I would rather live in UT than Namibia too. But at least there would be mormons in Namibia on their mission trying to convert people too.

dude, just shut up. you haven't lived here, you don't know what it is like.
we are ridiculously close to skiing, biking, rock climbing, backpacking, river rafting, and what ever you feel like doing. the mormons in this state make up less then half percent, and leave you alone for the most part.
but you stick to whatever you think and stay out, we don't need you

I think they make up more than half a percent.

Their viewpoints, their way of life, their 10% tithing, and their idea of forcing it on other cultures instead of actually helping them.

Ok maybe you don't like the Mormon religion but that doesn't make the state Utah any worse then any other. I'd much rather live here in Utah then most any other state. Don't knock Utah until you actually experience the better part of the state (SLC/PC Areas) Southern Utah is pretty sick but nothing compared to Salt Lake or surrounding areas.

SLC tribune said in 2004 it was 62.4%, learn about your own shitty state.

i like utah. i have lived here for about 7 months, and even though skiing is winding down, i still enjoy it here.
i live in slc (actually one of the 'bad' parts of slc, but that's a different story), and i have found that people are generally nice, helpful, and friendly.
judging an entire state based on the religion of its residents is unintelligent. saying utah sucks because mormons suck is the same as saying new york city is filled with foreskin clippings because of all the jews that live there.
i realize that utah is viewed as an exception, being that the state was founded, and still stands on principles that are congruent with the mormon faith, but once you settle in and learn how things really work, especially in slc, you realize that the mormon influence only becomes an issue if you make it one.
plus, as far as influence on policy and laws is concerned, utah is taking huge strides in re-evaluating many laws perceived to be mormon-directed, including the much maligned liquor and private club laws.
i am not mormon, but every lds member i have met here has been, again, friendly and kind. none of them have tried to "force" their religion on me, and as they respect my lifestyle choices, i respect theirs.
i think the fundamental issue you have with utah, is that being such a shitty person at the core of your being, you can't handle a place where there are no real reasons to hate on anyone or anything, so you vocalize your frustration with your juvenile pent up rage by shouting a moronic, unfounded "mormons suck utah sucks" rhetoric from your soapbox on ns.com.

"some one" should take a spelling class before he runs his mouth off about education.
i know compound words can be tough, but if you study hard, take your medicine, and wear your helmet at all times to provent further brain injury, you can try to fit in and be normal, just like all the other kids!

things that blow about utah:
3.2% alcohol available outside the liquor stores--and no kegs
make the tobacco age 19 instead of the nationwide 18
everything is closed on sundays
people suck ass at driving
no lottery
lots of religion.
overall, the religion is there, but try and name a state that doesn't have religion. utah just happens to have a huge concentration of mormons, which end up in a really clean place. they are mostly on the north side of SLC and in provo. and honestly, i have lived in utah and you can't really tell who is mormon and who isn't unless you go downtown on a sunday. then all the people dressed up outside the huge temple are the mormons.
i haven't been forced to convert yet nor do i think i ever will. mormons are more respectable people than most. they aren't going door to door everyday asking you to follow their ways, they are just there to express their religion with others.
provo may be a different story than SLC because it is like 98% mormom. but its not like they are out to ruin your way of living because you aren't mormom.
yea the laws suck here and it is kind of a culture of its own....but think about the skiing thats here. nationally and globally known resorts--alta and PC. once you ride the powder here, you wont want anything else. and it doesn't come in the 1-2 inch increments, it dumps here usually. PC is known for the diverse and technical features and prime park conditions.
i just dont get the point of hating on a state that offers some of the best skiing beause of the religious concentration there. in the end, sundays are epic days to ride because everyone is in church. and in reality, you can go to wyoming to get a keg and lotto tickets, people suck ass at driving everywhere, religion isn't noticable unless you go and search for it, sundays are for skiing--not shopping. overall, utah isn't that bad. the skiing is incredible and mormon people aren't bad.

i read your entire post, and i totally agree with a lot of the points you made disputing "facts" about utah that people have heard.
these three points above stand out in any argument, and in my experience moving from wisconsin (a state that knows a little bit about drinking and the such), utah is really no different than any other state on these things.
3.2 beer- utah measures beer by volume and most other states do it by weight. the actual difference between utah and wisconsin is that drinking a six pack in utah is like drinking 5 beers in wisconsin. if the fun of your night depends on your being one miller lite drunker, just have 7 and it's like a six pack for you
no kegs- the keg thing does blow, but for the most part, kegs are for underage house parties. when you are old enough to go to a bar legally, it becomes a small part of the issue, and if you have the kind of friends that don't bring beer to a party, it sucks to be you anyway.
tobacco age- everyone knows this is a joke anyway, there is always a gas station that doesn't card. if you are a smoker who is under 18 you find ways to get cigs. having to do it one more year is a hassle, but it doesnt mean the state and all mormons suck because of it.
everything is closed on sundays- again, not true. there aren't many places i go that are closed on sundays (grocery store, gas station, ski resorts, rei, etc...), and those that are aren't really that much of an inconvience. plus, the roads are empty on sunday mornings, which is great. (utards are terrible, terrible drivers, that is true)
on a similar topic, you can buy beer at gas stations in utah all night long. even in wisconsin, in the county i grew up in, you can't buy beer after 9 pm except at a bar for full bottle price, so in that regard, utah is better than the part of wisconsin i grew up in.
utah is a fun place to live with access to resorts you can not get anywhere else, and more snow than anybody deserves. the
if you dont like it, good. more powder for us.

^Like he said about 3.2 beer, its not even a big deal, just dont be a vagina about it and drink 2-3 more beers, thats all it takes. Beer is ridiculously easy to get too, easier than i have ever been able to get it. And kegs, sure they don't sell them in utah, but that doesn't stop anyone from driving an hour and a half at the most round trip to wyoming to buy kegs, people do it alot and its dope.
If you hate on utah and you don't live here, you're probably very ignorant and have no idea what you are talking about.

the only time its tough to be in utah and not mormon is when your a wee little kid. thats it. once your in middle school that shit doesnt matter. plenty of chicks ready to get their freak on and even if the girl is a mormon once you get her to "let go" a little bit she is the wildest philly you've ever met.
some seriously freaky chicks..... you just gotta work that lil bit extra harder/.
