I have no idea.  i am a American, and i live in England, and everyone has their little opinion on America and its so annoying, people think they're experts on America, and they've never even been there.  If I was to talk bad about a third world country people would think i was rude and stuck-up, but for some reason people from other countries think they can sat whatever they want about my country.  I have met Africans from really bad countries and they have the audacity to talk about America and how violent it is, when they live in country that is at war or is far more violent than America.  I think alot of them are jealous and wish they could live in the most powerful country in the world.

I will definitely take your side on this question, listen...Yes, the Continent is called "North America" and it is included.  Anyway the U.S.A has been so dominant since "white people" have taken over the country and that may be why and EVERYBODY HEAR THIS:  The white people that say "I am half American and half English(U.K) are not.  The so-called "Americans are actually most of them are descendants from Britain and most of Europe.  Listen to this one.  What are "Native Americans"?  That's right, they are Indians, which means that most of the ones that consider themselves white Americans are actually European and here is another the term "WHITE PERSON" ranges from now..U.S.A, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe including Russia.  And yes about the government, the decisions they make do affect us, for instance(please don't hate me for speaking the truth) The War that we are in, in my opinion it is made a bigger deal than it should be and it is affecting us in one example by using up money and jacking the gas prices way up, so if I tried to FULLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION, it would be too long to try to read and if you want me to give you a full answer modify detail on your question and I will make it able to contact me.

They say, when you don't have a great answer, INVENT ONE!, there are guys here who call you stupid and in their answers rely the ignorance and idiotness of their own fear. America is a whole continent, there is no North America continent, or a South American Continent, There are only 5 Continents, Europe, Africa, Asia, Americas, Antarctica's(Oceania), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Continents.\nAmerica is the whole continent, even if the name of this country has the name of America, that does not mean we own the whole continent, yes we are arrogant and lazy, and our politic is to not care what the rest of the world says. They say that we call ourselves America because that's whats they call us in Europe, in Europe they call us "Pricks".

Is America ? I think so

The country in question is called the United States of America.  \nIn the beginning, the English colonists overthrew the authority of the king. This event was and continues to be called the American Revolution.  From that era, people here referred to themselves\nAmericans.  Canada became a country later and it had less as self-identification of American. The same goes for Mexico.\n\nAmericans are from he United States and there is some ambiguity in naming between American or of the United States.  \nIn general, the formal name will be the United States Marines, but they are also called American.  \n\nThe name American is not to be grandiose.  It started as the national self-identification of the colonists as they became citizens at the start of the new country.

Because the USA's name actually has the word America in it. I.E. The United States of America. Someone from Canada is known as Canadian, so on and so on. It would be silly to call us "Staters" or something like that. When referring to the whole North American continent people often refer to everyone as "North Americans".

Technically, yes, Mexicans are Americans. The reason being, there is no country called America. There is a country called the United States of America, and there are two continents called the Americas. You are completely correct and anyone who says different does not know what they are talking about. I challenge anyone to find a map that calls this country America as opposed to the United States of America, America being the continent within which the states are united.

Depends on where you are from.....if you are from the U.S. which believes North and South America to be a seperate continent then it is North America since North America ends at Panama and South America begins in Colombia.

Being from the USA, I can only guess that it's along the same lines as what a Mexican feels when a Citizen of the USA refers to the USA by either term: "United States" or "America."\n\nTechnically, wouldn't the term "America" refer to all of both North America and South America, and to all of the territory claimed by the nations thereof?\n\nThere is no "Arctica," because there is no arctic continent: only the antarctic continent "Antarctica exists as a polar continent.
