First I voted for america, then I voted against america

I like Americans

Couldn't eat a whole one though...

Sorry, Ivan but choke.. choke Threefates is entirely correct!

The continents are:

Europe,Asia,Africa,Australasia, South America, North America and Antarctica.

As the great Cert would say,I am not offering an opinion, this is fact!

Listen, Javelin-Boy we males need to assert our intellectual superiority over the girlies,blips like this do not help!

Consider yourself on a Yellow Card!

I don't quite understand this.  Actually the continent the USA is on.. is called North America.  Your continent is called South America last I heard..

Nope Threefates, the whole continent is called America, there are only 5 (Maybe 6 Continents if Antartica is also considered) and there's no difference between North Central or South America.

South, Central or North America is only a name created to identify regions, but really there's not such thing. But that's not the problem.

USA is in fact United States of America, but the problem is that from the President to the last ctizen calls that country AMERICA, the networks call Bush The President of America (He's not my President), their second anthem is called America the Beautiful (Is there official anthem in USA? Because until 1896 there wasn't).

All of this as if the rest of the continent, including Canada and Mexico (Which are also North America) didn't exist.

PS: By the way, the official name of Brazil is United States of Brazil (Estados Unidos no Brasil ) and Mexico is United States of Mexico (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), because as United States of America they have a Federal Government divided by States, not because they copied anything.

So USA is not the only Federation of United States in America either

I don't quite understand this.  Actually the continent the USA is on.. is called North America.  Your continent is called South America last I heard.. for english speaking americans anyway.  I believe in spanish speaking S.A. its called Suramérica, and in Portuguese, its Ámérica do Sul. 

Also the name of our country is the United States of American... we are the united states on the continent of North America... so where is the confusion there?  If Canada wanted to call themselves the Canadian States of America... or if Mexico wanted to do the same thing.. .we'd have no problem with that... they are on the same continent afterall...

So if you had some country there who wanted to call themselves Los Estados Unidos de Suramérica, they wouldn't be very creative, but they could probably do that too...

So for short people call us Americans.. we are afterall.  And not to forget that most Japanese, Chinese and Koreans prefer to be called Asians these days... and thats not a bad thing either.

If you'd wanted to call yourself Americans.. you should of copyrighted the name first...
