And all because the words simply have a different meaning in the different parts of the country. And since most people think of cb, for some reason, as connected with Appalachia, of course you're going to hear sentences on CB such as "that freaking lady at the store didn't give my kids a poke" that you don't want your kids to hear because it's X rated "foul language". No, not there it isn't. It doesn't mean the same thing. It's not X- rated, but perfectly acceptable G rated. And complaining about store workers not doing that is a very valid complaint today. And then the "radio cops" wonder why people don't like them when the radio cops turn them in to the fcc for saying such innocent things over the air as "saying obscene things over the air that are prohibited by FCC rules" and filing severe criminal charges against them with other agencies that can land the person in jail for the rest of their lives for a crime they never ever committed, just because the radio cop decides the sentence means something other than it does. |

And maybe a few other words thrown in. I don't have 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. |

I know. It's just that the self-appointed radio cops really irrritate me since they're usually guilty of far worse crimes theirselves than what they claim the people they turn in have committed. And the people they turn in are usually completely innocent people caught inbetween catch-22 situations that the self-appointed radio cops manufactures for them in the first place. Since the self-appointed radio cops are obsessed with knowing every single little obscure law there is, they KNOW the laws are purposely written contradictory to each other so that the law can charge anyone for anything anytime they feel like it, no matter which course of the only possible actions to take the unfortunate person decides to take. And yet the self-appointed radio cops who have done such, usually get away scott free from the very serious very illeal crimes they commit. |

I'm not even advocating that. I'd just like people to have some manners again and treat each other with respect. |

If you were so concerned about the language, why did you repeat it here,
where children could read it? Because it's not "in the public" here and not illegal. No one agreed not to use foul language in order to post here. By using the CB radio frequencies, one is impliciting agreeing to the FCC rules of use. If I was at a public venue, such as a game at a city park, I would call a person on the use of foul language. However, if I was in a bar & grill and someone is at the bar drinking and swearing, I'd leave it alone. It's a matter of appropriate places and contexts. The CB radio services in neither the appropriate place or context. Besides, it constitutes illegal use. It seems that common decency isn't very common any more. |

It most certainly is "in the public" as you put it, when you post it here. I will agree that it is not illegal to use it here or against any rules, but you have made quite a few comments regarding "decency", to which you say it is not on the cb bands. Yet here, you feel that "decency" doesn't apply, why 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. If you don't like what people are saying at that "Bar & Grill", go to another. If you don't like what people are talking about at a particular park, go to a different part of the park or leave. Saying just because it's against the rules on cb and it's indecent, it shouldn't be said there, but perfectly ok to swear anywhere else, as long as it's to "your" standards, that hypocritical. Honestly, if you were very concerned hearing that over the cb radio, you would be equally adamant about not perpetuating it in public or in type. KA6SCO Rolf |

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. 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. If you are going to complain about decency, you must practice it too. KA6SCO Rolf |

Your version of 'common' only exists in the hollow echo of your own mind, not very common at all in the real world. Thank you for making my point. But it used to exist. |
