I try to avoid making specific number comparisons Since when? This morning? You have presented such specific number "comparisons" on several occasions in order to shore up a claim of yours, with nothing to back it up except your "claim".. When? Put up or shut up. But I would hope that you'd agree that a definite majority of CB'ers are running illegally in one form or another. Majority? Hahha,,that would equal exactly what you said you do not do,,,,more than 51%...LOL....your hypocrisy radiates bull****. You evidently have absolutely no idea of the difference between general conclusions and specific numbers. Then again judging by your past performance and lack of comprehensive ability, this should not surprise me. I have certainly seen enough empirical data in my many years of the hobby to make that claim. But of course, you can point to or illustrate *none* of this "empirical" (snicker) data,,,you want only to be taken at your word,,,something you ruined long ago, but I will give you another benefit of doubt,,,present something of this "empirical" data, as "empirical" means "provable or verifiable by experience or experiment". And it's been my experience after 30+ years of CBing that the majority of CB operators operate illegally to one degree or another. Just turn the radio on any given day and you can hear it for yourself. Every time someone hits that roger beep, every time you hear an echo box, every time you see someone's signal "swinging" wildly, every yahoo on 27.555, and every time you hear some low-life cuss out someone else. Merely claiming somehting is empirical does not make it so. Do something you have never been able to do for the masses, Davie,,prove your bull**** claim. How does one "prove" a claim that is based on empirical observation? What, do you want government census numbers? You're not going to get them. But then again you know that, and you are simply falling back on your old standby excuse that "absence of proof means the same thing as lying". It's one thing to be "busted" for operating illegally, It's totally another to just be "operating" illegally. It's true that a higher percentage of hams are busted for operating illegally than there are CB'ers popped for illegal operation. But for the most part it can be explained that hams themselves have requested stricter enforcement. It can also be argued, for the most part, it can be explained" that hammmies have also requested stricter enforcement against cbers as well,,,,,,it simply doesn't make it so and your claim was fabricated simply to suit your own warped politics. Do a little searching. Or, be bold enough to ask Riley himself. Hams HAVE asked for better enforcement of the ham bands That is a matter of general acknowledgement for any ham who's spent any time listening to the ARRL and RAIN reports or who peruses ham discussion boards. But on the other hand, hams could not care less what goes on on 11 meters. As long as they stay above 12 meters and below 10. In other words, just because there are a higher number of reported enforcement actions against hams vs. CB'ers, does not mean that there is a higher percentage of hams operating illegally. It also can be stated with incredible accuracy, that simply because you categorically and vehemently stated you can prove something, doesn't mean you actually can or will. In other words, you're full of bull**** as usual. I have not claimed to have rock solid proof of anything. But if you are going to take the position that unless someone has such proof, that everything they say is automatically a lie, you are the one with issues. A tough and somewhat duplicitous position for someone who claims to believe in God. Dave "Sandbagger" N3CVJ Why do you feel the need to add my call? This is a CB newsgroup remember? http://home.ptd.net/~n3cvj |
