Acceptable talk on amateur radio band's.

So basically what he's saying is that I shouldn't introduce my son to amateur radio (in order to keep it going in the future by getting another generation interested) because he wants to play potty mouth on the air.

 

::shrug:: No different than what my daughters encountered in middle school.

I don't talk like that, I don't encourage it, but I didn't shelter my kids from it because it is the way the world works. When they were 11 or 12 I characterized certain words as ones that "children are not permitted to use while adults are present."

 

It amazes me that certain language and specific words that are considered inpolite and in bad taste are in all actuality so commonplace. Particularly a certain foul four letter that I have found particularly used extensively in professional business conversations, often to emphasize a point or certain emotion.
Etiquette may or may not have been emphasized since the boomer generation?
I just dont freakin understand it?!

 

...and apostrophe's.

...and don't order a pizza via the autopatch.

 

Why not ?

 

Because there aren't any autopatches left.

 

And capital letters!

 

There's nothing improper about ordering a pizza via an autopatch -- IF you can still find a repeater that still has one.

 

Personal affordable cellphones made Autopatch obsolete.
Aint technology great!!
Ymmv

 

There is no rule against talking about politics. Not FCC rule anyway.

Some repeater owners have banned religion and politic on thot apply to every repeater/eir repeaters and if you want to use their repeaters, you abide by their rules. But that does not apply to all repeaters.
