[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 313937, member: 11881"] You have to understand Utah is a different world. I am not Mormon and have been looked down upon for having only one child instead of 4, 5, 6+. My child was also told she could not play with the neighborhood kids because she is not Mormon. I have witnessed children get written up in school for saying "Oh my God!" Which depending on where your from it may be an issue or it may not be, but that is a religious point of view put upon children that may or may not be of the same religion. My point, Utah marches to a different drummer that is a few beats off from the rest of the country. What is deemed "immodest" here is often ridiculously normal and leaves you scratching your head. Yes, I do live here in Utah (military retiree from Detroit), and there is a lot of great things about living here, but as my Mormon friend recently found out when he moved out of Utah... it is a different world outside of Utah than it is in Utah. With that said, I don't expect that what these ladies were wearing would have even caught a second glance outside of Utah. Heck, my wife ran into this same dress code garbage wearing a simple v-neck (showing nothing as she is well aware of the uptightness here and she is a school teacher) and the college where she was attending a conference tried to tell her she was in violation of their dress code that did not apply to her or the conference because it was a v-neck. It's different here. [/QUOTE]
