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.

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.

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

BTW, I do get your point; and you're probably right.

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.
