When you look around you what do you see? Living in the state of Utah my whole entire life has braught many mixed feelings to the surface of my head. What does it mean to be a Utah rebel? What are we? Who are we? Perhaps rather then asking myself if I am a Utah rebel I should ask myself if I qualify as a Rebel at all? What are we rebelling against? Why? When you say Utah and Religion in the same sentence a lot of issues come up. I am not a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. I think this immediately qualifies me as a minority here salt lake where I live. One thing that has always been a series issue for me has been "The church" If you are not a morman then you are treated differently. I remember growing up in the church and how I felt like I had to be "Morman" I wanst left with a feeling of choice. My parents were my neighbors were my friends were. How could something so omni present in my life be so wrong right? Well a few years later I grew up. One thing that pisses me off is self rightous mormans that have no respect or regard for other religious beleifs, lifestyles and practices. Another thing that pisses me off is anti morman sentiment. We can talk shit about The church of jesus christ of latter day saints all day and all night. Some of its true. Some of it just spills from our mouths out of bitterness and frustration. Think about it. We have the church welfare program. Religion? Opium for the masses? Maybe. What is so wrong with having a strong moral wall to lean back on? I dont know. If we hate Utah so bad because of the church then why are we still here? The truth is its reallly not as bad as we say it is. Maybe its fair to hate the organization but not the person. Complaining Why is everything in Utah closed so early? How come there isnt a 24 hour mall or some place to hang out that isnt a Bar after 10pm in all of salt lake and utah county? The mall closes at 9pm everywhere in utah. Its like they dont want people of the night to be able to buy stuff at a comfortable hour. I Have never been comfortable with how early things close around here. But I am still here. HOw come the job market in utah sucks? Unless you want a job from convergys your pretty much screwed unless you already have a degree and the fact of the matter is pople with degrees still seem to have problems getting jobs anywhere in utah. The education you can get here is good but I am finding out more and more that i am going to have to move out of Utah if I want a job that pays more then 8 dollars an hour and isnt a Telecommunications job. I am sure I have more to complain about. But I am going to go back to work. ';,.,;' Post a comment in response: |
