How Virginia are you? | Comments

I agree with the person who said YOU don't know Va. We are more diversified than your quiz. This state is filled with history - most presidents, first college (William and Mary),

Jamestown settlement,Williams burg, etc. Important military bases - Norfolk Navy, Oceana Jets, Ft. Belvoir Army engineers, Quantico Marines, CIA training at Quantico. Natural resources - Va. Beach, Smith Mt. Lake, Clator Lake, Natural Bridge, swans on the Eastern Shore, wild ponies, crab and fishing industry, Smithfield Hams, Peanuts, strawberry and blueberry farms, wine industry. The cities with their particular character - Roanoke with the railroad industry and education sites, Richmond as the state government capitol, Charlottesville with the influence of Thomas Jefferson, Alexandria with the influence of George Washington, Arlington with the influx of Asians, Norfolk with the shipbuilding industry. And yes we have sports besides football from Va. Tech and U.Va.- Michael Weiss was an olympic ice skater who started skating in Fairfax, Va, hockey is big in Norfolk, Martinsville speedway has autoracing, there is horseracing and horsebreeding, George Mason had a winning basketball team, la cross is getting bigger and bigger in the area, soccer teams abound, "Wonder woman" lives in Va. Police training films are made in Suffolk, other films have been made throughout Va. Wayne Neuton originated from Va. Roy Clark is from Meherrin, Va. Blue Grass music is big in Va.with Galax, Va. having a big festival every year. Speaking of festivals - Winchester has the Dogwood festival every year. I could go on..... so you see it is YOU that does not know Virginia.

I have lived in Virginia for over 10 years. The questions which actually pertain to the state I knew. I don't follow the music scene, so how would I know what singers come from where? And whoever wrote the quiz needs to realize that both West Virginia AND Kentucky both border Virginia. So that was a loaded question. They need to redo some of these questions to reflect on the actual Commonwealth of Virginia.

I think it should have had less to do with sports. I only got an 81% but I've never lived anywhere but Virginia in my entire life. Most of my mother's family hasn't either. I just don't care for/know much about sports. I can actually kind understand the questions about musicians, because it just so happens that the most famous celebrities of recent from Virginia are rappers/R&B singers/what have you. But I can also agree that I would have scored much higher if there were more questions about history.

Yes, va_babe and cpg, this quiz was stupid. To have such a high percentage of questions related to rap ignores the great history of this great Commonwealth. And no, va_babe, half the country doesn't listen to rap, only brain-dead morons like you do. Oh wait, maybe it is half the country. Idiot Obama voters I presume...

I was born in Michigan, but lived for 67 years in Virginia. Agree that Virginia is more important than who coaches Tech or the mascots. The number of presidents, Jamestown, and other questions, perhaps having one question dealing with musicians/contempor ary music.

Born & raised in Virginia. I am 33 so I guess thats how I scored a 88% on this quiz. The questions were not that great. I listened to a lot of rap in my teens & 20s And I love r&b so those were pretty easy for me but not everyone listens to rap & r&b so those shouldnt be on a VA test in my opinion, Sports and college neither. Sure have the colleges on there but not direct sports questions. 2 up 2 down and VA For Lovers I loved those questions. I am going to create a VA quiz this week. Stay tuned!

opps. Anyway, I was born deaf so I'm unable to answer questions regarding singers since I can not understand songs.

Also, many people have little interest in sports. I missed all the sports questions.

I'm a native Virginian for the record.

I was born and reared in Southwest VA. I attended Radford College when it was a part of VA Tech.

I know VA History because I have always had a keen interest in it. Had ancestors at Jamestown in 1619.

Rap isn't my thing. I support the Hokies(they were Gobblers when I attended Radford and had many more names before they were called Hokies.)

The rappers, missed 'em, sorry too old and not interested & don't consider missing those not being a true Virginian! Probably missed who UVA beat in basketball too and the fingers thing in the end I'd never heard of. I agree with others, all the history in VA and this had more sports questions than anything. Yes, Kentucky and WVA border VA folks, get it right.

Lmath, I was wondering about that also. Either the person who made this quiz is not from Virginia, or can't read a map because both Kentucky and West Virginia border us. This quiz really didn't say much about our state.

Not everyone listens to rap or music of a similar genre. I surely do not, and so of course I missed those questions-- yet I have lived in Virginia my whole life, having never stepped foot out of Hampton Roads.

Why did you put all these sports and rap questions on here? I agree with most of the people who commented. You need more HISTORY instead of things like sports because there are actually a lot of people that don't like sports.

My family has been in Virginia since early 1600's and in Southwest Virginia since 1700.

So what the hell has R & b and rap and music production got

to do with Virginia? thro in sports as well, what the hell again.

A very poor poll.

I have lived in Virginia for 13 years. I missed all the questions on the rappers. I have no interest in rap or that kind of music and maybe they should have more questions about the state itself!

(Plz read this you'll hopefully agree with me) Girl: Am I pretty?

Boy: I'm not answering your question because I'm sick of everyone posting this!

Girl: you know what? Me too! I hate it. It's so annoying.

If you agree with the boy and the girl then take my quiz called, "Stop the Chain Letter!!!"

You are 41% Virginian

Aiight yo! Your almost halfway a true Virginian. You still need to study some more. You're not quite there yet.

Wow..Im impressed with myself since im only 8...

I guess all Virginians do is watch football and listen to rap? Hmmm, and I've not met a Virginian who really does either than much!

YEah... I don't listen to rap however... its true... Its a High Percentage of people who listen to rap! So Most of Rap consumers are the Children of the Losers that Voted for McCain STUPID... WHAT WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT OBAMA theo229

56%? Okay, considering I'm from Idaho, that's not bad! I agree that this quiz needed more history and less pop culture.

I am TOTALLY in agreement with ehurican. I mean, really! George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, those are only two of I think eight or ten VA presidents.Come ON

I got 30% I live in Virginia and always have but I guess its cool for someone who doesn't like living in Virginia. :)

I got 30% I live in Virginia and always have but I guess its cool for someone who doesn't like living in Virginia. :)

this quiz is seriously retarded. i was born in VA *moved to NC at 1yr old* and still visit like 2 weekends every month!

this quiz needs to have more history in it, instead of all this pop culture. FACT ONE: VIRGINIANS DO NOT LISTEN TO RAP. nu-uh. yes, basketball and mascot questions are okay, and so are speaker of the house ones. but RAP?! sorry, that's just stupid.
