We’re not talking about real life here. Read and look at category before you post.
So, any idea what human analogue the country of BCB has? For fanfiction purposes I say America, but Crystal insists on Canada, mostly because she sees Canada as suburbs with a background of mountains. (don’t ask me)

All it needs is a few giant robots, ninjas, and pop stars to become Japan. Or South Park.

It’s so far in the future that America technically doesn’t exist.

Ok which part of America then?

Edit: What’s this an edit button? Awesome

America is a continent. Canada is a part of this continent, as is Mexico, Brazil, Honduras, Bolivia, Argentina, and so on.

You are all referring to the United States of America, or, for short, either the U.S. or USA.

That is all.

SHUT IT MCCAIN

…

I’ve always wanted to say that!

Pfft~! Hahahahahahahaha~!

I join you in the SHUT UP MCAIN!

…

I mean which part of the UNITED STATES, you know which state

Hee ^_^

Poor McCain. All he does is be right, and others hate him for it.

Finally someone who doesn’t believe the daft idea of six or even *shudder* seven continents! I mean where did it even come from? There’s 5 continents, each represented by a ring in the Olympic Flag… And no one better be giving me that bull about there being an invisible ring… Other wise I’ll just be laughing for the next 5mins or so…

the part of america with the bipedal talking cats obviosly!

The rings represent the five significant continents that compete in the Olympics. They are The Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The colors chosen are chosen because at least one of them appears on every single flag in every single country in the world.

Usually, as I’ve seen it, When someone says “The Americas” they are referring to both northern and southern continents as a whole. When someone means just one of the two, they will specify either “North” or “South”. If someone just says “America”, they are usually referring to the U.S.A.

Of course, I live in the U.S.A., so if it’s different elsewhere in the world, I’m not aware of it.

America, Eurasia, Australia, Africa and Antarctica are the 5 continents we have on Earth.

Other ways of dividing (using a distinction of words that, to my knowledge, is not present in the English language) give us 7 continents: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Antarctica.

basic geography. North america, South america, Europe, Africa, Asia and Austrilasia are all Contenents.

Question: When people have asked you, “Where are you from?” when was the last time you replied with the continent you lived on?

when you live in AntArtica.

So you live in Antarctica?

not anymore but i did for a while

And were you born there?

no. i was born at sea

Which sea?

somewhere between Scotland and Antarctica. could ahve been the Atlantic ocean or the southern Ocean. international waters

So you were born in international waters, then landed on Antarctica, where you lived for a time?

yeah first 4 months of my life. my parents were doing Core studies

So your response for, “Where are you from?” is, “Antarctica.”?

its the first land mass i ever set foot on. but usualy i just say i’m from SCotland.

And why is that?

because nothing i’ve told you up to this point is actually true.

And will you keep making up answers if I keep asking questions?

will you keep asking question if i keep making stuff up?

Tee hee ^_^

Figures. Nobody would keep a baby in -30 degrees Celsius or lower.

By the way, you’re forgetting Australia. Many people say “I’m from Australia”, and it’s both a continent and a country.

@ ILB: They would if they were planning on eating the baby at a later date.

the continent is called Australasia. Antarctica reaches 0 degrees in the spring

Yes. Are you answering my question with another question or avoiding the question?


New Zealand is a country in the continent of Australia. Would a New Zealander’s response to the question, “Where are you from?” be, “Australia.”?

Not all of it. Otherwise it’d be quite easy to see the bottom.

Oh, and what you call Australia depends, I think. I’ve yet to see someone say “Australasia” with a straight face. But, what do I know? ^_^

@Jerk: Do I have to be angry with you again?

no . Definetly not. Kiwis hate being mistaken for Australians. that be like me calling you Mexican.

But New Zealand isn’t part of the Australian continent. I’m pretty sure you’re talking about Oceania.

By the way, I’m not American in any way. Or was that part of your point?

Five continents, America (From Canada to Argentina), Europe (from Iceland to Turkey), Asia (from most of Russia to Indonesia), Oceania (all archipelagos including Australia, New Zealand) and Africa (Tunisia to South Africa).

Antarctica cannot be considered a continent under UN law. Parts of it belong to different countries, but it’s illegal to permanently populate any part of Antarctica. As for the Arctic, the population is generally found near the circumference of the Circle, so they are either European or American considering to which continent they are closest to.

yes that was part of my point. the only way it would have failed would have been if you actualy were a mexican.

@ ILB: If you can’t see the humor in eating babies then I’m afraid you and I are just on two different wavelengths. But yeah, our fights are fun as nuts.

what knocks on the window 3 times, cries and then explodes?

A Baby in a microwave!

Okay, I was going to make a rebuttal on Pronkat’s post, but if this is going to be dead babies again I’ll leave you to it. ^_^

Perhaps we’ll fight another place, Jerk?

@ ILB: I can only hope. I’m not really a fan of graphic dead baby jokes anyway. =/

What’s the difference between a treasure chest and 10 dead babies?








I haven’t a chest buried in my back yard…

Even though all this is interesting/moronic, my eventual point would have been that, while yes, there are many other countries in the Americas (or America, whichever you prefer) besides the U.S.A., the original question was not “Which continent is BCB set in?” but “Which country is BCB set in?”, and the reply, “America.” in that context, would mean “United States of America” given that the U.S.A. is the only country in the Americas (or the world for that matter) that has the word “America” in it’s official name. It is also, therefore, reasonable to give “America” as a response to that question.

*does the semantics dance in his undies*






Sweet merciful crap, I am quite sure I have fouled up my punctuation somewhere in that mess.

McCain is wrong, he obviously doesn’t understand the semantics of names and languages that are not dead.

Besides, the demonym of a US citizen is an ‘American’. What else are we supposed to be called? United Statsians? Of course we could be called Columbians, but who refers to the US as Columbia anymore? And it sounds too much like Colombians.

So, to you, McCain, I say ‘Chutup’.
