"The purchase, announced Thursday, runs counter to the church's statements over the years that it does not want to keep expanding its downtown real-estate empire, which already consists of the equivalent of more than six city blocks."
"We don't want to, in any way, have a situation where it can be said that the church is trying to control the city," Burton said at the time. "What we're trying to do is control that part of our destiny that is immediately adjacent to the most important, sacred parts of the property owned by the church."
FUCK YOU!!!!
LOL Mormons.
"We're not trying to control the city. That's why we're buying it."
What else would you expect from mormons? I mean, some of them came up with sparkly vampires.
SPARKLY GODDAMN VAMPIRES! GODDAMMIT!
Steps to a sweet land deal:
They seem to be doing power through positive real estate!
1. Shut down downtown retail
2. Watch property values plummet as existing businesses die off
3. Buy downtown property at bargain-basement prices
Soon, you won't have to go to Temple Square. Temple Square will come to you.
Does this mean that, someday, all of downtown will be off-limits to gays? Not to mention nightclubs? And will those crazy-annoying born-again anti-Mormon protesters have to set up on every streetcorner in the downtown area?
Time will tell.
Protip: It's not illegal to burn down buildings full of faithfools.
* well okay, technically it is, on paper but only if you get caught

I hope so, the ones outside the temple seem to have figured out not to wander into traffic, fresh meat is needed.
I saw that too and thought the same thing. Just how much of downtown needs to be Mormon property?
Maybe if they spew enough hot air they can do something about the temperature inversions that make the valley suck so much this time of year.
I live 2 houses down from a church or temple or whatever the fuck they erect, and have been so far disappointed they have not come to bother me. I think it's about time I printed up some postergasm stuff and put on the pole down there...

In retrospect, this sounds far more kinky than I intended, and much more funny for it. Thanks ;)

Very nice. I have a much cheaper version myself. Someday I'll dig up another one.
I have a friend who has quite the arsenal, so I live vicariously through that when we go out into the desert once in a while to shoot. He's an interesting guy, and has taken what he learned from growing up as a Mormon (now reformed into an atheist) and transformed that into being way way prepared for when the Zombies come. Like, a year supply of food in the garage, lots of ammo stockpiled, etc, etc.
So, when the Zombies come, well.. look me up. :mrgreen: I figure the outbreak is probably most likely to start from one of the LDS temples. Hehehe..
Utah: Mormons, Gun nuts, and people who take surviving the zombie apocalypse seriously.

Maybe it's lunch time, but 'Gun Nuts' sounds like a great breakfast cereal idea.
Every time I see the title of this thread, I can't help thinking that I'd be angry if I was fucking Mormons, too.

I would imagine so, I hear they have to wear that special underwear all the time 'cos their god is pervert or something. So, the best you would get is an open orifice, and how lame would that be? :evil:
Looks like they are buying a little more besides.

At this rate they'll own my apartment building soon.
