Default Some people just say stuff before they think

Yesterday in PEC we were talking about a family that was baptized 3 years ago and is still going strong except for the father has some serious medical conditions. Anyway their daughter is going to the University of Michigan (on a band scholarship). When our high counselor hears this he says "She should go to byu it would be a better place for her"

No one says anything for a couple of minutes (like that should be recommendation) so I responded:

"are you kidding??? go for free to one of the top universities in the nation or go to byu? Additionally, U of M has a great singles ward and institute. Not to mention she is only 60 miles away if her father has more difficulties."

Then other people turned this on me like I'm a bad person and byu hater because I called him in on his idiocy.

arrrrrrrrrrgghhhhhhhhhhh

It is a tough row to hoe that you ALUFs face. I would not want to carry your cross, but I thank you folks for being a beacon in the darkness.

Indeed, He has chosen you and not versa visa. Your strong shoulders will help to one day bring to pass the greater enlightenment you wish to see.

I totally agree with the title of this post. Why would you say something so stupid?

The lesson you SHOULD of learned from this is not to burn up your limited political capital harping on stupid things like what college some girl should go to.

"limited political capital"??? It's a ward PEC meeting, for crying out loud. Do you think he is campaigning for a bishopric calling?
