Anyone that doesn't know that there are 50 states is a real dumbass. That's what the stars on the flag represent you goofs. No it represents MURICA!

Not to be an ass, but those who think Guam is the 51 or 52 state, well something something f***ing moron comparative word ...... something. I don't know, my 12 year old daughter knows what and where Guam is, and I don't remember them ever mentioning it when I was in school. The way they are teaching kids now has definitely evolved. There was talk recently about breaking up New York into two states, with Upstate NY and Manhattan being separate. Honestly, when I was a kid I probably wouldn't know Guam from Guinea if I didn't live in a city that had at one time 4 Air Force Bases and an Army Base too.

They must have thought Texas and a couple other states seceded because everyone knows we have 57 states.

I'm English, so I have an excuse but I actually did think it was 52. Whoops.

Puerto Rico might become the 51st state.

Isn't this something that's taught in first grade? Yeah, the education system in the US could probably use some improvement, as could other countries, but still.

I can understand if you aren't from the US, but if you are American and over the age of 5 and you don't know this please move elsewhere, you are bringing our average intelligence level down.

They are confused about Washington DC and they used to watch WCW where Maxx Payne was announced as from the state of Euphoria.
No, actually I think these people think Alaska and Hawaii are the 51st and 52nd states and that there were 50 before those two joined.
