yes  

some argue it should still be considered Eurasia, or something like that, but IMO, that would be a SUPER CONTINENT  


Not Eurasia. Please. Thats how it starts. Then Oceania. Then Eastasia. Totalitarian governments whose soul purpose is to enslave and maintain power through perpetual warfare and dehumanization; no thankyou

Europe is considered a continent, but no, it shouldn't be. If we decide to distinguish it from Asia based on cultural/racial/whatever differences, the same hand should be applied everywhere. India and Pakistan should form a continent of their own, and Saharan and sub-Saharan Africa should be considered separate continents as well.

I think that Europe should be absorbed into Asia. There is no reason to keep them seperate.

Physically, Europe is not its own continent, but politically, it is.

Yea, that's what I was thinking.  Society probably broke it that way due to demographics or whatever.  Now it is socially acceptable.

Geographically and technically, Europe is part of the larger landmass of Eurasia.

But politically and culturally, Europe is most certainly a distinct continent.

It all depends on how you're talking about it, in what context.

People don't know of that.


Europe wouldn't be treated any differently if it was Eurasia. The only thing that would change is that it would be called Eurasia, but still probably referred to as Europe.

It's about methodical, rational, scientific distribution of labels. Something utterly foreign to the way we actually do things, but you know it's a party.
