It's pretty common to lump at least Canada and the US under the term "American," because there's basically no cultural distinction. If you want to specify you're talking about a US resident, the term is Mur'can.

NO WAY! I'm just here to cause a ruckus.

How the hell does one understand history without understanding geography?Quote:

:drool: that is one well-appointed back yard.
It's not bad. :rolleyes: I love it when it rains really hard, especially now that I convinced my parents to put those blinds on the one side of the deck. :P Just hanging out in the couch and chairs out there during it all is great. :content:Quote:

Didn't use to be. When I was young there were just 5 continents, or so we were told.Quote:

Maybe this is where I got confused.Quote:
Conventionally, "continents are understood to be large, continuous, discrete masses of land, ideally separated by expanses of water."[2] Many of the seven most commonly recognized continents identified by convention are not discrete landmasses separated by water.
I always assumed it was just one continent because that's the definition.
I guess all of these are valid

It's easier for me to memorise historical events than geographical locations.Quote:

Much smaller than ours, but i would definitely prefer yours, you have a pool as well xD
I forget to add, I'm jelly of your backyard Aly. It's beautiful and neat!
DV soon-to-come gathering to Aly's house. :P
I think he's saying that most historical events took place across the globe; that geography is an intrinsic part of history.Quote:

You have a lot of pool noodles.
Part of my garden. There are many koi in there, but they hid amongst the water plants as soon as I went to take a photo. >_>

We got teached that America is ONE continent and not two different ones. It's just made up of two parts.Quote:

Thanks! The pool is definitely nice. :rolleyes: They're not common around here either, so we're lucky.Quote:

I don't know. I think my history textbook doesn't specifically talk about continents, it was about war world 1, how gloomy.Quote:

Also my dog is envious of that fence. Its really high, she probably would consider it a challenge to jump.
My cat has been a little stinky recently. Mom told me to bathe him or he gets kicked out out the house.

Hey I've seen a similar photo online and I had it in my collection of photos. These two cats look identical. I think I stumbled upon your cat by chance (or maybe I ripped it off from this thread but I forgot). He carried the same sulky face everytime he baths.Quote:

That's definitely the same cat. How odd. Either OwO is lying to us or she posts her cat elsewhere as well. Hmmmmmm...Quote:
