He’s absolutely right about that one.

My favorite LDS-Catholic joke? “The pope says he’s perfect but no catholic believes it. The LDS prophet says he’s not perfect but no LDS believes it either.” A stake president told me that one.

I never thought we’d see an American-ish pope.

Universal just opened Epic Universe down here. We can’t wait to go.

That’s cool. I get the British confused with the Irish. The Scots. The Welsh. Those from Jupiter.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Florida jokes make us cry. All the way to Disney. 😜

I’m with her. My wife and I have annual passes. Like I’ve mentioned my Melissa and I are hosting a 15 year old German girl. We took her on a road trip for Spring Break and went from Florida to NH to Kansas City to Florida. When we told her she traveled over 4000 miles and saw less than half the country she was stunned.

I’ve always liked your screen name. Same with @mirkwood

Yes and no. We have 22 million people in our state so sure, we’ll have more bad apples than Iowa or West Virginia. We also love our freedom down here. When I go to Rockville (a large music festival) you’ll see people crowd surfing and moshing holding signs that “ban” both activities. Also, Tampa and Miami are known for wild parties, especially when our sports teams win . So do we like to party? You betcha. We also have all types of people down here. Florida is enormous and the cultures are very different in this state. You’ll have small town kids who have never left the county (true) living in the same state as the typical cosmopolitan elitist in Miami, Jacksonville, etc. Not to mention we have academics in world class universities, rich athletes, poor people, Cuban migrants, old people…. So, if you come to Florida thinking all of wrestle alligators, commit felonies, and live in trailers you’ll be very disappointed. On a personal note, no, I’m not a Florida man. I can’t change a tire, have never been arrested for a felony, attacked an alligator or rescued kayakers from an upcoming hurricane. Sorry bro.

I think it is for a lot of us. It’s a virtual ward for me.

Dude awesome thread.

This is my second name. I’m a huge University of Florida fan, and their mascot is an alligator. My first name here was “MormonGator”. The profile pic is an alligator who jumped on boat and it looked like it was waving. It did not happen to me, I found it on a random site somewhere.

Oh, totally agree. When one party has virtually iron clad control over the state, what do you expect? Same applies to Texas/Florida republicans, Massachusetts/California democrats, etc.

https://www.andrewcuomo.com He’s running for mayor of New York City now. Yikes.

Agree there 100%.

Couldn’t agree more. And guess what? LDS men don’t women a thing either. Now, with the church becoming so mainstream LDS men/women can find dates and spouses outside the church very easily. In this case, sure. I’m with you. But showing someone the door is a very dangerous strategy. For all you know they’ll call your bluff and might thrive. I saw that happen with a returned missionary who was told she wasn’t welcome in the church due to her politics. She said “Okay”-and she’s doing so well that other RM’s saw her and had issues with their own faith. Granted, it’s a small case and just my personal experiences. It’s like asking your boss to fire you or your girlfriend to leave you. Once she’s packing her bags and once you are cleaning out your desk you’ll begin to think “Gee, maybe I should have handled that differently.”

@Ironhold-just to double down, tell that guy about Russell M. Nelson, Dallin H. Oaks, Henry B. Eyring, and Dieter F. Uchtdorf. I guess they are worthless to the church too because none of them served missions.

And as far as I’m concerned, his statement is of no worth. So don’t worry about it.

I was kidding. Lifelong fan. I’ve read Watchman several times, but it was 25 years ago.

Never heard of it. Not into comics much. I understand where you are coming from, to some degree. It’s usually white people whining about organic food, talking about natural cures, etc. It’s their way of bragging about how rich they are without actually bragging about how rich they are.

I do think some hawk “natural cures” and know it’s snake oil. We all have families to feed but those are type of people are lower than common thieves. At least a thief doesn’t tell you he can cure your stage 4 cancer with peach pits.

I try not to attribute to malice what I can attribute to ignorance and stupidity. The natural health people mean well but are way off base. I think a minority of conspiracy theorists are the same. Mostly well meaning, but that doesn’t mean they are right. I absolutely think the majority of conspiracy theorists want to show off, pretend they are smarter than everyone else, have a martyr complex, etc

That’s awful. I’m so sorry bro. I lost two dogs to cancer and it’s a staggering blow.

you are correct of course, but that doesn’t matter. If someone wants to believe in some grand conspiracy where the WHO is controlling everything there’s precious little you can do to convince them otherwise. If I was more diabolical I’d spend my time making up wild claims, labeling them as “conspiracies”, telling people large groups are out to get them, sit back and watch. Maybe some day.
