im English and I consider the UK part of Europe, why you ask? well, I was never great at geography, but I did get the lesson on Europe, whether people here accept it or not, the UK is part of Europe, and that ladies and gentleman is a fact

I dont hate the other European nations either, heck most of the people from the rest of Europe that ive met have been nice friendly people.

Personally I think its ignorace, some people here cant let go of the fact that the Empire is dead and we are no longer a super power, that and they dont know geography.

Actually, geographical speaking Europe doesn't exist... or shouldn't.  It only exists because of political reasons.

It doesn't meet a number of the qualifcations required to be a continent... and reality shoud be folded into asia.  or a Eurasian continent.


The Bristish may say they're not europeon for vanity... but europeons in general saying they are europeon is vanity as well.

 

It's not even a subcontinent really.  It's part of the Eurasian plate.

 

The REAL question is why do people think europe is it's own continent?

Maybe because they are on an island. Other europeans should not be jealous though. In a thousand years they'll be able to share the very same feeling.

Both UK and Ireland's relief is more fracted than most people think. Big maps just smooth it all away. Plus should sea levels rise the water will carve most river valleys further yet.
