Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) believe that their doctrine is the doctrine and gospel of Jesus Christ. It started in heaven before the earth was created, when God the Father presented a plan in which all His children (mankind) would come to earth to gain experience. Mormons believe that Adam and Eve, the Old Testament prophets, the early New Testament Christians, and the peoples mentioned in the Book of Mormon were all practicing the same religion they now practice.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (commonly called "Mormons") do not believe in the Incarnation, that is a Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant Christian doctrine. The Incarnation is the doctrine that the second person of the trinity (God the Son) assumed human form and is therefore both God and Man. Mormons do not believe in the doctrine of the Trinity and therefore do not believe in the doctrine of the Incarnation.

No. Many Christians consider Mormons deceived. It should be noted that much of the popular press given to Mormons (or LDS members) has intersected with the organizations who practice polygamy. These sects are not part of, or affiliated with the actual Mormon / LDS Church. Mormons believe in Jesus Christ and His teachings and further believe that the Bible is true. In addition, Mormons believe that God is not finished revealing scriptural doctrine to people on Earth and therefore has revealed additional doctrine in the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and Doctrine and Covanants. Mormon Doctrine also reveals guidelines for divine living, keeping healthy and protecting life.

yes they did. Think about it if Mormons didn't go to salt lake city there would be no Las Vegas
There is no such thing as Mormon floating. "Mormons" are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They have no religious belief, doctrine, or practice related to floating in any way.
There is no reference to miles in the scripture, theology, or doctrine of Mormonism. Mormons use miles to measure distance if that is the standard unit of measure in their country, but that is about all that miles have to do with Mormonism.
Of the 13,824,854 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) worldwide, 7,785,947 live outside the United States. That is, 56% of all baptised Mormons live outside the U.S. Nations with quite a few Mormons are: Canada 179,801 Mormons (1% of Mormons are Canadian, 0.5% of Canadians are Mormon) Samoa 69,224 Mormons (0.5% of Mormons, 39% of Samoans) Tonga 55,173 Mormons (0.5% of Mormons, 53% of Tongans) Mexico 1,197,573 Mormons (8.7% of Mormons, 1% of Mexicans) Guatemala 220,296 Mormons (1.6% of Mormons, 1.6% of Guatemalans) El Salvador 105,501 Mormons (0.8% of Mormons, 2% of El Salvadorians) Hondouras 136,408 Mormons (1% of Mormons, 2% of Hondourans) Brazil 1,102,674 Mormons (8% of Mormons, 0.6% of Brazilians) Chile 561,920 Mormons (4% of Mormons, 3.3% of Chileans) Peru 480,816 Mormons (3.5% of Mormons, 1.7% of Peruvians) Philippines 631,885 Mormons (4.6% of Mormons, 0.7% of all Philippinos) UK 186,082 Mormons (1.3% of Mormons, 0.3% of all UK) Australia 126,767 Mormons (0.9% of Mormons, 0.6% of Australians) New Zealand 100,962 Mormons (0.7% of Mormons, 2.4% of all New Zealanders) To compare, the United States has 6,038,907 Mormons. That's 44% of Mormons and 2% of all Americans. But you can find Mormons in nearly every nation of the World!

Trinitarians are people who believe in the doctrine of the Trinity - this includes most Christians including Catholics and the majority of Protestant faiths. Mormons do not adhere to the Trinity doctrine, instead believing that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three individual beings united in purpose. Many Mormons find the Trinity doctrine confusing and nonsensical. However, Mormons hold no hard feelings against Trinitarians themselves, and respect that others have different beliefs than they do. Unitarians are members of the Unitarian churches, often the Unitarian Universalist denomination in the United States. Unitarians tend to be a liberal faith which believes that there is no one right path for everyone. They believe in God as one being, and encourage each other on their individual path to spiritual fulfillment. Mormons believe that there is only one right path - Jesus Christ, but appreciate Unitarians willingness to be inclusive, loving, and encouraging of all people in their path to God. Mormons seek to find common ground with people of all faiths and belief systems. They believe that there is good and truth within all religions and that our similarities should be sought out and celebrated while being respectful of our differences.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have very strong feelings about the United States. Mormons believe that the American Continent was preserved as a 'land of promise' for God's people who were separated from the Israelites. (Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 2:20) Mormons believe that America will be the site of Zion at the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Doctrine & Covenants 57:1-3) and that during the Millennial Reign, Christ will rule from both Jerusalem and the American Zion simultaneously (Isaiah 2:3). Most Mormons also believe that America was the home of Adam and Eve. (Doctrine & Covenants 107:53) Mormons believe that the history of the United States of America was predicted anciently by prophets of God (Book of Mormon, 1 Nephi 13:12-19) and that the Constitution of the United States was divinely inspired by God (Doctrine & Covenants 101:80).
As a whole, no. However, the same question could be asked for any group (i.e. are Catholics/Jews/Buddhists con artists?) and the answer would be the same. Some individuals may be dishonest, but the importance of honesty and integrity are of great importance in Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) doctrine. Most Mormons adhere to the teachings.
