America is not a country either; the U.S.A is, Brazil is, Canada is, Peru is and they are all in the Americas.
What an annoying knit picking prick you are, heres a small lesson in English.
When the word AMERICA is mentioned, it refers to the USA. The AMERICAS (notice the "S" on the end) refers to the continent.
Frist worst imo would be the wartorn eastern countries, Afganistan, Iraq, although the very poor and starving areas of Africa would be bad to live in for us, the natives have lived there their whole lives and likely get by, they probably would prefer there than to be shot down in Iraq
Then U.S.A, bad law enforcement, gun sanctioned, crime rates not too grand, covered in areas of natural distaster such as Earthquakes, tornados, bad economy and it would likely be the first place that would be nuked in a war, ignorant people but you get that everywhere really but in America sterotypes and media fills the minds of most people ive met, hell and no offence to americans on this board but some stupidity gets into the minds of some people there, a pair of teens 15+ish seriously asked me if Peter pan lives in London.....
Endgland for the same reasons as other people ,but its prob one of the safest countries and has good footing in most areas.

You can find thoughts that silly anywhere. I was once asked if Americans still need people to build things.
Personally I don't think it's fair to judge any nation by its population. The spectrum is simply so broad that you can never make a remotely accurate generalization.
I agree, I was simply saying that from my own experiance, ofcourse there are silly people everywhere,not far from me in England, Ramsden road, the far end has some people who couldnt add up the number of their toes lol....
One thing i like about Americans is that some of the guys you find serving you in the shops are happy, always friendly even if some of his customers are not, you always get a "welcome" or so my experiance tells me, wheras in the area I live in Britian, you get a grunt as a welcome and a teenager with attitude blowing gum "sigh"

Interesting is subjective. 😐
Did anyone actually say that Africa is just full of Lion's and Elephants? I think Chit was being sarcastic.

Well, technically the continent is America. The Americas are the countries of the continent of America (North and South). But America so commonly refers to U.S. Americans that one can hardly argue differently anymore. Still, if possible, one should try to differentiate.

Ok, we have someone imitating Leo in this topic...
Haha, no, but seriously. What is the standard then? Which are the continents, which aren't. Antarctica? Eurasia? Europe and Asia alone? North America and South America alone? Just one America? Africa-Eurasia?
Please tell me. I'd be happy to once and for all know the universally accepted standard of counting and distinguishing continents.
