Actually, that’s exactly what I was getting at. I have a friend from El Salvador who says she was always taught that there are 8 continents- Central America being the 8th one.

So I started wondering if people in Central America are mainly the ones taught that there are 8 continents, or if it’s something a lot of other countries teach too and maybe those of us in the US are being taught the “weird” way.

Not to say that being told Central America is a continent is weird, just not what I’ve heard. I don’t want to offend anyone.

Well according to what i've been taught (in the US) it is said that central american is considered part of north america, but then i ask myself...Why the fuck is it called Central America...heh
Actually a lot of people wouldnt have a clue where to find the central american countries. I'm from nicaragua and everytime i tell someone that, they seem confused and have no idea where that is.

Central America is not a country, it's a landmass, they just want to be proud of something and secede from the continents. I say we invade next week.

We didnt say it was a country, we were calling it a continent. and Yes i am proud of being from there. Do you have a problem with that sir?

Yes. Yes I do.

And what exactly do you have a problem with? Do you think you are superior because you are....a piece of shit? or wat?

And it's still not a continent.
