Some say (7) Continents. Most history books say (5).
John
History books? New one on me. Please provide a link to one of them!
It's just that you said there was only 5 and they all had to end in an A plus be surrounded on all four sides by water...ergo in your history book you must have read..Europe isn't a continent.
A continent is one of several large landmasses on Earth. They are generally identified by convention rather than any strict criteria, with seven regions commonly regarded as continents – they are (from largest in size to smallest): Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

I would love your party to run America..NOT!! If you honestly believe the Europe is part of Asia, you are ...well..words fail me! No wonder you lot pay Ms Palin $100,000 to attend your national gathering! No wonder she is part of your lot..she's not the brighest star!
Again, you offer NO proof of your claim that history books state 5 continents. So far, you have provided a YouTube showing someones trip around the world of 17 countries (I am sure that there are more) and 5 continents...maybe those 17 countries were in those 5 continents and he didn't visit the the other 2? Then your lastest proof is a GRAFFITI book?

But it could be very important for people will see the disparities and lack of your world knowledge and think....
"Mmmmmm, the founder of the Tea Party doesn't know much about the world and cannot even provide proper evidence to back up his claims & won't accept evidence shown to him...I think I will abstain from joining this tinpot lot, especially when he publishes a chinese video from Sesame Street"

In the 1960's while in grade school we were taught that there were either six or seven (depending on school of thought) with the argument being Europe and Asia were "connected" so did not really definitively qualify as two separate continents. The term used was "Eurasia", but it seems to have fallen out of usage. As bright as I am ( ) before I read this I forgot about Antartica!

We must have had the same text book. (regarding Eurasia).
