


When what's perfectly acceptable G-rated material in one part of the
country is non-acceptable X-rated material in another
part of the country, and the rmobile adio operator is of course used
to speaking the way people in his own part of the
country do.

One of the funniest things I seen, a long time ago, was a CB website
written by a ham radio operator, complaining about CB'ers using CB-
lingo to disguse the meaning of words instead of using plain English
like the FCC rules require.

And he gave examples. (and he really believed what he wrote)

And the examples were all what is plain English (in Appalachia) just
as the FCC rules require.

Except for one example he gave which was plain English all over the
country while I was growing up and before that.

I don't know wherever he got the notion that "nose" was secret CB-
lingo for the front of a vehicle.

When I was growing up and before that, "nose" to the mean the front of
a vehicle was common plain English all over
the country. The only vehicle I never heard it used for was boats,
which havve their own terminology.

As for the other examples he gave, those type of hams need to learn
that

"Drawers" is NOT secret CB-lingo to disguise the meaning of
"underwear". It IS plain English.

"Britches" is NOT secret CB-lingo to disguise the meaning of "pants"
It IS plain English

"Pedal to the metal" IS not secret CB lingo. It IS plain English.

"Booger" is NOT secret CB lingo to disguise the meaning of "ghosts".
It IS plain English.

"Poke: is NOT secret CB lingo to disguise the meaning of "bag" or
"sack". It IS plain English.

"Roadhouse" is NOT secret CB lingo to disguise the meaning of "bar" so
that the smokies don't know the CB'ers and truckers are going to a bar
to get drunk. It IS plain English.

Your sole objective in posting here seems to be of a trolling nature,

I don't think The Dude is a troll, but Dude, answer this

Under Federal law, a state can NOT make food from another state
illegal, and if the person with the
food is travelling interstate, it falls under Federal law and not
state law.

yet you on a family vacation can go to a regular grocery store in
Appalachia, buy cans of food there, and when you get
into California, if a California cop catches you with those cans of
food you bought in Appalachia, you are now in very
very very serious legal trouble since California made a law declaring
that Appalachian food is illegal drugs, which
states can prohibit and make illegal under state law since Federal law
also prohibits and makes illegal drugs illegal.

You are now in very very very serious legal trouble for using illegal
drugs, and being a drug dealer, and being a drug
dealer who gave minors (your kids) illegal drugs. And contributing to
the delinquency of minors.

And now the Feds can arrest you for using illegal drugs since
California police records "prove" you did.

Did you break the law or not?

And heaven help the poor Appalachian family who actually eats some of
those cans of food in the next state right
before they get into California and then a California cop also gets
them on "traces of illegal drugs were found in
their blood".

Did that family break the law or not?

remember, under Federal law, states are NOT allowed to make food from
other states illegal.

But under Federal law, states ARE allowed to arrest people for using,
distributing, and even simply just having illegal
drugs.

The flatlands? Or the Appalachian hills?

California, the land of fruits and nuts? Or the rest of the states?


Liberal California hates conservative Appalachia so much that
California banned bringing normal food from Appalachia
into California. You can get arrested, ticketed, fine, and thrown in
jail for doing so.

-------------------

You make a lot of references to Appalachia which seem to indicate that you
sense persecution a lot for being from there. I grew up in and currently
live in the Ozarks, which has even more of a hillbilly reputation than
Appalachia. I call Kalifornia the granola state - nuts, fruits, and flakes.

Back to the original post: there are certain words that are considered foul
language throughout the country. I wasn't referring to inuendo that can be
interpreted by some as foul. I was referring to obvious foul language that
would be considered foul in the entire country. You know, the words you
can't say on prime time TV. . .

Can you site that federal law. I've never heard of it.

also prohibits and makes illegal drugs illegal.

Are you sure? I've never heard of food being classified as illegal drugs by
a state. I know California will dissallow food being brought into the state
due to bugs that cause crop blights. They just tell you you can't bring it
in. They don't charge you with a crime. I know this from personal
experience.

dealer who gave minors (your kids) illegal drugs. And contributing to

Not true. The feds can only arrest and charge you under specific federal
laws that they must site when charging you. California can make milk
illegal and classify it as a narcotic. But unless there is a federal law
that also classifies it as a narcotic, the feds can't charge you with a
crime. It would be a state matter.

And heaven help the poor Appalachian family who actually eats some of
those cans of food in the next state right
before they get into California and then a California cop also gets
them on "traces of illegal drugs were found in
their blood".

No.

That's not really accurate, either. State laws are what allows a state to
arrest someone. A state cannot charge someone under a federal law just as a
federal prosecutor can't charge someone under a state law. It's a little
thing called jurisdiction. A state can only charge a person for having or
distributing drugs under a state law. The federal laws against possession
are only enforceable on federal property where the federal government has
"exclusive federal jurisdiction." I know this from my training in federal
law enforcement. This is only given by a state legislature and approved by
the Attorney General except in territories and on reservations where no
state has authority.

Sorry. Your argument sounds plausible; but the basic premise is inaccurate.

I didn't know he died. I don't watch much tv anymore or listen to the
broadcast
radio. And my isp's newslinks didn't mention it.

Why watch something you can't follow or hear what's going on?

Analog cable tv keeps breaking up into unwatchable unlistenable
blocks,
since the cable company picks everything up digitally now and
retransmits it
over the analog.

Other people at my house thought that effect is caused by poor cable
wiring in
our house and can be fixed by us replacing the cable with new.

Well, that won't and doesn't work. Analog cable doesn't break up into
blocks even with a poor signal.

So since it is, the problem is obvious (to me) on the cable company's
end.

They just can't pick up a watchable digital signal around here even
with their
very expensive antennas and equipment.

Other people with much better antennas than we ever had can't even
pick up
digital tv over the air from here. It keeps breaking up into blocks
and is totally
unlistenable when it does so.

So in about six months, no one around here will have any watchable tv
at all.

Satellite won't work from here either. Way too many trees for that.

So it's the end of tv period, in about six months.

Which will probably cause a huge backlash by the public.
