Possibly, but when we were in Salt Lake City for four days, six years ago, the room we stayed in had no Book of Mormon. (Maybe we were lucky.) I remember SLC, although not with fondness. Their jail was very clean though. Crazymother****ers insulted my non-white wife and I had to bend. a couple of heads. This was about 1970, now they've changed their evil ways I hear. Mor(m)onism is an excuse to molest children for little but a tithe. While we were there, we didn't cross paths with many of them, except on the Saturday morning we headed downtown to ZCMI and walked up the couple of blocks to Temple Square, where a couple of weddings had occurred that morning. Sunday, we headed down to South Towne Center in Sandy, and a number of the merchants in the mall were open for business. (This was in 2001, about nine months before the Winter Olympics came to town.) My wife and I were traveling the US, now that i think about it the year was 1971. We arrived in SLC just after a conference and at that time downtown was chock full of huge motels with like 600 rooms. We went to three and each time they were "full" although there may have been a dozen, max, cars in the parking lot. This was because my wife is brown. The third motel was staffed by young men. As we left one whispered to his friend "and take your wetback with you." At that time I was just 2 years out of the service and bodybuilding with a very short fuse, I decked him with one punch and was duking it out with the second while the counter clerk called the police. The police were very good Mor(m)ons. I spent two nights in the slammer until my attorney convinced them that negative publicity would be bad for Utah. I've not been back since and have nothing but scorn for Mor(m)ons. They've apparently toned it down a bit in the three decades since then - and just our luck, we were in SLC on Easter of 2001. We spent that day at South Towne Center, as I mentioned, and after lunch we headed east on I-80 up Parley's Canyon, got a good look from several hundred feet above Echo Lake, then up I-84 by the Devil's Slide, and then down US 89 from south Ogden back into the city. There were a number of non-whites in the suburbs...but I don't remember seeing any of them in either of the Jordans. We also went up to the Brigham Young state park and monument on Saturday, which had a fairly mixed group for the festivities. Early on Friday, we headed up to the Golden Spike national historical park, then cut over through Tremonton to get back to I-15 to go up to Malad City...and in the small towns up along tne northern Wasatch, it was basically a Klansman's dream. Needless to say, we didn't stop in any of those villages. In the 70's blacks weren't even allowed in the church, the were viewed asanimals, not people. Even now blacks, according to 3rd hand info, aren't permitted the same rights within the church although the crooks demand 10% of their earnings. Women are extremely subservient and expected to make lots of babies and shut the **** up. Even when 2nd nd 3rd wives are taken, STFU. Mor(m)onism, yet another bunch of crazymother****ers. -- Regards, Curly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ https://thegreen.stanleylieber.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Hotels Replacing Bibles With "Intimacy Kits"

wrote: Do you ask for a credit for towels, bathrobes, or soap that you don't use? Those can be considered in some sense necessities. Condoms aren't. But I was also making a comparison to those who were complaining that Bibles were in the room when the hotel isn't even paying for those. Some seemed to quite offended that there are Bibles. Others can get offended by condom kits. "Daddy, what's that balloon?" |

Marriott actually has them. Even in Europe. I'm not Mormon and don't understand the religion. I find them disturbingly secretive actually. But I'm not offended that Mormon literature is there. |

No, they are duty bound by the bible to kill anyone who wears mixed fabrics. That is far more reasonable. |

The actions of the government in Sudan are in no way similar to the words of an individual in Boulder. If these individuals in Boulder tried to act on their words, do you believe that the Denver government would applaud them? Do you believe that the government of Sudan has any such problems? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |
