Why are mormons from Utah so arrogant?

I swear Lds from outside of Utah are better than Utahs

for instance I had a friend who moved to Utah for BYU, she came back to visit her family here in Texas. She is different, now she talks with a " better than you" tone. And complaining how utah is soo much better than this dump and blah blah blah. And she had the nerve to say " It soo weird being around with a lot of 'colored' people". She is hispanic herself. Another instance was my other friend thinks she's better bc she lives in Utah and all her sisters are in BYU. She didn't straight out said it, but again you can tell from tone of voice.

I went to Utah before sure they're nice people but there also a lot of arrogant people especially in SLC. I love Utah for the weather and terrain but not for the people.Why are mormons from Utah so arrogant?
When I was a Mormon, there was no way I would move to Utah just because I don't like being around Utah Mormons.

Now that I'm an ex-Mormon, I want to stay away from there 10x as much.

I guess it just goes to show what kind of place the world would be if everyone was a Mormon, imagine a world where everywhere was Utah. Scary.
Why are Yahoo users so arrogant to criticise each knickknack what can somebody imagine or not imagine about people who tried to be kind and polite to everybody?

I think to be arrogant has nothing to do with religion or idiology but with character and behavoir. Also Mormons are human beings with mistakes. And their goal should be to work on to reduce these faults. Probably your friend is young. Give her time to grow up. Some need all their life.Why are mormons from Utah so arrogant?
but shes from texas? right?

i think that because mormons are congregated together in larger groups in utah, it gives them more confidence and makes them more extreme in their viewpoints. this is a common 'mob mentality' when any group has large numbers. they become more confident, extreme and daring in their common views. thats just what i think.




you say:
"I swear Lds from outside of Utah are better than Utahs"

and THEY, are the arrogant ones?
So um, I have a teacher that's Mormon(or I had) and she's from Utah. Ok, I'm in the eighth grade, so I don't know much about Mormons, but she was amazing. Like, she was super nice and really fun to be around. But now she moved BACK to Utah. So what I'm basically saying is that not all Mormons are like that. But I DO agree that I've met some that think they're better than everyone. So... not all of them are bad; you just have to meet the right people. :)Why are mormons from Utah so arrogant?
I know I grew up in Mormon-ville UT. and my ward was so full of themselves and my parents thought they were God...and the Mormons claim my foul attitude is a lack of unforgiveness, no I grew up with holier then thou people, so I have this attitude about myself sometimes, it has nothing to do with unforgiveness.
My ward had cliches, and the guys always called me names and the adults in the room basically ignored it, they basically ignored me like I did not exist.
Because they think that their religion is the "True" religion of god. Bullshit, their religion is only a centuries old and their claiming that the catholics failed or some crap. They say that polygamy is wrong. Well no ****. Sheesh, sometimes I wonder if they know that Joseph Smith was a polygamist who was sleeping with other mens wives.
That's too bad. I wonder if they realize how they are acting. I'm Mormon, but I can personally say I love where I am living (which isn't Utah btw). I also hate it when people come from Utah and then nag about where you are living.
All the men would have multiple wives, except Utah couldn't be a state then. This isn't a free country after all. When Uncle Sam says you can only have one wife, he kinda means it unless you keep her hidden so nobody knows.
Mormons tend to have a better than you attitude. They think every one else has it wrong they are the only TRUE church of god. Plus their religion teaches that they will be masters to unbelievers.

That's a generalization, not everyone from Utah is arrogant.
i met a lot of nice mormons when i was there. there are a holes all around the world.
If you owned a state the size of Utah wouldn't you be arrogant, too?
LOL @ Big papa



And I don't all of them are.
There are a lot of arrogant people in Utah. I don't know why.
I think you might be drawing the wrong conclusions.



Ive lived in Texas and Utah and Utah is faaaar prettier. It just is. There are trees and mountains and seasons and lots of green places. Where I lived in Texas was just dirty and cement and crime. So if I were to comment on my preference it in no way implies I think "im better" than anyone. It implies I prefer Utah. Its up to you if you take it personally.



I dont see how you are even tying this into her religion. You could have easily said people in utah are more arrogant than outside of utah, but you made it a religious thing. You sound more arrogant than her.
I am a California Mormon but I lived in Utah for 3 years while my wife went to BYU at the age of 47. There are lots of Mormons in that area, many of which migrated from places such as California. Not all Mormons are the same. I have no desire to live in Utah. However, it is very tempting. The government, schools and politics are infinitely better than Califiornia.



The schools are really upbeat and care about the kids instead of the teachers unions. School Christmas presentations are truely inspiring. It is a very positive experinece for kids. Kids are greatly valued in Utah.



The state spends money on great roads and things that are truely good for the community. Law enforcement is done with respect for individuals.



Housing is inexpensive in Utah. You can buy a house with a minmal downpayment and receive enough rent to make the payments.
Dunno. . .



I'm a Mormon from North Carolina and I really had to get used to it--I moved out here about 2 1/2 years ago and I thought it would be. . .well, a little less xenophobic.



Here's an example of the culture shock: I'm walking my three big coon hounds down the river walk, and this dude comes by with no less than 6 kids on their scooters, trikes and bikes, couple of toddlers the little wagon that you pull behind your bicycle, and they're all screaming, "Looker, daddy, look at the dogs!" And he says "Yes, three of them is way to many to take care of. Don't touch them little Nephi and little Spencer, they have germs!!"



I was a tad insulted by that. And I'm like "Uhhhhh, dude. Look who's talking. At least my kids don't scribble on the walls and leave cookies in the backseat of the car."



He didn't think that was funny.



Other than this, I have become to love Happy Valley, more or less.
