This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It gets even worse when you know Europe and Asia are the same continent.
Errh, sort of.
It really depends on your definition of Continent. Most people would argue that Asia is a different continent.
Our accepted definition of what a continent is sucks. Why is Europe considered a continent but India is not? Every argument for Europe being a separate continent applies even better to India.
Europe just wanted to be special and controlled science at the time, change my mind.
india has HALF the landmass...seriously...thats not a continent
If we're going based on landmass, shouldn't Russia be its own continent? Russia is almost twice as big as Europe, and it's culturally unique compared to its neighbors.
well it spans two continents...and also it is russia, so.
Yup, but which two depends on how you define "continent." It either spans Europe and Asia if you go by common definitions of continents, or it spans Eurasia and North America if you look at tectonic continental plates.
