Now I just had to look up the booze laws in Utah. They were actually very similar to the ones we have in Norway, so I`d take the max and move to the city of Utah at once.
** What if? Lebron and the Jazz/ is it that off track??**

Been to New England, it's not weird.
Never been to the south. But from what I've read/heard many parts are still 200 years behind the rest of the country.
But none are as weird as utah. Utah is the closest thing you'll find to a theocracy in the country.

Better than the dictatorship we have in California.

Whatever the dems want, they get. There is only one viable party in the state.

I have lived in Utah, California, Oregon, DC, Indiana and South Dakota. As far as weird goes, South Dakota takes the cake.

Is Utah weirder than Idaho?
IF I had a choice, I'd probably move to Texas. Wife and I have discussed it. But don't worry...I won't desert the Jazz and become a Rocket, Mav or Spurs fan. And I DETEST the Cowboys.

I'd ban you for life if you did.

And I would deserve that ban.
I've lived in CT, Florida, Texas, Virginia, Utah, CA, and now NH. I've traveled to every state including Hawaii(Maui and Oahu) and Alaska. There are good and bad everywhere you go. However, I would have a very hard time living most anywhere in the South except maybe New Orleans or Charleston, SC, Virginia is nice too. There are some wonder natural beauty in the South but it is the evangelical people that really make it difficult to live. I don't think they are 200 years behind but maybe 100. There is still open racism much more than I've experienced in other parts of the country.
New England especially NH still has this Puritan mind set that is annoying sometimes and you can understand how the Salem Witch hunt went down. However, it isn't so much in your face as it is in the South or Utah. Utah especially Provo is a place like no other. However, the Catholics have a strong influence in Boston, like the Jews do in NY and Hollywood and the Baptist and Evangelicals do in the South and MidWest. I agree that Utah is the closest to being a theocracy only because it is more open about it, but in the South the "Christian coalition" has just as big of influence over more states.
The comment about CA, I lived there twenty years and I don't know what you are talking about it being run as a dictatorship. The state has both republicans and democrats lead the state, I guess right now if you are a republican you don't like it but me personally, it is my favorite state even with it being over crowded and costly. You just can't beat the weather. It isn't everyone's cup of tea, but that is ok because there are 49 other states to choose from (all have good things to enjoy).
Back on topic, there is no way that Lebron would come to Utah, unless the Jazz could clone Stockton and Malone in their prime and even that might not be enough. As our team is right now I doubt Lebron wants to be on a rebuilding team. Now there is a rumor that Lebron might sign a two year deal which would be great if the Jazz team is more developed then the chances might increase. However, I don't see any realistic scenario which has Lebron landing in Utah.

LeBron on a young Utah team. I think we are stages ahead of any Cav team constructed back when Bron was there. You think he'd say no, but all it takes is adding LeBron and this is a guaranteed 55 win team. A young team that will run opponents out of Utah night in and night out. The ESA louder than 1997.. LeBron would have a sold out ESA ever night.

I've lived in Texas, DON't GO!!! Just joking, if you think CA is a dictatorship than you might fit in TX. Talk about a dictatorship. Unless you live in Austin the state is run by big Oil and the GOP. Like I said before everyone can find their slice of heaven somewhere. I do like the chicken fried steak with white gravy in Texas. Girls are pretty but you are married so not an issue. Don't move to Houston, it might not be Hell but it is right next door.
You can wake up now! Lebron doesn't want to be on a rebuilding team no matter how talented you think they are. Beside I don't Lebron wants to play in the West considering how tough it is to just make the playoffs and get to the Finals. In the East, right now he basically has to worry about Indy and maybe Chicago if Rose could stay healthy which is a BIG IF.

Arnold was not really a Republican. He ran as one to get elected and we bought it. But he was a Kennedy, 100%. CA has been tax and spend for two decades.

Anyone who thinks Lebron might not laugh his *** off at the very mention of Utah, doesn't know squat about Lebron. But kudos to you for sticking to the topic, unlike these other morans.
Now, since the topic is completely laughable, let's get back to where we all lived and how weird those places are/were. For me, it's been Utah, Colorado, Mississippi, Missouri, Washington and North Dakota. Out of those I favor Washington first and SLC second. North Dakota is a giant poop hole. If I ever have to travel to Minnesota, I'll go out of my way to drive around N. Dakota. I'm never setting foot, or wheels, there ever again.
You're absolutely right. And Utah has the perception of being a really ****ing weird place. Kind of the same wrap Scientology gets. That said, I've been to SLC numerous times and even while being the state's most populous state, it's a ****ing weird place.
Nah, bro. That's the least of it's weirdness.
This is exactly it.
Crime and drug use is not weird, it's just a part of life. Most big cities have crime, poverty and drug use.
Hi Loggy!
Uniqueness? That's a good way of putting it.
