    Did you seriously just compare the landmass of the United States with the entire fucking CONTINENT of Europe?

    Yes…yes you did.

    If that’s the comparison you want then the Area of North America is 24,474,000 sq km.

    The better comparison would be the US and the European Union. The EU is 4,422,773 km2.

    Now sit down short stack. You aren’t tall enough for this ride.

        You are highly regarded.

        Unlikely. The upside of being socially inept though is that I have more time and headspace for important things…like knowing the difference between a Country and a Continent.

      You did see that n2burns was replying to a comment that was a size comparison of the United States with the “entire fucking CONTINENT of Europe”, right?
