illegal to swear in Qld

[stickthis]

lol! are you serious. Maybe they should worry what goes in peoples mouths eg the drugs on the street before worring about what comes out of peoples mouths.

No joke...... Apparantly the law has been passed. Qlders are now officially a bunch of friggin wimps.

Makes me proud to be a Roach...... even if the Toads did just cane us tonight in the state of origin..

Well much as you guys think that is a crazy law, and how they are going to implement that is beyond me. I do swear but not in public, and when you walk past a bunch of ferruls saying f...and c...and other such words, in the street, at the top of their lungs....and you have your mother, or your little children wth you....it is inappropriate....

On a good note ...maybe they will be too busy booking people for swearing than speeding......

Its a good point jen.

There is a time and place to swear. with your mates in a controled enviroment, at home, and when you kick and tell the dog off for eating your boots.
I have had the same thing you say. walking past some young kids. (females also) and hear the C word come out. I dont believe there is any need ever to use that word. And im a country hick! lol..

We sometimes get truckies on our UHF channel. There is the standard farm UHF in the kitchen and it gets a little frustrating when they start swearing.
Your right about a time and a place stickthis. I usually find the time and place fairly often!

I agree with Jennie, I worked for local government as a plant operator for 24 yrs, so I know all the word's. But I never carried on in public or with women or kid's around, that's wrong.

I found the same thing, you have to turn up the UHF to hear it properly with the window down, next thing you know you have to turn it down because of the language.

Yeah sometimes I wish i could send 240 volts through the UHF.
