@AlexNowrasteh Automatically assuming that someone older than you is "lecturing" when they share an alternative opinion is far more childish than the books themselves.

I struck up a conversation with an elderly woman on an airplane in 2000. She asked if I’d read Harry Potter yet and I replied that I didn’t read children’s books. She lectured me about how it’s for adults too.

In the summer of 2000, as the Harry Potter series was quickly becoming a global sensation, legendary Yale critic Harold Bloom gave one of his most unpopular takes, calling 35 million readers wrong

@WCCSG_ Utah is dead wrong. None of my Ute fans friends went to UofU, its a commuter school. Even if BYU doesn't qualify as a good college experience for some because of the Honor code, Utah State is a far better option than UofU.

@kariwarburton Practically perfect in every way. I feel completely inadequate as a parent trying to follow in their foot steps.

@JeffreyLuscombe Its not just a conservative problem. Otherwise California would have a functioning rail system and their traffic wouldn't be so horrible.

Gordon Monson just can't write a simple positive story. He HAS to be insufferable. He HAS to qualify any complement, and he HAS turn it into a lecture. He's sort of kind of ok with what this BYU player said and did, "as long as it hurts nobody else," though -- he just HAS to point out that this Sunday resting stuff it is "inconvenient" to some. And the lecture about God wanting one or another team to win -- it just has nothing to do with the article at all, but Monson just HAS to, in everything he ever writes, lecture everybody. (He seems to think people are interested in receiving lectures from him.) And he just HAS to claim that BYU doesn't REALLY take Sundays off across the board -- gee thanks for that insight, Gordon. What an insufferable and tiresome thinker and writer Gordon Monson is.

@Sola_GPT Amen, I think its weird that other churches have instruction about how to deal with Latter-day Saints or other religions/denominations.

As Latter-day Saint growing up in ID we never really talked about other denominations at church. I had no idea what an evangelical or Pentecostal was until my mission We did learn about church history thru the reformation and Protestants of Joseph Smith’s day but nothing modern

I've been watching Severance and today I have a 4 hour training for work. I work in healthcare so I'm not usually in this sort of atmosphere, but the show absolutely nails the weird cultish behavior within corporations. How do people in traditional work spaces deal with this?

@BYUswag I think retiring numbers is stupid. Hang a jersey in the stadium, but not letting current players wear that number is just dumb.

Why isn’t Mohammed Elewonibi’s BYU 🏈 jersey #64 retired??? Mo was a consensus All-American and the Outland Trophy winner in 1989.

@wavyyyyyy_ @ByuSome I'm sure there are a few of us who get mad when people call us Mormons, but they are few and far between. What makes us mad is the double standard when opposing fans chant "F*** the mormons" with very little public blow back.

@ByuSome It’s hateful when a dude is disagreeing about having a pride month that has little to no effect on him when your entire fanbase screams that people are being hateful by calling someone a Mormon on a religion THEY chose. I’m not really interested in discussing this with a BYU fan

@NBA__Courtside The point of basketball is to win basketball games. No to put up stats and win awards. D-Wade was a winner. Harden is not.

@FantasyWorldW1 I understand that representation is important, especially for young people. I also think that if there was a fantasy world based loosely on ancient sub-saharan Africa it would look out of place for a white character to be in it.

Star Wars actor John Boyega explained why he doesn’t watch Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones in 2017: “There are no Black people in Game of Thrones,” he said. “You don’t see one Black person in Lord of the Rings. I ain’t paying money to always see one type of person on-screen. Thoughts?

@forestfrank Absolutely. Spiritual growth is dependant on helping others both temporally and spiritually. Church provides the framework for that to take place. Not to meantion thinking you don't need the church has always struck me as a bit prideful.

@Tjonesonthenba This is my biggest draft pet peeve. They're like (insert perennial all-star) but more athletic, better shooter, etc. With how much of a crap shoot the draft is, most of these guys would be lucky to sniff an all-star game.

@ByuSome Safety is an interesting one. Satuala and Damuni are both great but they're probably both better playing SS ather than FS. Jay Hill ran lots of single high last year we'll see if K-pop runs more 2 high looks or if one of our guys can adjust to playing FS.

BYU fans, Which position group are we most worried about this year? For me, it's either WR or safety. I think we have talent, but there are big shoes to fill from last year in those positions.
