1. A STATE! Believe it or not.

2. Pretty decent football team-The Mountaineers. Marshall thinks they can hang with us, they have an inferiority complex. Go back to I-AA!

3. We suceeded from Virginia back during the Civil War because, quite frankly, they were weak.
I once told a cabbie from Virginia that I was from West Virginia. He didn't know where that was. I punched him in the face and stole his cab. Sucker.

An extremely misunderstood state. It seceded from the Confederacy circa 1863 because the state opposed slavery. It is full of breathtaking scenery and a simplicity that is genuinely hard to find anywhere else. Life slows down a little in West Virginia... there isn't all the hustle and commotion of a larger city or state. It's peaceful, and wonderfully inspiring.
Those who live there know its flaws, but appreciate all its wonderful qualities. They call it home, and it holds a special place in their hearts.

Many people criticize the state for the stereotypical "Hillbillies" which allegedly inhabit it; however, if one pays attention to the critics, they themselves usually sound quite uneducated. Those who live in glass houses...
"Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

Life is old there, older than the trees

Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home

To the place I belong

West Virginia, Mountain Mama

Take me home, country roads"

One of America's poorest states. New Yorkers who claim to be "tolerant" and then make jokes about Appalachians which they would never dare make about blacks or gays deserve a hard punch in the face.

West Virginia has been screwed and betrayed by the rich Bi-Coastal fat cats.

Witness the way the Elites behaved towards Jessica Lynch; they competed to exploit her. The CIA, the Pentagon, Tim Robbins, the Feminists, the Right, the Left, the media, the Metropolitan Elite...all GUILTY of RAPING Jessica Lynch.

Someday, there will be vengeance.
Chuck Yaeger, John Nash, Homer Hickam, Jessica Lynch are famous West Virginians, and are vastly superior to any of the worhtless, parasitic New York intelectuals.

West Virginians don't rape sheep, but New Yorkers raped Jessica Lynch.

Anyone who says west virginia is boring is completely fucking inaccurate. Get your heads out of your fucking asses and go camping. We dont believe in incest and quite frankly every state has incestous people. Mary Lou Retton was one of the best gymnasts ever and well she was from west by god virginia. Homer Hickam who is one of the most important rocket scientists is from west by god virginia. We do have what you people call rednecks but we just call eachother friends. 90% of west virginia doesnt lock its doors because we have no reason. More people in west virginia owns guns then other places but less people get shot.
A place where you can go to church in blue jeans and a t shirt and still be seen as a god loving person.
A place where people are proud to be themselves because we are who we are.
A place that if you start a fight you will lose. We stand up for wat we believe in.
West Virginia is the best damn place in the world.

A state that is -not- part of Virginia. It is commonly mistaken for "western-Virginia". This mistake is most commonly made by non-Americans who think they are amazing at Geography.
West Virginian: "I'm from West Virginia."
Englishman: "Oh! I know people from Richmond!"
West Virginian: "Yeah! And I know someone from Glasgow!"

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Wow that is a damm good song the song that goes like Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

A beautiful state that is over-stereotyped

It’s a beautiful state that has a lot of attractions such as Black Water Falls, Seneca Rocks, Canaan Valley and many others. Their is a lot of stereotypes about West Virginia. Some examples are that we don’t wear shoes, we fuck our cousins, and we’re all very trashy. The truth is that most of these are not true. We have a few rednecks here, but there stereotypes are not always true. It’s just like any other state with cheesy suburban families and few trailer parks here and there. It’s low crime but there are lot of meth and crack heads everywhere. A LOT OF DRUGS!!!
