Does anyone believe the bumper sticker that says "United We Stand"?

Look at the title of the newsgroup.... Well, actually it should be
rec.radio.amateur.POLITICS instead, because except in a few rare occasions
where there actually is intelligent debate and/or discussion, it is all
POLITICS!!!!!!!


Here, on this newsgroup, we all sound like a bunch of assholes who hate
each other.

Some do seriously dislike others but some of us "play well together."


And we all sound like a bunch of *hams* who hate each other, if you read
this newsgroup.

Probably just catching the newsgroup at the wrong time. Look at
rec.radio.amateur.misc or even alt.ham-radio.vhf-uhf right now. It's the "I
know you are, but what am I" childish arguements....


Why do those people want to kill us? I don't know. But if we fight
amongst ourselves, they win. They win by sitting back and watching us
self-destruct.


Amateur radio will die on its own problems, not from exterior sources, as
the energy to promote and protect the service is definitely not being
utilized that way. This and other newsgroups are a prime example of the
cancer festering on our hobby/service.

Oh BS Ryan, you think this bunch of mis fits on USENET has anything in
common with the 'real hams' ?? I don't.

I have been here since I got a computer, way back in 1996. Not much has
changed. Even some of the same folks are here.

Nothing that goes on here happens on the air. Its a good way to vent and
have fun.

In fact I'll bet if you could take a pole you would find most of these folks
are not on the air, for whatever reason, and don't care to be. This is
their only connection to a enjoyable outlet they can't or won't use any
longer. Being on the air and having fun.

You better take four or five- It'll take a lot of beating and

That is not the correct method of applying the
Wouff Hong in any case. I would provide a
detailed description of the act, but it is too
intensely horrific for the delicate sensibilities
of the newsgroup readers.




I dunno, Jim, we have some really insensitive induhviduals on here-
Some of them probably wouldn't even notice!

IIRC the only Wouff Hong in existence is in the ARRL's museum. I doubt
that they'd
let you borrow it......

One could easily be fabricated from a piece of old wood. "Old plow
handles" etc.. I would not sand the device. It's much more effective
when the splinters are functional. I've heard tell fleet brand enemas
are based on the original Wouff Hong design. Not as glamorous as
machine gun design, but useful none the less. MK
