Not counting D.C., there's actually 52 states, just 50 on the mainland. Alaska and Hawaii are the other two.
It's the one at the bottom of the world with all the penguins and polar bears, right?![]()
My bad. I thought I heard on QI that there are 52.Wrong, there are 48 mainland and Hawaii and Alaska make 50. They are considering adding Puerto Rico as a state also.
Actually that's a question, do all Americans refer to Washington D.C as a state?
My friend is trying to argue (if this is possible) that there are 51 states in AmericaHe's saying that D.C is in fact a state and is using the map of the votes as proof where it says 50 of 51 states have voted, however he has failed to noticed the asterisk that said 'including capital district Washington D.C'
I've show him every source possible, I even explained how D.C means District of Columbia but his argument is "All Americans say it's a state so it is"
Actually that's a question, do all Americans refer to Washington D.C as a state? And I am aware of Washington state.
Oh, and does anyone know of a terrible TV show I can watch now? Preferably one I can tear to pieces? I need to write some notes down for a review in English.![]()
I've got a Maths exam tomorrow that I'm really not looking forward to. I've been doing a decent amount of revision/studying, I even started getting too involved in the workbook and when my mum told me to take a break I was quite disappointed.
But on the plus side, Life Skills is after the exam, so that'll cheer me up!

MTV in America. Just take your pick on which show.
KatieganMy mum suggested that. I honestly cannot bear soaps...
I would, but I don't get MTV in my room. We do downstairs, but... I don't want to have to put everyone downstairs through the pain too.
I think I'm going to have to try and force myself through ITV2's Girlfri3nds.

You see, in my school, they will automatically suspend you for three days and may put you in a police cruiser (and on trial if it is bad enough) if you fight someone. Even if you are retaliating after the first punch, no matter the reason, you still face the same consequences.
At least we all get along, since the town is so small we've known each other since preschool.
SlashfanWe would both get ISS but thats about it. I was forgiving enough not to retaliate, but I screamed loud enough the entire bus shut up, turned around and stared......

This is the policy at my school. Pretty much, the principle calls the cops and presses charges against each person involved in the fight.
So one's not allowed to defend themselves?
^Not really.
Even if this kid has been bullying you for years and decides to take it up a notch one day and you've had enough and retaliate, you will still face the same charges as him.
