[onosson]

It is an odd term - is Alaska on a different continent? Now contiguous, that makes sense.

He brings up a good point... well he didn't but he got me thinking . Why is it called the continental US when it doesn't include Alaska? Alaska is part of the North American continent so why exclude it? Unless the term was coined before Alaska joined the union, it doesn't seem quite accurate in that regard.

well one does have to cross a border or two to get there by land.....i'd really like to hear more about that 51st state idea....

Continental U.S. means the United States, which Canada is not a part of.

I thought Mexico was slated to become the 51st state?

 

[basstotheface]

Puerto Rico is.

 

[DUC1098]

Puerto Rico is.

They were supposed to be, but they refused. They like being able to "come and go" as they please, but not have to deal with all of the laws/rules of the US.

Wrong gringo. The USA is slated to become the 32nd estado of Mexico!

Canada can't afford to join the U.S.A.- 30 million people on socialism dont offer enough tax income to attack the Chinese debt!

Surely continental US includes Alaska? But not Hawaii, obviously.
