Feel free to post an example of my sub par reading comprehension skills.

Dude, your posts reek of stupidity. People don't call you Beanclown for no reason.

EDIT: Also get your sarcasm detector checked. I was actually agreeing with your point that KSL not showing Hannibal isn't a big deal. Can you comprehend that?

"We" can't go shopping on Sundays? Damn the luck! I swear I bought two gallons of milk from Holiday Oil just last Sunday -- in my suit and tie, no less. And since when do I own a mall?


Ooooh, I get it... You're being your ignorant dumbass self... Gotcha. I'll play along too! "OMG, Teh Mormonz took all of my BEERZ and SMOKEZ! They use their HORNZ0RZ to herd all of their WIVEZ (LOL!!1) into the corral's they ALL have in their back yardz to do that CULT thing!!11 Oh my Glob, how dume can they all bee?!"

There. That felt awesome. Should we do Teh Jewz or Teh Islamz next?!

Wow, I hit a nerve didn't I? I don't care what you do. I try not to go shopping on Sundays, as I am LDS. I just find it funny. There is an exception to EVERY rule.

I went to a funeral of a neighbor and close friend of Elder Holland's. The neighbor committed suicide. He was buried in his temple garments and Elder Holland said he would meet his family in the celestial kingdom. I don't understand what that poor man went through to drive him to suicide, but that's not my job to understand. It is what it is. An exception to the rule.

The point is, there are exceptions, and don't get too worked up about them. Your testimony/opinion shouldn't be based on exceptions to the rule. KSL won't air a show, but a sister station will? It is the exception that KSL has agreed to do business in Utah. Same with no shopping on Sunday, but then having a restaurant use your facilities to be open on Sunday. It's no biggie. It is what it is.

That's the whole point of the Holy Ghost, right?

Man I would be pissed if I lived there. Not that I even care about this show but because some moralizing group controls a major affiliate and makes decisions like this.

But from the article it appears it will be on another OTA station. That's odd. Why do they care that it's on their NBC affiliate but don't care it's on another affiliate?

Actually NBC shares a lot of the blame here too. NBC should have made it mandatory in their contract that all affiliates have to show what they show in primetime or whatever. This would be like going to a McDonald's franchise that doesn't serve a Big Mac for some reason, and the parent corp. doing nothing about it.

My thoughts exactly.

It's not a big deal that the LDS church has a stranglehold on the lives of Utahns? Sure this is a small thing but it's evidence of a larger systemic issue.
 
KSL has been blocking SNL for years. Luckily the CW picked it up a long time ago. But everything now is on demand so this is a non story.

Nope, didn't hit a nerve, just a sore spot. That story of Holland is awesome, by the way. Also, why can't my (or anyone else) testimony be based on exceptions to the rules? If not for certain exceptions, I wouldn't be a member of the LDS church. In fact, I can trace the majority of my faith back to "exceptions" to the standard rules. Thank Glob there are people like Holland these days. Russell M. Nelson on the other hand...

It's a HUGE deal, actually. Without teh Mo's influence, Utah would never sniff all of the top-10 lists that it currently now boasts. The city is clean, the people are kind, the economy is better off than just about anywhere, and Utah and its residents are some of the most giving people in the world.

The state of Utah shows how important religion is to giving, said Peter Panepento, the Chronicle of Philanthropy's assistant managing editor. In Utah, the estimated median contribution was $5,255, as reported to the IRS on itemized tax returns.

The states and communities that tended to give the highest percentage of income to charity were those with high rates of religious participation.

"Utah, far and away, has given the most to charity, with its strong tie to the Mormon religion," he said.

Many religions, including the Mormon faith, encourage or direct believers to give 10 percent, or tithe, from their income to the church.

But, ya, I can see how horrible that stranglehold is -- I feel for you, bro.
