Seriously guys... Europe's not really a continent. It has less claim then India or the Middle East would geographically and they have really just as much geopolitically.

Wait wait, how does Europe have LESS of a geographic claim? 


Europe is part of the Eurasia tectonic plate. The Middle East and India each have their own tectonic plates. Hence why both are considered sub continents while Europe is nothing more then a pennisula... like florida.

Well, as I understand it it's considered one plate simply because there is no activity to indicate conflict.  "Europe" was actually a separate plate that mashed into what became "Asia" at one point, just like if India ever stops ramming into the Himilayas it'll probably just be part of the same big mass.  (This is where the Ural mountain range came from.)  The Arabian plate may be a different story. 

But also you said geographically, which isn't the same thing as geologically.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
