More Horror from Orem Utah

[Kfamr]

Good job guys. Have a bit of respect for other's feelings.

Honestly, I don't see where Amy needs to "lighten up." Some of the comments that have been made were very unnecessary.

I too, a non-Utah resident, was curious as to why there were so many Utah-oriented posts lately.

Seems like a bit of bullying to me.

I agree. I read this board before anyone deleted their post. Good job for making someone respected want to leave. Real nice..

I saw this thread when it first went up. I thought it inane and silly but that happens.

Utah is different from other states in that 70% of the population belongs to one religion...I suspect...jokes about the state might feel differently in that case.

I have said before I think sometimes people can be overly sensitive. However, in this instance I was disappointed that, when the thread CLEARLY hurt someone...the response was not am "I am sorry for offending you..." In fact it was precisely the kind of non-apology apology the originator of this thread would make jokes about if a politician or an actor said it.

But then I have never saw the humor in the first place. A cop did something stupid. Wow....

This is the first time I've ever noticed a thread mentioning Utah. Maybe I missed it among all the joke postings.

RICHARD...you want horror in news stories?

Welcome to southern Alberta in bland Canada. Details in the Medicine Hat post.

let's review,

The point of this post was to warn anyone with a brown lawn from traveling to U***.

Now,
Go back and read the Utah Threads and tell me where the "vendetta" comes from.

I have no control over the threads that people open or their reaction to them.

I think the problem lies with the media for reporting stories about events in the state.

Had a PM been sent to me I probably would not have made any more comments.

For anyone that reads or looks at any news based programs you will notice that there are times when goofy news stories shift areas, states or countries.

Utah hardly ever appears in the newspaper for any reason at all, so when you see it mentioned a couple of times in the space of a few weeks I wonder
what is going on.

Having flown over, driven around and having spoken to a few people from that state, it really doesn't show up on my radar, nor would it unless I read about it in the newspaper/internet.

Please feel free to post any comments or crap that I made regarding Utah.

And attach an apology, if you please.

This thread shocks me.

It was just a joke.

People make fun of Tennessee and hillbillies and rednecks all the time, but you don't see me getting offended do you?

It was just a joke.. and we should all take it as a joke. And not go overboard or attack anybody.

I think you hurt Utah's feelings, Richard. Why don't you apologize..
