CB Radio Operating

I like to hear and speak with CBers during my daily commute. I can't, however, have the CB on when the kids are in the car due to the prolific use of foul language. It's really sad how far the service has sunk. Well for starters, while the above is true, there's also the fact that what is considered perfectly acceptable G rated okay sentences for kids to use in Appalachia, is considered by the rest of the country to be X-rated words that kids should never say and no one should ever use on the radio. 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. -------- All I'm really talking about is, "****, ****, ****, ****, cock-sucker, mother-****er, tits." 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. |
