The ultimate wear for fashion! Jock, sunglasses and sandals. If you are going to a formal dinner or for work, put on a tie! LOL

I was the bugler for a military funeral at Quantico and one of the (mourning?) civilian attendees showed up shirtless. If I were the padre conducting the funeral at this hallowed cemetary, I would have taken the shirtless idiot aside before the funeral and told him that his inappropriate attire could not be allowed to demean the dead heroes of that hallowed ground. Inappropriate dress is one thing, but disrespect of our military should not to be tolerated. The other civilian members were attired and THEY should have had the sense to reprimand this clod for his unseemly (un)dress.

You are so right about that. That shirtless boob should have been immediately indoctrinated into the military; let him serve those he disrespected. Nobody in this country deserves more respect than those that serve. Regardless if we agree with or disagree with what the military is doing, those that are serving are putting their lives on the line for our freedom and deserve our utmost respect. I, as a citizen of this country apologize to the family and soldiers that have served for this heartless idiot and extend a warm hand and thank you to all who have worn the uniform. And I apologize also for the boob in the white house who has no respect for those that serve under his hand, and the vets he so terribly disrespects.

Bet the guy in Starbucks had no idea what path his yellow bow tie would lead people down. Interesting.

The shirtless civilian could be a vet with PTSD? Don't be too quick to judge. You don't know anything about him except his gender and he was shirtless.

Like it or not, we have been indoctrinated into believing that we have to dress a certain way to convey a certain message. I think it's pretty sad that we are so ignorantly programmed, and that we don't accept the humanity of folks who don't look or dress as we do.
Back in high school, I read "Black Like Me," a book written by a white who disguised himself as African American. It was an apt portrayal of bigotry, hatred, and prejudice based on appearances.
It's okay to dress well and look good. It's unfair to judge others by appearances, rather than actions.

I agree completely but there are times where we put our personal feelings on the way side and show respect to others and their families. If the shirtless guy was PTSD and a vet, he would have known that and in all likely hood appeared in uniform or a suit. They are not ignorant, just can't adjust back into society but one thing I would think they do understand is military protocol.

I'm not sure why I'm still following this thread as it has stemmed far from it's original content, which I thought was posted with a humorous intent. Going from a guy with a yellow bow tie in Starbucks to a shirtless person at a military funeral seems a bit of stretch.
I agree that certain occasions (business meetings, funerals, weddings, etc.) dictate a particular "uniform" as a matter of respect for the event, if not the individual, but my own experiences lead me not to judge those who don't comply with the "rules".

With those colours you would have to think he was an Aussie.

No problem with the bow tie per se, but a yellow one? and a pastel green shirt? The lad needs someone to check him out before he leaves the house.

I agree. As a teen the thing that turned me off to "organized religion" was the group of well dressed church ladies who would sit and criticize the "less well to do" on what they wore into a house of worship. Pure bigotry and snobbery.The church was in a middle class neighborhood, but near a housing project. Later, i watched as the assistant minister, who ran the youth group, was transferred when he became too poplar and a threat to the lead minister.

You found the bat patrol in those church ladies. Every church has them and I personally believe it was this group of women who decided that having gas (farts) was not funny. That's why men always laugh at them and women don't!
