That's certainly true as I am always in a suit - even on airplanes. When you work with money it is expected of you to look the part I guess.

So... you (all) insert the msmbc chip and pull the string to rattle off the banal liberal blather of the last election? "He looks like a suit"? I see people at Disneyland seriously over dressed (in my opinion) at very visit. Many Asian and European professionals still dress the way we all used for any significant public event. I see women in evening dress with spiky 4" heels, 10" hair and little beaded evening bags... are you going to make fun of them? worse in my opinion is the number of people I see with their cheeks hanging out of one side of their clothing and the their cleavage from the other, in my opinion entirely inappropriate for anything but a night club, and a cheap on at that. If Michelle O showed up would you comment on her dressing like she thinks she is 16? With a bunchy belt in the middle or her thong undies showing through the clingy back of her dress? Or the nasty t-shirts and inappropriate behavior I saw at "gay days" and "bat days", the concept of turning a day at Disneyland into a private party without consideration to all the others who saved and traveled to see "Disneyland" find themselves in a private event they never expected with characters in dress Disneyland never designed. I'm disappointed to not more respect for a guest at the park and more sense. I'm sorry to see such bad manners and petty politics as the excuse to ridicule a guest. If it makes you feel good to take cheap shots at a guest on a public message board... will guests all become a target or only conservatives? Christians are good targets these days, make fun of any one wearing a cross and you will be thought cool... Dears, it is the same thing as making fun of someone who is fat or short, or a different race, or different in any way, made acceptable by a twist of mindset, it is still bullying no matter what justification chris matthews or micheal moore has thought of to justify it. It is unkind and inappropriate. I'm disappoint to see so many without the manners and sense to be more thoughtful. but not entirely surprised

Originally Posted By berol It isn't bullying if they never hear it. That word is getting stretched beyond it's real definition, like "hero" has. I have no clue what DFTT means, either. "Did fine, thanks though." "Darling, feel that tomorrow." "Disney fancies Tennessee Tuxedo."
Originally Posted By Dabob2 It means "don't feed the troll." But just to set the factual record straight on the Romney hair-cutting story, it did indeed happen. The victim's sister said he never told her it happened, but she admitted that "Even if it did happen, John probably wouldn’t have said anything." Several other people AT the school, however, corroborated that it did indeed happen. <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/sister-of-alleged-romney-target-has-no-knowledge-of-any-bullying-incident/" target="_blank">http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/po...ncident/</a>
