LOL @ Central America, nice one corn:P, I'de really like to know how you figured that one.

All different classifications of continents (which vary from 4-7 continents depending on the definition of 'continent'), Central America is always merged because it doesnt fit under any of the four types of definitions.

_________________

Yes, it fits perfectly. No continent wants them therefore they are their own continent :P.

But I was taught the 6 continent types as Americas, Europe, Asia, Antarctica, Australia (or how we say in Spanish, Oceania)

EuroAsia is also counted as one.. and I think AfroEuroAsia since all 3 are linked by Egypt

The standard taught worldwide though is 7 to my knowledge. The American system might be different (no surprise there)

You missed Africa

I was always taught: Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia.

And central America is part of North America.

I was taught central America was South America.

These god damn teachers need to get their facts straight before teaching.



How come water tastes bad after you drink it too much at one time?

gigi i think you mean biased btw, not unbiased.

The stereotypical modern set of morals comes from the puritans who originally founded the American colonies. They've become corrupt(in puritan sense) along the way, but are still very present. America's part in the play that is our world puts it in a great place so that others start to see things the same way. The origin origin I have no idea, I don't know cave man ethics.

why does mankind war? what makes some men want to control the world? why don't we put our differences aside and work toward something great, like space travel? there are so many universes too explore, and who knows what's out there in space

why do we have so many classes in one day? why can't we just do math for 2 months, history for 2 months, english for 2 months etc. and learn all of that material quickly instead of having a bunch of info from diff. subjects floating in your head in one day?

are abilities (telekenisis and that sorta shit) possible? like a savant, when someone gets hit in the head real hard and disables a part of their brain, they become a genious (human calculator for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bVVQ0FZeys )

why don't countries just do treaties with every single country and work on getting better medicine? (prevention of AIDS? STD? hemophilia? cures for sickness, etc.) this really would help out Africa hardcore

there was once an asteroid VERY close to hitting Earth one day, but missed just barely (NASA says it was like 30,000 miles from hitting? but they said that was astronomocally close) and it could've whiped out most/all of mankind, so why havn't we worked on finding a backup planet incase something along these lines actually happens? another reason to advance in space travel

just some questions i ask myself a lot

First of all, for all your questions with "why man kind want to control the world and why don't they do a treaty to develop medicine for aids and stuff". Countries act on their own self interest. If there is nothing of interest to the country, you bet your sweet ass that the country is not going to do anything about it. However, there is the World Health Organization that prevents outbreaks and such so your treaty kinda happened.

For the classes question, There is probably studies where they show this works. I bet its also used so you don't forget things that was previously learned. Lets say you take math from January to march. For your next year class you would have passed a whole year in which, by that time, you would have forgotten a lot of hefty material. Meaning that most of the 2 months will have to go to reteaching the whole subject.

The question with abilities is eh. No, we won't have telekinis but we would be able to control machines with our minds. The cases where people have accidents and become "geniuses" are rare cases which often have side effects such as the person can't stop doing it.

For the backup planet one. It's kinda funny, we can't even leave our own solar system and you want to live in another planet? We don't have backup planets because we don't have the technology. Hell, it's hard enough to build a space station that orbits earth (which can only handle so few people).The two main problems at this point would be source of oxygen and source of fuel.

well, i read up on something where ppl got to volunteer to some doctors, and they shut off a lobe of the brain for a bit and they were smarter than usual, you could always do a quick review when you went up a higher grade, and i mean, countries because they have MUCH more money than the World Health Organization, like srsly, what's so wrong about helping people? if others see that, they won't hate you and you could be friends with them thus making stronger relations

Sadly the world doesn't work like that. The only reason countries don't start wars with everybody is because of trade. The true reason of world peace is Business. As you can see, this is because of the country's own interest. It's funny that you say they have all this money when US in a steep road to huge amounts of debt. The money that each country uses is for their own citizens.


Do people in religions that are connected to Yahweh (which would be in the Old Testament) ACTUALLY read the Old Testament?

...? It depends?

To me that question is almost like "Do all people who are Christian go to church?"
