Dear Jane, When you use God's name in a sentence, you capitalize the G. Tomorrow you could wake up and have an illness hit you or an accident and you may need Medicaid or Disability Assistance. I am sorry that you cannot see the good in people and the beautiful land that God has created for us.

Dont know what the voter has to do with anything but for your info im not on disability matter of fact have never missed a days work in my life and that includes since i was moved out of mom and dads by uncle sam in 1966 and i spent a year in one of the most beautiful places on earth but i hated it too not a good situation and i have a real good idea of your state i worked there from on end to the other and have probably seen more of it than most residents but i guess everyone has their own opinion of beauty and as iread another post i have to agree if you think mountain top removal is attractive then thats your choice but if you have really been around then you know that the tundra in bloom flying into alaska the sun rising in the grand canyon and setting in hawaii all top mountian top removal and that is why real beauty is protected and wva's beauty is not so take some of the pride you all have and protect what you have.i doubt that will happen because your soul has been sold for coal

Posted by: Maw Kettle on Jun 24, 2008 at 11:44 AM
Well i guess i will have to get on here and brag on myself because no one else will. We have survived here in West Virginia till now and we'ill make it some how. Make the best with what you got! If ice storms kills the crops then catch some fesh or go out kill some squrils rabbits deers and bears. Our great grandparents made it when the red coats came through here and drove our cattle off. If Obama comes through nail him by his ears to a tree and get some to come look at em.

Here's the deal. It doesn't matter how many comments we post, Jane and Jane will not change their opinion. In fact, it will probably only validate what she said in the first place. Ladies, I'm sorry you feel that way...it is your loss. Hopefully you can find a spot in the world that does make you happy. I get the feeling, however, that it isn't our state that makes you a miserable person, so I hope you get help with whatever that may be.

We had some hail in Mason County also, I can't imagine getting the amount that Frame had, nor the amount that Janes getting. But, Jane asked for it.

How did this turn into an Obama thing..The only thing I can even think of is that place that had the hail storm must have voted Obama.

Well folks i would like to get in this last post before thay take it away from us.i would like for JANE and all of her FOLLOWERS to under stand why we get so upset about things like this.when it comes time for a WAR over oil etc,etc,OUR WOMEN&MEN go and fight for our country just like everyone elis do,and OUR POLICE DIE in the line of DUTY just like everyone elis,s do, and we BELIVE in GOD becouse WE are soppose to,had it not been for him none of us would be here posting right now,and WE have very GOOD HEARTED and HARD WORKING FOLKS in this LOVELY STATE that we call HOME,it may not be much or not what you are use to, but it is OUR HOME!and we love it and defend it and WE LOVE and DEFEND OUR NEIGHBORS, and we half to fight the drug users and dealers and murders every day just like everyone in the usa do,and what makes our great state always last in every thing is our state GOV will not stand up for us like most states have!ours can be bought for nothing but you cant buy our love for WV!

Posted by: Proud of WV heritage on Jun 23, 2008 at 11:47 PM
It's pretty ironic that one storm caused this storm of comments. To: Jane - remember everyone has a right to their opinion but as you may notice a 'smarter' person would have known not to express it in the manner you did - a lesson for any area you move to. No we're not going to make everyone happy, but this state is very underrated in two ways: one many people LEARN to survive no matter their situation, and two many people here are street smart, or better said 'life smart' instead of book smart. I believe 'life smart' is better. Many choose to come back here because of family and connections, and there are many beautiful, spacious areas of nature if you take time to look. Again I say life is what we make of it and its not about statistics. If we choose to enjoy WV then act proud of it. If you only want to insult our people and beauty then leave. At least we can find WV on a map unlike some. The actions of some overshadow others, you can find much good around you if you look.

Posted by: Old Bigin on Jun 23, 2008 at 11:18 PM
I'm really surprised and pleased to see that their is so much unity with spirit in WV. I have been all over the country, WV and Arkansas are the only two places that really felt like home. Texas was close but different. Is that because I'm so ignorant or are people more like they should be here. Is it a coincidence as the moral decline in America took place our standard of living went with it! As it was in the days of noahs flood and the fall of the Roman empire. Nero was partying, playing the fiddle while his country was being burned. They forgot God first then was destroyed with natural disasters and disase. Does this sound familiar nowadays? AS for China and Japan they are exploiting their own people to get a dollar with in god we trust written on it.

WV, is an awsome place. Yes it is not the most wealthy. Good hard working folks. My childhood memories rest here and they were the best. My grandparents, aunts and uncles are still there. I miss the smell of the mountains. Do not speak ill of a wonderful state in the USA, you have no right to We are all part of what makes our country so great.

I would like to actually comment about this story I was in the storm and it was kinda scary and exciting at the same time. It sucks all the damage it cause but it was exciting to be part of something like that. Id say its a once in a lifetime experience. Most people never experience something like that in their lifetime. Noone was hurt that I know of so lets just Thank God for that instead of arguing about crap that doesnt even have to do with this story God Bless

Don't be embarrassed H8WVU, most of the time people think that you are talking about Virginia not West Virginia and they say were the ignorant ones. I think its pretty safe to say that if you hate it so much and you're still here that makes you the ignorant one. To bad you can't see me showing you the state bird. To Jane is awsome, the reason everybody is attacking Jane is because she called everybody lazy and ignorant, that includes you too. I do not get a medical card or disability. So before you go calling everybody ignorant maybe you should get to know some of the people first. See she ticked off so many people and they still offered to help her pack her stuff. Were such nice people. If you think that you're going on to bigger and better things, then I would say that you have smoked too much maryjane and you're going to be disappointed where ever you end up.

Well my name is Jane and I too like the one you all are mad at do not like it here and the reason i came i always heard what a wonderful place it was and how beautiful and what nice people well first it is not beautiful how could anyone call mountian top removal beautiful the only wonder is wonder why anyone lives here and for nice people i guess you all can be the judge from reading these post but unlike the other Jane I am on my way out and so happy about it see im moving to Maui now that is almost heaven so so long and good riddance ha ha ha

Come on people, we should welcome Jane with open arms, because it seems she has worn her welcome out in the other 49 states. Jane, if you don't like it here the only thing I can say is... next stop is MEXICO.

---

Posted by: H8WVU on Jun 23, 2008 at 06:30 PM
Jane, right on. I've lived here my whole life and I couldn't agree more. The only good thing in this state is Marshall University and a few good people. This place is a dump and I'm embarrassed to tell people where I'm from when I'm out of town. And don't worry, I'm out as soon as the opportunity presents itself. I may stop by Morgantown on the way out to pick up my free MBA, but after that it's on to bigger and better things. You people are the worst. Bye!

Posted by: The real issue on Jun 23, 2008 at 05:36 PM
See Jane may not like it here and thats her choice but the real issue is that there is so much ignorance here that it is beyond being funny anymore the first moron to post blames a hail storm on obama now you tell me how smart he is you would think obama was god the way he gets credit for all things mysterious stop and think people before you speak and just maybe some of the sterotypes would disapper but with so many racist comments and just plain ignorant lies and believers it is no wonder people feel sorry for someone who states they live here some of you people are embarassments to your own families they just dont speak up hoping you'll just be still and no one will realize your kin so please just take a min. the next to you decide to weigh in on a subject and see if what you are saying is remotely logical before you make a fool out of yourself and you fellow wva's but most of all think of your family no one wants for people to know their kin folk are just plain stupid

Posted by: Lance on Jun 23, 2008 at 03:47 PM
Jane-Please feel free to exit WV anytime you please. I have lived here my entire life. I have a good job, work 12 hours a day and have never asked anybody for help. You should go back to whatever snot nosed state you came from. We don't want you here.

Posted by: kygirl on Jun 23, 2008 at 03:35 PM
To Jane, just so you know,you were created by God. It's people like you that are truly soooo very ignorant. FYI there are disabled people everywhere. There are also uneducated people everywhere. Oh and by the way uneducated doesn't mean ignorant or stupid. I mean hey, look at you for example. I travel to different states for my job, and all you yankees are the same. Rude, crude, cold and equally as ignorant as what you described us "hillbilly's" to be. You must truly be unhappy with yourself. Ya' know what they say, "misery loves company". Last but not least, maybe in the end God will take you out of everything. Like oh i don't know, your eternal home with him. I sure hope so. MMMOOOVVVEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Do us a favor and move from this area. You should be fined for littering for just standing on your property. Yankee trash!!!!!

Posted by: Jane is awesome on Jun 23, 2008 at 03:01 PM
Why are so many people attacking Jane? Most of the former WV residents I know feel the same way. WV is a nice place to visit, but I'd never want to live there--family and God, my foot! And besides, Jane's not the one who politicized this story. That happened on the very first comment with Old Bigin's pearls of wisdom.

Posted by: Jennifer on Jun 23, 2008 at 02:06 PM
I'm still trying to figure how an intelligent person such as Jane obviously somehow mixes up a story about hail with a Barack Obama story. Is she insinuating that God sent hailstones on us because everyone in the state isn't embracing Obama or his politics? That makes us ignorant?

Jane, Please leave our wonderful state if you are so unhappy with the people and your "living environment"! But I am sorry to say that it doesn't matter where you find your NEW HOME, There will always be someone there that is uneducated or do not believe in the same things as you do. WV is all about Family and God. Hopefully thats the way it will stay. I hate to kick someone out of our state but PLEASE GET OUT! Its people like you who make WV look bad.!

Posted by: Anonymous on Jun 23, 2008 at 11:59 AM
First of all JANE, were we not supposed to be commenting on the hail storm? I didn't see anything about Obama in this story. Apparently where you ARE FROM, they do not teach you how to read...or you were absent the day God passed our common sense. Apparently you are not equip to appreciate the beauty that is around you. Instead you chose to judge an entire state by the actions of a few. Go white water rafting, rock climbing, or camping...watch a sun set from Seneca Rock and tell me you still harbor bad feelings for our state. If so, the astronomical gas taxes we pay for our fabulous pot hole free interstates can take you back to where you came from. Look at it as a gift from the Medicaid sucking disabled, to rid our state of rubbish! :)

Posted by: Victoria on Jun 23, 2008 at 11:51 AM
Jane, I'm so glad for your sake that our God is a forgiving God because if I were you I'd be down on my knees begging him for forgiveness for your judging attitude. "Thou shall not judge" have you ever heard that one? I'm glad that I'm from a state that still holds the lord Jesus Christ at the highest utmost position, where he belongs. If it wasn't for him "little lady" you'd be nowhere not even in good ole WV. We don't need folks around here like you, you are why we are seen as a disgrace (even to Dick Cheney). Every state has their problems so why don't you find one that better suits your little *ss. I work everyday and go to school to better myself and my family but I still find it hard to survive but I wouldn't leave this wonderful place that GOD gave to me as my home. By the way, I get food stamps too, how do you like that? I'm an educated mother of 3 that works forty hours or more a week plus goes college. What is it you do Miss Better than Thou?

Jane is funny. She continues to live here and call WV a dump, yet she STILL lives here. Who is the ignorant one? The people that live here because they like it or the person that hates it but won't move? And read a newspaper sometime, dummy. Taking God out of schools and such was not just a West Virginia thing. It was a nationwide thing. You really are a few clowns short of the circus.

Posted by: Sick of ignorance on Jun 23, 2008 at 11:32 AM
jane I have noticed that the people who say WV is a dump hasnt been given the great opportunity to venture out and explore this great state, And i;ve also noticed that the people who know so much about dumps and disability are the people who either live in a dump or draw the disability. Maybe you should get off your free check and move out of your dump to view some other places around this great state. And I often wonder why do people talk about the places they live when they are given the chance to move freely. Was West Virginia the only place that was stupid enough to hire you for employment ,,,If so let me apologize,, you were right ,,we are an ignorant bunch of uneducated people to let such an ingrate like yourself move here.

Posted by: Proud of WV on Jun 23, 2008 at 10:47 AM
Jane, If you do not like it here then LEAVE!!!! No One asked you to come anyway. WV is a very pretty state. Not all people are like you discribed and I do believe that every state has some like that weather you like it or not. I am very proud to live in this state and so should everyone else who lives here. If you do not like it.... LEAVE!!!! Also a lot of famous people came from WV thank you very much and a few has big farms here so they can come and visit and have fun because they like it here so much.

Posted by: Diana on Jun 23, 2008 at 09:54 AM
Jane, If you don't like our "DUMP" as you call it move the @#*%! OUT! We consider West Virginia "Almost Heaven" and for your information this "NATION" was founded as "One Nation Under GOD" so why wouldn't we refer to GOD"? If anyone one sounds ignorant here it's the person who doesn't have sense enough to MOVE from this "DUMP" and allow the people who aren't on "Disability or Medicaid" to try and do something to help where we can. If you have to live here then by all means get off your "BUTT" and try to help achieve something in this "DUMP" to make it a better place for you to live! I'll pray for you because only "GOD" can help you!

I have been gone from WV for the last 3 years and I miss Huntington and WV very much. I thought I would never get the chance to move back there but it looks like I will before this year is over. If you are so upset with WV, then you should move to where you are more comfortable. Believe me, there are "ignorant people" wherever you go, and not just in WV.

---

Posted by: Tracy on Jun 23, 2008 at 09:35 AM
Jane, I just wanted you to know I have lived in WV all of my life. I am well educated and work for every dollar I have. My husband nor my children rely on public assistance for any reason and I assure you by no means are we ignorant. However, although I do not support Obama, I have never heard him curse God. On the other hand he may as well have he supported a man who did until that man insulted him, not God. If you don't like WV get out, unless your to ignorant to remember the direction in which you traveled here!

WOW Jane, I am so flattered that you think so highly of us "ignorant people" here in West Virginia. I was born and raised here in West Virginia, and I am proud to say that I am very well educated, thanks to the WV school system. I am also 26 with a bachelors degree, full time job, no children, not on welfare, or drawing disability or medicaid. Perhaps you shouldn't judge an entire state by the handful of people you have met while living here. I am very proud to be a West Virginian.......if you are not proud to live here, feel free to leave the way you came in!

What does a storm have to do with Obama? Maybe the floods in the Midwest and the severe drought in the south last year are Bush's hypocrisy. Some people use any excuse to spew their political nonsense. Jane I've lived here 17 years now, and not everyone is like that.

For Jane: speaking of ignorant...Why are you still in West Virginia if you think it is a dump??? I imagine that you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth...I feel sorry for you because you are the ignorant one..not because you live now in WV....

To Jane sorry that you feel that way about W.Va. But for your knowledge not everyone that resides here is ignorant. And if you hate it here in this state that bad the same way you entered you can leave. And for you to have moved into this state and now you are having a pity party for yourself and putting this state down sounds like you are the ignorant one.

Jane if you dont like WV why not move? Why stay in a place you hate? Get a life, get a job and quit bashing WV on their own site.

Dear Jane...there are 49 other states to choose from...if you do no like living in our Wild & Wonderful WV..the solution is simple...MOVE !

To Jane, I am from WV and if you don't like it here get out, then people won't have to feel sorry for you. You are the ignorant one, you don't have a clue if you have only been here a year. What wonderful job do you have and how many friends have you made while you have been here. Just wondering.

Well jane its IGNORANT people like YOU that put a bad name on wv folks and if it wasent for welfare and gov,checks,and food stamps then people in wv could not servive becouse our state gov gives all of our work to the out of state contractors if the work was done by wv people thay would only want to pay them less then half of minimum wage,and we can not take care of our familys on that.but thay will pay the out of state contractors enough to put half of ohios kids through collage.and its wrong the way thay want to do thier own people.thats why this time around we are going to vote all the users out of wv.and people like YOU that dont like the folks in wv need to pack up and GET OUT!!!have a nice life.

To Jane, you seem to have some difficulty with stereotyping everyone from the state. Talk about being ignorant. You need to think about what you are saying before speaking. I don't know if it was a job, family or whatever that brought you to WV, but I guarantee it won't hurt anyone's feelings if you leave. Take your pompous attitude and go where ever else you choose to. Just because someone speaks to their own beliefs, however misguided they might be, gives you no right to insult the entire state. You are definitely not helping Obama's cause by spewing forth such idiotic insults. Good riddance. I'm not even from the state originally myself, but your stupidity truly astounds me. Why are you even on a weather story blogging about this. You are not the educated, class act that you believe yourself to be. Keeping up with the religious aspect you felt necessary to interject here, "Don't let the door hit you, where the good Lord split you"! Go earn your money elsewhere.

This is for Jane. If this state is so terrible and such a dump then why did you move here? Ignorence is everywhere. I will say the only time we are recognized nationally is for someone having sex with a sheep at a manger display at Christmas or something equally as horrible. I just hate when someone not from here who reads the hype and buys into it complains about WV. I bet your from Ohio or Michigan. WV is awesome, you should go back where you came from.

To Jane .I have lived in WV all my life .I am sorry you have such a negative view of our beautiful state. Look past the "ignorant" people you have met and hopefully find comfort that there are WV's that are looking towards HOPE in Obama. To Old Bigin..I correct you in what you wrote.. the last one DID some damage not done some damage and I think it did not destroy everyone's gardens..my tomato plants are hearty..and this may be a sign from above that change is on the way..look out Old Bigin..your name sounds like Osama Bin Laden to me.

I feel the problems we are facing here in my dear home state as well as the nation is due to ppl like Jane wanting to dismiss God from "everything". I am sorry that you have experienced the ignorance of some, but to label a whole state as such, I think shows your ignorance. If you are having such great embarrassment from people by living here, maybe you might consider moving to a more "liberal, intelligent" state, like CA for example. I think it sounds like you would fit right in :) I can't say whether Obama made any cursing remarks from the pulpit or not, but I do believe that we need to get back to what this country was founded on, a belief in living moral, modest, and simple lives. Caring for one another and not just ourselves. Old Bigin I hate to hear about the damage to your garden. I am sure that this weather is playing havoc on a lot of gardeners and farmers this year, nationwide. We will all feel the effect, here in WV and abroad.

Jane, I don't know why that response is posted on this page, but I feel sad and sorry for you too. You sound empty and confused! Yes, there is a real problem in WV, because taxes are incredibly too high in every facet, and jobs are not being founded. CEO's are making millions of money, and employees are making as close to minimum wage as possible. I have worked for 3 years in the same position, and have yet to make $7 an hour! The state of WV, like other states, unfortunately had to depend on the federal government to raise the minimum wage up so we can just pay rent and insurance. Forget much about having anything else, or cable. The people of WV need to start talking to the government and say enough is enough! Federal tax,state tax,property tax,an occupational fee and tax,Federal telephone tax,a state $3 911 tax,food and sales tax. Wow, and this country was founded to fight taxation from the King of England. I guess we will have to find another country to go to!

If it is such a dump to you Jane, why live there? I am from WV but have family there and they for one are not on disiabilty nor medicaid and what if they were? These are great pictures by the way, but I do hope it didnt cause damage to the people's crop.

Jane - this story is about hail - and apparently you need to be saying some 'hail mary's'. There are many very kind, compassionate, and extremely hard-working people here in this state. To lump everyone together over a few comments and make such outrageous statements shows your ignorance not ours. Since you don't like us so much and are not willing to be open-minded to people who aren't nearly as stuck-up as yourself then BY GOD - PLEASE MOVE TO ANOTHER STATE! Let us help you pack, see the door, and don't let it hit you on the way out. Or GET OVER YOURSELF AND FIND AN ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT. Life is what you make of it and your attitude.. anyway why do I even waste my time.. you don't even pay attention to the stories you lamely comment on, why would I think you would be a human being to anyone else around you. Good luck in life - and whenever you need something it will be one of us ignorant people who will still be willing to help. Actions speak louder than statistics! Please MOVE!!

Seventeen year locusts, hail storms, and 8 years of George W. Bush/Dick Chaney. God is surely punishing us. Let us pray.

how ridiculous, it cracks me up how people go off on tangents from hail storm to obama to God. That is one thing I must say about west virginia, is the faithfulness to God. If you don't like it here leave

Jane, I feel you! And I was born and raised here and I am ashamed at just how ignorant and racist a place this is. The sad part is all my life I really never seen it until now when a Black man is running for president.

Well Jane, if you don't like having God in a state them move your backside out! If it's such a dump them I'm sure they wouldn't miss ya if ya took off. That's what's wrong with the world today too many people like you taking God out of it!!!

Posted by: Pablo on Jun 22, 2008 at 10:26 PM
Jane, let me be the first to encourage you to leave West Virginia at once. You don't want to be here and we don't want you here. P. S. Trust me when we say we won't tell anyone you ever set foot in our beautiful state.

Jane, What gives you the RIGHT to be the judge, jury and executioner of WV?? The people of this state are NOT ignorant and nor do they deserve to be treated as such, Its people like YOU that make West Virginian's feel as tho they need to defend themselves against other's and that too in it's self isn't right, they shouldn't have to do that for you or anyone. And if you so unhappy with this state then why the hell are you still here?? And, if people are feeling sorry for you it may not be because you live in WV but because of who you are!! Did you stop to concider that? My husband is trying to get his disa
