MonsterOfSpain 8,285 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Nation = state = country. The only reason I went into greater depth about the UK (saying it was a Sovereign state) was to convey the point that the UK is more diverse than just England, meaning she should do dates outside of England too. No, state is like New York, and country is the US. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't be bothered going and researching a source to show you what I mean, please do that yourself. My original point that she needs to visit more of the UK than one constituent country stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterOfSpain 8,285 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 But it's not just England, it's like an Union of countries :P I know, that's why UK is the nation and England is the state You're deflecting my main point, effectively derailing the thread in off-topic matters. I really can't be bothered going and researching a source to show you what I mean, please do that yourself. My original point that she needs to visit more of the UK than one constituent country stands. I think she needs to visit more of Spain that only one region of it so we agree there.

Rollercoaster 2 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I had to travel the night before for 8 hours then dead. I was ready for sleep, not a show. As for the ridiculous conversation going on, The UK is a kingdom, not a country. England is a country. An example of why she needs to have more varied UK dates is that the 2nd Twickenham date wasn't sold out completely, but if she had done the second show in Nottingham, it opens it up to people that can't afford a £300 travel bill for one show.

Catalonia is a state or autonomy. Your definition is incorrect and holds no factual basis of any kind. It's like me saying my definition of a town is your definition of a planet. It just means I'm wrong. No room for discussion, not even a case of opposing opinions... simply wrong. In this case, you are, for some reason, trying to call a banana an elephant. This makes you wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
