Be careful what you say in Massachusetts towns....

Massachusetts town to vote on $20 fines for cursing in public

MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. – Mimi Duphily was hanging baskets of pink geraniums on antique street lamps downtown for the Middleborough Beautification and Activities Group when she noticed something else that needed cleaning up -- citizens' mouths.

"The cursing has gotten very, very bad. I find it appalling and I won't tolerate it," said Duphily, a civic leader in the otherwise quiet New England community, which calls itself the Cranberry Capital of the World. "No person should be allowed to talk in that manner."

Soon, Middleborough residents who do could risk a $20 fine.

Duphily, 63, tried scolding the cursers -- whom she describes as young people shouting the "F-word" back and forth -- with a stern, "Hey kids, that's enough!" Then she conferred with the Beautification and Activities Group, which informed the Middleborough Business Coalition, which then called a summit with Middleborough Police Chief Bruce Gates, who now, in his sworn role, is trying to stomp out swears.

He is asking citizens to vote at the annual Town Meeting on Monday to flush potty mouths by granting police the power to issue $20 civil tickets to anyone who publicly "accosts" another person verbally with profanity.

If I got a ticket there I would probably say "You're fucking shitting me right"?

I would look at that ticket and be like, "incestuous purveyor of maternal coital relations, what kind of vaginal aperture makes this stupid fecal matter up"?

Hey Auto, Whats up brother?

Trying to talk myself into changing the spark plugs on my truck. It's not hard, just a pain in the ass to get to a couple of them. I miss the good 'ol days of working on a vehicle and there was plenty of room to work and no computer shit everywhere.....sigh...:ohwell:

I know what you mean. When I was a kid I worked at a taxi company and did tune ups on them. Checker cars but they had straight six 250 Chevy engines. Lot's of room easy to get to all the plugs and the distributor cap was right on the side so the points and condenser were a piece of cake to get to.

I did so many I still remember the firing order 1-5-3-6-2-4, points set at .017 and plugs at .035. Can't remember the timing though (must be getting old).

I can sort of understand this. If someone is dropping an f-bomb loudly in public, then a few warnings and maybe a fine is a decent idea. I know people will slay this because of censorship and what not, but if my kids were in that town I'd feel good about it.

Yeah, I actually like it. I mean, I cuss up a storm sometimes but I do it with my friends or in my home. I watch myself if there are kids around or if I'm out in public. Not to get old guy on you... but some kids today use fuck like it's a conjunction. And even worse, some parents just let it fly. It's a little out of hand.

I'd comment on this, fuck I'm not really sure what a conjunction is, fuck it doesn't really feel appropriate. SAVE ME, SCHOOL HOUSE ROCK!

How would cops enforce the fine if they aren't around fuck how would you know witnesses weren't just making it up 'cause they didn't like someone?

I really do hate that word. I have typed it here, and certainly said it...but honestly, it's only with sports. They bring out the worst in me. By far.

It's a minor offense. Like speeding tickets or littering fines, I would bet they would only enforce them with an officer present.
