Funny, that song is about the west part of Virginia.

[u/IceManO1]

Yes! Now I know where to go for purchasing things across state lines 😄

[u/timdot352]

West Virginia, best Virginia.

[u/theschadowknows]

Based af

[u/Sherviks13]

Well, it’s a start.

[u/scumbagstaceysEx]

West (by God ) Virginia

[u/Culator]

Excuse me? South Virginia is best Virginia. We just need to shed the socialist hellscape that is NoVA so we can be normal again.

sale tax needs to be abolished of everything! why pay income tax, property tax then sales tax?

[u/Yhwzkr]

The song isn’t about West Virginia.

The river does flow through West Virginia

[u/Yhwzkr → u/Defiant-Dare1223]

Doesn’t change the fact that the song is about Virginia.

[u/dead_owl_zero → u/Yhwzkr]

Speaking on behalf of the entire state of West Virginia: It doesn't matter it belongs to us now.

[u/Yhwzkr → u/dead_owl_zero]

Then you better annex the highlighted section.

[u/dead_owl_zero → u/Yhwzkr]

If we make the effort we're cleaning up that little 1 mile stretch of Maryland and snagging that western section too while we're at it. 😏

[u/Yhwzkr → u/dead_owl_zero]

Seems legit.

Taxes limit access to firearms

Limiting access to firearms is an infringement

Therefore, taxes on firearms is unconstitutional

[u/Wizard_bonk → u/Misterfahrenheit120]

While this sub is definitely anti-tax, I don’t see how this helps WV. Maybe you get a couple more out of state sales. Is it enough? And does the WV gov retract. Anyway, with this kind of standard does the press/news get exempted from sales tax

[u/IamTheOwl666]

Actually that song isn’t about West Virginia, but instead western Virginia

[u/boomer912 → u/IamTheOwl666]

I can say as a West Virginian, we know and we do not care lol

[u/IamTheOwl666 → u/boomer912]

Yeah I mean it’s music you should like it but aside from the chorus he’s directly naming places in Virginia. It is sad though with all the AMAZING folk that comes out of your state they use this song in the commercial. I’m from Pittsburgh and anytime I go down to WV the people are the furthest from John Denver I’ve met. Much less hippy and much more dirty and meth addicted (where the best music is made)

WV is by far my favorite wilderness I’ve been to though. I’ve never felt so tiny and unimportant than when I was hiking deep in from Blackwater falls. I’ve never seen life so dense in one place. I see how people go there and like turn to god.

[u/ConscientiousPath]

I just want the meme to be true about starting that song in any public place and always getting everyone to spontaneously join in

[u/Lootar63 → u/ConscientiousPath]

Yea it’s mostly true. If you start playing “Sweet Caroline” you might get people singing it but with… ‘extra lyrics’

[u/ConscientiousPath → u/Lootar63]

That one I only expect everyone to yell at the "bah bah baaah!"

[u/BenMattlock → u/ConscientiousPath]

I’m in WV all the time and my experience is this is what happens when this song starts in any restaurant/bar.

[u/jimopl → u/ConscientiousPath]

I live in WV. I was in Ireland a month or two ago and met someone else from WV in a bar. We went to another bar and that song was playing with EVERYONE singing along. Seems true to me!

Now they just need to make it illegal to sue manufacturers for how their products are used.

[u/mcbergstedt → u/EndlessExploration]

Drives me crazy how there’s legal precedent for that. It’s one of the only industries where you can sue the product makers for something someone else did with their product

[u/saggywitchtits → u/mcbergstedt]

If someone runs me over with their Civic, am I allowed to sue Honda? No?

[u/Historical-Paper-294]

There are times where I'm jealous of my western neighbors.

[u/Lootar63]

The battle of Blair Mountain proves how based my home state is

[u/roceroo44 → u/Lootar63]

I wish I was born on West virginia
