[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lived in WV for a short period a few years ago. I think the most of the stereotypes are true. People there are largely uneducated/ignorant (but not all of them are rude) and places look like dump. A new theater built was advertised like a Disney theme park came to town. Pathetic!
There is no way in hell I would raise my kids in that kind of environment.[/quote]

Interesting.  No one wants you there, I'm sure, but my parents raised me in WV.  I got a better education than my kids are currently getting in a "good" MCPS school, and I ended up at Harvard.  So, yeah, it was hell.  The kind of hell where you have a huge yard and a nice house, good friends, BBQ's on the weekends, beautiful outdoor places to camp and fish, and actually learn how to do stuff for yourself.  It was essentially the "free range kids" paradise.   I have friends who are still there (they're doctors, lawyers, business owners), and I'm jealous.  If I could move my job there, I would raise my kids there in a heartbeat.[/quote]
Uhm sounds like WV is the most prosperous state in the nation.
Wonder why it's like a dump if everyone is so successful?[/quote]

No one said everyone was so successful.  They have a huge problem with a dying industry.  But "no way in hell would you raise your kids there" makes you a fool.  If you have an education, it's a great life there.  In part because we don't have ignorant, arrogant, rude people like you.[/quote]
You sound like too sensitive and lack of security. Have you graduated from Marshall University yet? [/quote]
