ORIGINAL: Rascalyrabbit I'm just glad we can live in a country where someone can wear what they want and express themselves in anyway they want!! GOD BLESS THE USA In theory, this is true. In practice, not so much. At some jobs, you can be fired (or passed over for a job) if you have too much facial hair, too many visable piercings, long fingernails, or unnaturally colored hair. You can be sent home without pay if you wear the wrong colored outfit or open toed shoes. Sure, you can wear what you want and express yourself the way you want. You can also pay the price for your actions. With freedom comes responsibility. I don't approve of wearing a collar (particularly one involving heavy leather or large locks) to work. Work is where you work. It is where you earn money and bring it home to pay your bills. It has nothing to do with your sexuality or making a statement. For instance, I would never wear my favorite Tshirt to work. It says "Stop bitching. Start a revolution!" I adore it, and I adore the message. But because I work with the public, my favorite tshirt would be considered possibly offensive, and, thus, completely inappropriate. Next time you rant on and on about being yourself in the workplace and wearing your collar with pride, think about all the people who could take your job a bit more seriously, and think more about it than themselves.
