So, before you continue to post uneducated mis-information, you should take a drive out and see how you would never be able to differentiate most Loudouners from those from Fairfax.

I thought the prevailing law in Loudoun was that 1/3 people had to be Indian or Pakistani, and if you were, you were issued either a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna at the border, along with guest passes for your entire extended family and a mustache comb.

At that point, your goat herding license was also updated to a child herding license and you were shown the directions to the wegmans.

Loudoun has, essentially, voted hand in hand with Fairfax in presidential and gubernatorial elections in recent years.

Listen I wasnt even alive in 1988, 1990 is in my screen name for a reason. Anyways I'm just giving you a DC perpective on how most of us view VA. DC being the urban city that it is, its not hard for us to consider something country, hell PG county is country too both culturally and the way a lot of the county looks. Loudoun is west bubble phuk, out of the way, and compared to DC its country, it is what it is. Saying Loudoun isn't country is like saying Fredericksburg and Stafford aren't country. Don't be offended though its all relative, people in NYC think anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line is southern country as hell. If you wear pajama pants in public you are country.

I can't figure out if this is supposed to be a serious comment or if you're joking...

But, I certainly understand your opinion regarding the ignorance of the aforementioned picture - for me, seeing ignorance in it's many forms can often be quite humorous.

Just as long as you'd laugh at a graphic that depicted Springfield Mall as one of those long-unfinished office buildings in Caracas now filled with squatters, I'm with you. This thread is close to pure whimsy, so it's hard to take anything posted here seriously, whether it's a silly map or an assertion that Richmond is a "progressive" kind of place compared to NoVa.

Haha - yes, JEB77, I would definitely laugh at that too!

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt by presuming this post was tongue-in-cheek. In the future, qualifiers like a , , or even an " /sarcasm" will help make that clearer.

I think we should take Northern VA lump it together with DC and the MD suburbs and create the great state of Washington DC. DC gets statehood and we can all finally honestly tell our out of the area friends that we are from DC.

Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Fairfax, and Loudoun. Maybe Prince William. Everything else is old Virginia, except Fredericksburg will be stuck as a NOVA-ish enclave. Combine that with Montgomery County and Washington DC, and name it the 51st state. Virginia will turn bright red, and Maryland will turn a tinge of pink.

If by bright red you mean that all of us will get some sort of hypoallergenic reaction to the money that would fill the streets once we stop sending it to "small government, but still give me cash" virginia. Then yes, I agree... but then again I for one would sacrifice my complexion if it meant our schools weren't woefully underfunded by the state.
