Is it so hard for people to understand that Europe is a continent, EU is a federation of European countries, and the two are not the same?

- GaggiX 10mo agoI think you missed the joke
- usrnm 10mo agoEurope isn't even a continent and has no real definition (none that would make any sense, anyway), so the whole thing is confusing by design
- lostmsu 10mo agoIsn't London on an island, mr. Pedantic?
- TulliusCicero 10mo agoSo I guess Japan isn't Asian then?
- layer8 10mo agoWhile Japan is part of Asia, and Asia is a continent, Japan is also separated from the Asian continent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Japan#Location https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Japan#Location
- lostmsu 10mo agoWhat's more interesting is that the comment you are replying to mistakenly asked me instead of asking the parent.
- denysvitali 10mo agoI honestly think it is. The amount of people who thinks Europe and EU are the same thing is really concerning. And no, it's not only americans. I keep hearing this thing from people living in Europe as well (or better, in the EU). I also very often hear phrases like "Switzerland is not in Europe" to indicate that the country is not part of the European Union.
- MadDemon 10mo agoSwitzerland has such close ties to the EU that I would consider them half in.
