Until you have to turn half of it into a sewing room...
"The ski industry did help liberalize the drinking laws and helped diversity somewhat."
You say that like those are good things rather than neither-good-nor-bad. Liberalized drinking laws can mean more fun (good) and more crime and traffic deaths (bad). "Diversity" can mean more exposure to different types of people (good) or tension between differing cultural values (bad).
I think the Mormons are a little nutty, but then again, I think all religions are. The Mormons just seem to have their sh*t together more than any other ethnic/religious group. I'd vote for Mitt in a heartbeat. And Utah sounds like one of the best places on Earth to live.

You're right, they don't know anything about diversity. It's just a mantra.
You'll find more diversity at a Baptist church picnic than at a Berkeley faculty meeting.

"Actually liberal Vancouver B.C....has a very low crime rate."
Wrong again, Twiggy.

"Between the two Vancouver or Salt Lake I would choose Vancouver and Seattle over Salt Lake."
The people of Salt Lake are undoubtedly grateful.

"You are such a hyprocrite and dare I say a wimp who loves to dish it out but crys to his mama when it comes back."
He's crying? Huh. Well, I guess there's two ways to read his post - how it's written, and kpaul-filtered.

Well, I guess I can't argue with that kind of piercing logic.

Re: You have something against diversity?
Didn't you learn your lesson about that crap before? Go read my post about "diversity" being neither good nor bad. Then tell me what kind of autistic clump of neurons would ask, "You have something against diversity"?
I'll repeat it for you. Try not to get a lip cramp sounding out the words: Diversity is neither good nor bad.
On the other hand, judging from your post, you seem to have LOADS of issues with certain types of people...

Re: You have something against diversity?
Oh, and by the way - how "diverse" is that neighborhood you live in? Aside from the occasional young-person-of-color who comes to visit?
And here's some fun facts from the US Census Bureau. Feel free to reply "B.S.":
Washington State - 77% white non-Hispanic.
Utah - 83% white non-Hispanic.
Seattle - 70% white, 5% Hispanic.
Salt Lake City - 79% white, 18% Hispanic.
Yeah, you're really kicking ass in the diversity stakes. Utah is a kleig light and you're a regular friggin' rainbow.

"Have you ever been to Seattle? Much more divers that Boston."
SEATTLE:
White 70%
Asian 13%
Hispanic 5%
Black 8%
BOSTON:
White 54%
Asian 7%
Hispanic 14%
Black 25%
Do you EVER get tired of making a fool of yourself? Ever?

"Jeebus, you'd think you invented Seattle, you're so proud of it."
From bestplaces.net:
Seattle, WA, violent crime, on a scale from 1 (low crime) to 10, is 6. Violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The US average is 3.
Seattle, WA, property crime, on a scale from 1 (low) to 10, is 7. Property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. The object of the theft-type offenses is the taking of money or property, but there is no force or threat of force against the victims. The US average is 3.
Kpaul's definition of "low crime." Is he ever right?
Now he'll tell us how it's only certain areas that "skew" it, as if every city doesn't have good and bad sections.

Re: You have something against diversity?
I told you - US Census Bureau. You can't find that in your awesome search engines?
BTW, you seriously are going to crush a vertebrate with all that goalpost moving you do.
