well saltwater is completely different than fresh water, which is why it freezes at a lower temp then fresh water. something about it ionno i never paid attention in chemistry last year, i'm a bio person myself. but to say that ice can not be colder then 32 degrees just doesn't sound right, it's as if someone said that your temp always has to be 98.6...which obviously isn't the case.

Pure water will always freeze at 0 C. Keeping it moving just cause friction within the molecules that causes the water to heat up. Friction does that.

Salt (and for the most part any dissolvable substance) in water interacts with water molecules, not allowing them to bind with each other when they slow down thus lowering the temperature at which point the solution freezes, because the salt molecules must slow down as well. I believe the lowest possible temp with salt water is 21 C.

And I hated Chemistry.

If you want something cool to look up, do a search for Absolute Zero.

Ice stays at the same temp, just like boiling water, once it reaches that 212.5 degree mark, it boils... you can add all the heat you want, and boil it with a plasma cutter for all I care, but it still won't get any hotter. ANd the same goes to ice

Can you show some actual proof of this? You keep adding heat to water, it will reach more than 212.5 degrees. That is just when it STARTS boiling. Water also freezes at 32 F AND stays frozen as it gets colder, it doesn't stay 32.
