On this issue he's right. There is a perception that any Mormon plans to go back

You don't find it just a tad bit ironic that he's doing the same thing he is

If his only point is that people are lame when they try to live near family or

The irony is that he is from NJ and has returned to the area to live

How so?

Living close to where he grew up.

That's only part of the situation

Just seems like people are painting with a really broad brush

It isn't limited to Mormons. People tend to settle where they are comfortable...

kccougar

8/9/18 10:22am

Of course not. But it's an added layer for Mormons.

garyfan

8/9/18 10:26am

This is more or less what I was going for.

TCuz

8/9/18 10:27am

It'll be better though once you're gone

mobius

Lots of unnecessary defensiveness when the topic of Utah comes up on CB.

garyfan

8/9/18 10:31am

I can't imagine why

kccougar

8/9/18 10:33am

Only because Mormons who didn't grow up in Utah love to bag on Utah so much.

benny1982

8/9/18 10:33am

There's some of that, for sure. But it seems that every time someone says Utah

garyfan

8/9/18 10:49am

It's one thing if someone wants to have a discussion on the quirks of Utah

mobius

8/9/18 11:00am

He made a legitimate point about Utah that shouldn't be offensive (even if you

Right. If I can not get upset at people bagging on New Jersey,

May not have been the main point, but any time you include incendiary

8/9/18 11:12am

Way to go condescending. That's awesome.

Oh please. He was condescending with his OP, so why doesn't he get

benny1982

8/9/18 11:16am

But it's the second point that people are going to react to because he meant it

benny1982

8/9/18 11:11am

Are you from Utah? If so, you're kind of making my point.

garyfan

8/9/18 11:14am

Making your point by arguing that including an attack in a post where that

benny1982

8/9/18 11:17am

Also, I will concede that Utahns on here CAN be overly defensive. I just thought

benny1982

8/9/18 11:30am

I’m just saying you seem really defensive about this.

garyfan

8/9/18 12:59pm

Just defending my argument, like you did with yours.

benny1982

8/9/18 1:08pm

When I do it's one thing, but when you do it it's defensiveness.

garyfan

8/9/18 1:50pm

Has a lot to do with who and how it is posted. People get tired of the trolling...

kccougar

8/9/18 12:30pm

Especially for a dude from New Jersey

8/9/18 12:32pm

Agreed. My observation isn’t limited to this thread.

garyfan

8/9/18 12:57pm

Then we are all on the same page.

kccougar

When people have that attitude about Utah, it makes me really happy that they

Exactly...

CoachSpeak

Agreed

But it's okay for you to be back in the area where you grew up. Got it 😉

Someone from Jersey bagging on Utahans - that's funny.

COACHdrn

8/9/18 10:14am

Of course it's at least partly to live near family. And that's ok.

garyfan

Ok....

There is a reason people want to be in Utah and not hell holes like NJ.

Someone from Jersey doesn't know what is like to have a place people actually want to move back to. Give him a break.

If your mother loved you you too would probably want to live by her.

Utah being one of the fastest growing states has little to do with people moving back.
