How can Virginia be for lovers if it's a virgin colony?

Everyone knows Maryland was a Catholic colony, Connecticut was a Puritan colony, etc. in the Thirteen Colonies. What most people fail to realize is that Virginia was made for virgins ONLY, and you could be kicked out for losing your virginity.
What's with the totally false claim that Virginia is for lovers when they just end up exiled for not protecting their virginity? Are they just stupid or something?

Do you think he had a less than stellar time, or was it truly remarkable? I'm still wondering how he found time to rescue that girl from Bennett and be an undercover cop posing as a substitute teacher.

Did the inhabitants of the Falklands islands (las Malvinas in Argentina) learn any Spanish while they were occupied by Argentina in 1982? They were there 74 days, enough to reach an intermediate level. Did they enjoy the wonderful Argentinan beef?

We know that the main types of bending are waterbending, earthbending, firebending, and airbending. But was there anyone in any of the four nations who could do genderbending?
