1. I kinda like wearing ties at my job, since I wore one much of my life. Don’t know the point of it in a call center, though. 2. There are people in Florida who wear ties? Doesn’t that go against the whole point of Florida? 3. Except in Sarasota, where clown ties are all the rage. ---

Post count too low. Check. Troll. Check How come not banned yet. Check Must be a Repulsivecan. Check. Check his posting history. Check. Yada yada yada. Check. Sorry I don’t fit your little mold of a “Doper”. Well actually I’m not sorry because I would never refer to myself as a “Doper”. And I’m no more affiliated with repulsive republicans then I am with whiny ass bleeding heart libs. But whatever floats your boat to believe. For the record I hate you all the same whether your a whitetrash redneck hillbilly cracker, a crack selling ghetto nigger, a wetback beaner border jumper, a slant eyed gook chink, a camel jockey garlick breathed arab, a towel head, a dot head… ah, hell… you get the picture. As far as I’m concerned it would be a better world with just animals and the rest of us wiped off the face of the earth. ESPECIALLY DOPERS… BWAHAHAHAHA… ---

Seems to me that with just a teeny bit of effort, that R in FLORIDA could be made to resemble an ample bosom over a skirt. Would people be happy if we just gender stereotyped equally? ---

In other news, [the logo apparently cost](http://www.nbcnews.com/business/florida-answers-critics-sexist-logo-its-just-cartoon-1B8255394) $380,000s. So people offended by it can at least comfort themselves with the knowledge that it cost a lot of money. ---

This lame-ass logo is the LEAST of Florida’s problems. The first thing to do is give Governor Voldemort Scott the boot, and hire some kids in graphic design classes at Florida’s colleges the chance to whip up something better for some cash. ---

I wear a tie to work (mainly non-customer facing), but I wear ties during my leisure time as well. I don’t pretend it’s to look professional, but it does partly cover up my non-ironed shirts. If I were made to wear a polo shirt, I’d be unhappy, so I’m for workplaces mandating clean clothes that don’t make you look like some kind of Halloween party refugee or sports team mascot, and leave it up to discretion from there. ---
