    From my experience as an ex-Mormon, one of two things; the first is that they have it drilled into them from birth to be submissive and inoffensive. They’re not even allowed to swear, least of all criticize their own leadership. Second, they have a mandatory two-year period where they have to actually go out into the rest of the world and make some kind of effort at assimilating into another culture as missionaries. That tends to give them a slightly more worldly perspective in some regards, but not all.

    They aren’t bad people. They’ve been tricked into believing something harmful.

      I have a weird alternative theory why they’re so cool. It’s because they don’t consume coffee.
