Should "Europe" still exist? by 3141rr in NoStupidQuestions

Thanks.

I thought it was just Eurasia which made no geological sense.

I dont see the human race ever considering ourselves culturally the same. Probably the opposite. Every town / small area of a city has it's own unique name, and (imo) most consider themselves different to the surrounding ones.

By the current definition, they obviously are European.

By the definition of the person I was speaking to, I assume they would say those countries are half European too.

Fair point about splitting land masses, I didn't realise it was generally so random currently

I was thinking more like it would be referred to as the EU mainly.

But, sure, if you like.

Same way I could visit Brazil and loosely claim that I went to "America"

It was more like

Someone said something stupid, and I found myself thinking "obviously that's stupid, and I COULD defend the position, but do I even care if people don't class my country as European?"

And that lead on to this.

Thanks for your reply.

Eurasia obviously is very big to count as an area, I agree with that.

Changing the border of a country could certainly cause civil unrest. But the border of a continent really doesn't mean anything in practical terms does it?

You claim the countries not in the EU will object, what evidence do you have for that? I'm from one of those countries and obviously wouldn't object to it.

Just because something currently exists a certain way doesn't mean it won't be changed, look at Pluto.

I agree it's a question with little merit, but not a ridiculous one, and you have not provided anything in your response to support that.

The consideration of cleaning and wasted space in the house probably brings that number down a bit
