first of all this is not a hatting thread, so please don't delete it, i say this because 2 days ago i posted interesting answers and all of them were deleted with no reason, so please don't delete this thread, everybody can post whatever they want
this is my opinion, from the best to the worse continent
America = and I'm not refering to the united states, i don't know why many of you think "America" is a country, America is a continent which is divided in 3 sub continents, north america, central america and south america, i think america is the best continent because we have everything, in the south , we have the best football on the galaxy, we produce the best football players, plus south american girls are so hot, plus our amazonas river is so beautiful our region is so rich in natural resources, and in the north, they have technology
Europe: although european conquers were so cruel here in american continent, anyway I thin europe is the second best continent, they have many countries that sound to be interesting like greece, italy, england, and the history of all these nations is very interesting, plus, i;m so grateful of the contributions from europeans to the football.
Africa: they produce great football players, great natural resources there are in africa, and many of african women are so hot.
Oceania: well, i don;t know so much about this new continent, but australia seems to be a pretty interesting country
Asia: to be honest i don't find many interesting things about this continent, ok the chinese and arabian culture were so interesting, but that's it, that was many centuries ago, and now asia is characterized for being a continent where women have many many kids, their people emigrate in huge amounts, their beliefs leads them to harm western people.
Well, that's my opinion, if you difer from me, i accept your perception, everybody thinks in a diferent way, i hope moderator from this forum understand that
take care |

I deleted two posts out of all the ones you made. Almost all of your posts are anti-Asian. Some of them are hateful. I find your ideas reprehensible, but I grant you the right to hold opinions that are opposite to my own. If you state those opinions in a civil way, I leave the posts, regardless of how much I disagree with them. The two I deleted crossed the line. They were particularly insulting, added nothing to the discussion, and I received complaints about them. I think I have been very fair about it. I'm sorry if you don't understand why those were deleted.

Thank you Lorikeet. I have never seen such racism before, especially at an entire continent. Like you said, holding different opinions is fine (and as a Canadian, I actually encourage that proudsouthamerican) but I was shocked by some of the things I was reading.
Also, as a North American, I could believe (like many do) that all South Americans are only good at two things, smuggling drugs and playing football. Other than that, the entire continent is a useless, poor place. Fortunately, I know better. I have several South American friends (Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina) and I know that generalization that I just made is stupid and based on really bad information. I just wanted to give an example of North American generalizations of South Americans and how wrong generalizations are  |

The differences continents have are what make them so interesting. If all the countries were just the same...what would be the point of traveling ?
I'm also proud to be from South America you know, but when it comes to choosing from the best to the worst continent , not only racism plays an important role, but ignorance as well.
Asia has a lot of things than the rest of the continents don't. It has beautiful landscapes and its culture is pretty interesting. China has an amazing technology too.
so dont you feel bad Asian people. _________________ Tiziano, il mio cuore sta sempre con te |

First of all, the member that open that topic must to clarify "Best" of "Worst" in wich area: economy, culture, politic, social etc.
But let me tell you that in all concepts every continent has its special characteristics. And to give an opinion we musto to know perfectly each continent, and from what I know here at Dave�s there aren�t specialist in human race and social movements, then I think that topic is not conveniente. _________________ Only dream |

I can understand why people insist on dividing the world. My father came from Europe. I grew up in South America. I married to a Mexican, and I am living in North America.
