Florida City Enacts Dress Code For Workers Stressing "Strict Personal Hygiene"

[gbmtmas]

For the standard of "Christian Attire" we can let the recently fired and "Christian" former Ms. California, modelling in thong-like attire, be our guide.

"Christian attire"? You mean like Ms. "Saving Traditional Marriage" (A.K.A Carrie Prejean) hooched out in thong-like attire?

I can't believe someone dragged religion into this, it has nothing to do with religion. Just American culture. So far no one has started blaming liberals or conservatives... that's good.
I doubt they are going to have 'inspections'. If the guy next to you stinks, or if you can see boobs through the sheer blouse on your boss... that's not appropriate for the workplace. It's the kind of rule that no one should blink an eye at because they're all thinking, "gee, I do that anyway". So who's complaining? There's jobs with far stricter dress codes than that. If you want the job, follow the dress code or get a new job.

They can't pay the people who run the city's plumbing department enough to enforce this!

makemyday2day - have ya ever thought that some of those Africans may have come to the US and want to follow their own beliefs?

I'm not surprised by this.
I live in the town next to Brooksville and you've never seen such inbred redneck hicks located next to intelligent people. There are more pickup trucks in Brooksville than there are teeth.
I wouldn't wipe my rear with anyone from that town.

Thanks for the heads up!! I think I'll try to avoid this town, thank you very much!

First - I said, "My nose piercing or the way I dress is connected to my faith or my race." In other words, piercing goes with religion and dress goes with race. And you might also want to think about the simple fact that not everybody in your community follows the same belief system as you. Heck, you may even want to learn a little bit more about other cultures and beliefs.

Second - The title of the article is, "No UNDERWEAR, No Deodorant, No Job?" and the first sentence of the article is, "A Florida city is cleaning up with a new dress code that REQUIRES city workers to WEAR UNDERWEAR and use deodorant." Are you simply picking out the parts of the article that fit within your belief system or are you just not paying attention?

And last but not least - My final comment was in regards to the simple fact that this entire country has much bigger issues than telling people how to look and dress. Even here in VA a Virginia Beach member off the house tried to get a law passed outlawing baggy pants though out the entire state . . . and I'm sorry, but I have a problem really big problem with him trying to ban baggy pants while beach goers in his own district can run around in bathing suits that leave absolutely nothing to the imagination. In other words, clean up your own house before you start complaining about the rest of the neighborhood.

Christens have been around for 2000 years, the the Bra for about a 100, no bra needed to be Christian. Kilts have been around for as long as the Scotts, most Scotts are Christians. Oh forgot to tell you, Kilts are traditionaly worn without undergarments. Does that make a Scottsman unchristian. Many peoples throughout the world do not wear "undergarments" are these people pagons? Theocrats in the fashion world, yuck. May I suggest you check your own congregation for the wearing of your approved undies.
