In regards to a few post back, other than a few racist tuckers, people including truckers conduct themselves well on the CB here in the Houston area. During DX most people are respectful and bad language is kept to a minimum as well in my experience. You can't judge a whole band by the behaviors of a few, because you will find the same behavior on other bands at times or other undesirable behaviors.

There has always been the white trash element on CB radio. As a kid I was right in the middle of it. I have tape recordings of the CB drama on channel 20 in Houston. I've had some local feuds come in during DX conditions in the past couple of years I have been back on CB radio. It was the same kind of drama I was around back in the late 80s and 90s, people taking each other to court, giving out their personal info, telephone harassing, calling CPS, vandalizing people's homes...... It usually stems from someone getting their feelings hurts. Some people lack the skills to be respectful or think they are entitled to be a prick to someone just because. The person then retaliates and it becomes and back and forth war. Often people are forced to take sides. Sometimes it will get so bad neither can ever forgive what has been done. Sometimes people get killed over it. I knew Cbers and hams that bragged about how they destroyed people's lives over radio drama and it was always over something petty, often something they started or something minor they blew out of proportion. You know that "F me over once and I'll F you over 1000 times" mentality? They just expected them to take their abuse from the start. I experienced these types of people not only on CB and ham, but in my general life. People that use fear and intimidation to control people. As I got around more matured and educated people and became more selective who I associated with the drama went away. Of course I matured as well. Often we don't even realize how offensive we are when we're young. I will say in the couple of years I have been back on, I have come across some people that the older me would have cussed out or parked under their antenna and plugged their ears. As I stated some people just lack the skills to be respectful, but overall most Cbers and hams are cool.
