(Anonymous) 2013-06-12 08:30 am (UTC)(link)Fucking christ, ignorant USians all up in here. Only you idiots think "North" and "South" America are two different things because you're racist shitbags. Read a book or look at a fucking map for once, why don't you.

(Anonymous) 2013-06-12 11:17 am (UTC)(link)Not they're really not. I don't know if this isn't cultural-language thing because we have word 'continent' that seems to mean engl. word 'continent' in the geological sense of the word ( as that the continent is somehow determined by the tectonic plates ) and the word "world-parts" which much more connected with culture, history and such. So we have continent Eurasia but "world-parts" Europe and Asia.
Which still doesn't matter because North and South America are two separate continents and "world-parts". For fuck sake, South America was connected to Antarctica and separated from North America for ages !!!

(Anonymous) 2013-06-12 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)Second of all, they ARE two fucking continents. You gonna tell me that Africa isn't its own continent because it smashed into Europe and is now connected to it? What the fuck do you even think a continent is? A "giant island?"
A continent is a continuous landmass that corresponds to a particular tectonic plate. Plates move and collide, so yup, sometimes those landmasses link up. But they're still separate landmasses.
This is basic fucking geography. You might want to look into it before you go around calling other people ignorant (and "racist?" My gods, you're an idiot).

(Anonymous) 2013-06-12 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)Australia? That's funny, I thought they had a decent public school system. I guess not.
Tectonic plates, eh? That sure is a convenient definition, also, complete horseshit. Geologists define it that way, but commonly, no, they're defined as "landmasses separated by a body of water", of which the Americas weren't until racist imperialists from the USA forcibly did so.
Under the geological definition, India would be considered a separate "continent" than Asia. But it isn't. Siberia would be on the same "continent" as the Northern Americas. But... it isn't. Half of Iceland would be part of that continent, the other half would be in Europe. But... that would be fucking ludicrous. Do you even know where the tectonic plates are? Learn what a fucking word means before you use it, dipshit.
Thanks for confirming that racist, ignorant Australians are truly living up to their big brothers, the racist, ignorant USians. The separate "Americas" are propaganda, meant to reinforce the notion that white 'North' Americans are somehow separate from everyone else. Now, run along. Don't you have some brown people to throw back into the sea off Christmas Island?

(Anonymous) 2013-06-13 12:16 am (UTC)(link)trollanon I'm replying to, it's not just "racist shitbag" USians who consider Africa a separate continent. This would be because continents aren't geometrically discrete entities by any but the most strict model: one which posits four world continents (Afro-Eurasia, America, Antarctica, and Australia) and in which island nations such as Iceland, New Zealand, Madagascar, Cuba, etc. aren't part of any continent. Of course, basically no one uses this model on a day-to-day basis; most people follow a six- or seven-continent model.Also, it's worth pointing out that the convention that America is a single continent was the dominant view in the U.S. until WWII, which not-so-coincidentally covered the time in which the Monroe Doctrine's "Big Brother" policy and the Roosevelt Corollary were conceived. Isn't it a shame that USians' conception of the relationship between North and South America has become so much more racist since then? </sarcasm>
