If my fellow hams are wrong, I will not side with them. I enjoy the hobby, I just disagree with the attitudes of many hams.
Your statement, "Only a cb'er would make the comments you've made."
Oh no, don't call me a cb/er, that would just insult me sooooo much. You ever think that being a cb'er isn't a bad thing? What I said about the publications and the general attitude of hams is absolutely correct, as proven by your statement quoted here. Many hams hold this selfrighteous belief that they are better than cb'ers..
You're right though, the fcc does enforce the rules, sometimes. Every now and again, especially out of the Tampa office, they get bored and kick someone's door in, put guns to their heads, and steal their property simply because they transmitted a signal without asking them first.
What really got me going this time is not necissarily the rules themselves, it was the attitude of many on here. As soon as someone mentions deviating from the fcc's rules for any reason, they are verbally lynched and told how the righteous and powerful fcc will send down it's wrath upon them, oooo, scary. ROAR, I'm the fcc, be afraid! It's like noone even thinks about breaking the rules. It's like your thoughts are confined to the dictates of the fcc. People here are so pationately in favor of all these rules, no matter what they are, that they chastize anyone who would even dream of violating them even the least bit. If the fcc told you to drink poisonous coolaid, you would assume it's for your benefit and chug. Thinking about it would be a violation, a most severe evil. The fcc is good and just, questioning them is a sin of the worst kind. That's what burns me up. Just stop being such thought slaves. I know this shocks you guys, but there are some illegal acts that do not cause wide spread chaos and death. In fact, sometimes, it does actually nothing when you break the law. Noone dies, noone is hurt, if the fcc hears, they get pissed, that's it.
