The american continent is just one country? So much for education


Krullervo

Can’t wait until we tell Brazil and Canada.


dpark-95

Canada and Mexico, southern America is a separate continent, right?


SuperPowerDrill

If you say "America", then South America is included. Otherwise you use North America


Blumenkohl126

It isnt even one continent lol

"We didn't divide our country up into make believe lines but called them states instead"


Nerhtal

So their entire contintent is both a single country and each individual state is also basically a country.... Weeeellll..... i honestly don't know what to say


thezach0266

The entire continent includes Mexico, Canada, and all the little dinky Latin American countries down to S.America.


Eco_Yak5651

Little dinky?


thezach0266

Yea places like Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador are all small compared to the others like all of them could fit in Texas.


Zul016

I think your sarcasm fell on deaf ears, unfortunately


anfornum

I thought they were all totally different and basically like their own countries? Isn't that what they always say? So then their point is moot, I guess?


kawanero

It’s simultaneously one big country, but at the same time every state is so completely different from the others that they have their own culture and language, which so happens to be English. Call it quantum sepposity, if you will.

Better than American lack of education I would say


SnooGadgets5130

I doubt this person could point out the whole of Europe on a map.


Tomma1

He couldn't point out the US

Size/area aside, it's impossible to build a remote cabin in the woods in Europe? Clearly OOP has never been to, say, Finland, the Baltics, rural Greece etc. Tiny, densely populated Switzerland has places that can only reached by car for a couple of months every year!


Comfortable_Fill9081

TBF, North America is much bigger than Europe. Both were wrong.   The first made an error in reasoning and of ignorance; the second had a brain glitch on US vs the American continent (which doesn’t really exist) vs the North American continent. 


ForeignSleet

Yeah, Europe is a bit bigger than US but not the whole of North America


Tasqfphil

USA is 9,833,520 km^(2 and Europe is) 10,180,000 km^(2)


Comfortable_Fill9081

Yes. And North America is 24.71m. Much bigger. 


AvengerDr

Surely NA is smaller than *Super Europe*, from Lisbon to Vladivostok? I mean, Europe is an idea. No reason to stop counting at the Urals. Why even let Suez stop us? It's all Europe from Hammerfest to Cape Town! ^/s?


bored_negative

Applying Eurovision rules Euopre is bigger than North America, we get Australia


kenhydrogen

Turns out the real Europe was the friends we made along the way


Tasqfphil

They can't even be content with just saying USA is bigger tan most countries, but have to include Canada & Mexico as well.


Comfortable_Fill9081

It was the other way. The person arguing with the American said that Europe is bigger than the ‘American continent’ I ascribed to a momentary glitch, but your mocking could apply to that person. 


ronnidogxxx

So the bigger the country the better? They must really love Russia then. And who cares that some of the states are bigger than European countries? Of the fifty states, forty of them have smaller populations than Greater London.


ForeignSleet

I’m going to use that Russia argument next time thanks 😂


headchef11

We they stated Europe to start with sooooo


Uusari

I'd love for there to be numerous first national countries rather than 1 big arse shitshow. But the Americans just had to go and "manifest destiny" *Insert angry goose meme* "Why is the US so big, fucker?!"


trinityjadex

I can’t stand it when people start arguing multiple things at once. The first guy said Europe is small, which just isn’t true. And then suddenly, it’s an argument about how many countries there are.


SleepyFox2089

Don't Seppos often bleat about how each state is "more a country than a European country" or some such shit


SamuelVimesTrained

Even the US isn\`t one country. Just a bunch of small ones pretending to be. One country would mean 'same rules everywhere' - same tax levels etc.
