If you would understand what I mean, you wouldn't argue.

Phil... you forgot to add:
"Here, look at the monkey. Look at the silly monkey!"
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

It's rather funny that you are linking to an article that favors me. But I guess you can't read the first paragraph but just the title of the article which is half wrong.
It's "The Americas" and "America".
"Americas" alone is wrong.
From the 1st paragraph: "The Americas may alternatively be referred to as America.
Also, what does it have anything to do with "25th Aniversary of smileys"?
Seriously, you are just trolling. And stop that.
From the 1st paragraph: "The Americas may alternatively be referred to as America.
Actually, it says "The Americas may alternatively be referred to as America; however, America may be ambiguous as it can refer to either this entire landmass or just the United States of America.". It seems that you didn't read it that well.

What are you trying to say?
As far as I see, that does not contradict with what Phil said.

Didn't the debate start when Phil said that "America isn't just USA so don't say America when you talk about USA" or something?
So I'm saying, that when talking about USA you can say America and everybody understands what you're talking about.

No, it didn't start then.
Read the opening post.
Don't just start arguing for the sake of arguing. You're arguing about wrong question, one that wasn't even posed.

United States (51 states) of America (the continent).
I don't care what "americans" say, I'll never agree with calling USA "America".
There are 3 Americas, and they are all continents. North, Central and South. The big land mass is The Americas.

I must not have gotten the memo for the new one.
I didn't either.
Did Bush finally wake up and realize we have to take over Canada? Or is there some new deal with Mexico going on?
I just hope it isn't one of them shark states with too much liquid.

Puerto Rico is a US Protectorate, which some conclude as a new state.
52 then, we can't forget Iraq.
And seriously, why stop there?

Um, last I checked Guam was also, so that would make 52. Or, we can assume it was a freaking typo and there really are just 50 states here like any 1st grader knows.

Yes of course it was a typo, the 0 and 1 are right next to each other on the top of the keyboard.
