reply (and embedded flame): 

        I dont have a bad neck. As a result, it hates ties anyway.
By the way, I DONT have to wear neckties on "formal occasions". Neither
do you. If a certain group of people is going to judge you by the amount,
color, style, etc. of certain organic or synthetic fibers you stick on 
your body, THEY ARE NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. Neither i nor anybody else has 
any right to dictate fashion unto others. unfortunately it will take 
many more of my kind to dispel the myth of (clothes == personal worth), 
or the even worse predicate it is becoming: (personal worth = clothes)
(note "=" versus "=="). Im sick of the BULLSH*T. Im sick of HS graduates 
that can only read the words "Gloria Vanderbilt", im sick of high-society
rip-offs that can only read "Pierre Cardan" (i dont care if that is the
correct spelling or not) Now before someone flames back "well, we'll just
see how far this one gets", I dont really care. food and a roof are enough.
(well, i like my bicycle) What in the world can you do with a vice-
presidentship, 5 BMW's, 80 hour workweeks, and a Heart Condition? 

Flame Off. (direct replies to net.flame)
