durnit, I thought this thread was about cruising being banned when I read the title.  Our sporty friends would be freed! AND then no more posts from Califartians about having to wait behind a whole parade of pirates!  I am dissapointed to say the least.

Well... that's how the dominoes fall; take away the cursing, next thing you know you're so f*$%^ polite and passive you just don't care anymore about rude riders stinkin' up the roads. Next it's f*&^ the whales, let's club some GD baby seals, build me some Mf*&^%$ nuclear power plants... right on the beach... why hell, let's get our selfish asses out of the way so entire foreign cultures can move in illegally and appropriate our kids schools, our churches, entire towns... and subvert the national language.... Oh! sorry. That just sorta got away from me there....

If you think about it: if the governments can legislate something like this to take away our ability to say certain words, how long will it take until they can take away our right to speak our minds completely? First, it starts with banning cussing first week of a month and they'll figure, hey, we like this sort of power! Then the next thing we know, we can't say squat about what we think of our government or anything else that makes us a free people.

A little drastic, yes, but it does have potential to move that way. So, while I hate needless cussing, because it's nothing but some vulgar words that are ugly to hear, this move could be something big, even though it's really small right now.

And, on another note: banning certain words is useless; it's the way in how they are used. They can take fuck away, but it could be replaced with another word very easily.

Just my opinion. Glad I don't live in California

The government has always had this ability.  Society used to deem it bad to use foul language in public...especially in front of children.  In the later part of the 20th century, such laws were hardly enforced because of the proliferation of public obscenity and the "slippery slope" argument about where and when such laws can or should be enforced.

Today, I think every state has such laws, but you never see them used.

Actually, I rarely swear in public, especially around children, women, seniors and family.

In Most of this, that lump in my cheek is my tongue  

My wife... now that a different story. She could not live in California... at all. She cusses everything (fixed) mostly me

I kinda like it...
