China has so many people it's not even a country anymore, it's a continent. A lot of people won't want to accept this because they can't handle change but technically its true. amirite?

Population doesn't define what a continent is, tard.

Antartica is a continent. No people live there.

1) Ummmm yes they do, it's not a first world county but that doesn't mean people don't live there. The jungle isn't a country either, does that mean nobody lives there? 2) antactica and australia are technically part of Oceana. Read a book.

The point is, the amount of people doesn't make a continent.

Conventionally, "continents are understood to be large, continuous, discrete masses of land, ideally separated by expanses of water."

con·ti·nent&ensp; &ensp;/ˈkɒntnənt/ –noun 1. one of the main landmasses of the globe, usually reckoned as seven in number (Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica). Also, the average gay man has a higher IQ than the average straight man. Also, Oceania is not a continent. Also, you're being dumb.

I feel the need to say this: 1) There are no permanent residents in Antarctica. The only people who reside there are scientists and researchers. Additionally, Antarctica is not even a country, so there is no way to classify it as first world or third world country. It has people there from all over the world, but no indigenous population. As for your argument about the jungle, you do realize that jungles are part of other countries right? There might not be a country called the Amazon Rainforest, but when you are in the Amazon Rainforest, you are in Brazil, which is a country. 2) Uh, no it's not. At this point, I'm going to assume you meant "Oceania," since Oceana is not a place. Secondly, this area includes islands in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Examples include Australia and New Zealand. However, Oceania is neither a continent or a country. It is simply a region. In conclusion, maybe you should read a book.

But yah China definitely isn't its own continent, the only country that is also a continent is Australia and that's the smallest continent in the worlds. China IS a large country with a very large population but that factor in no way makes it a continent.

As burnagaininja said...either way, you're gay. Therefore your argument is invalid.

Come on guys, don't you study tectonic plate maps? China is CLEARLY at a plate boundary, which sort of makes it a continent, the same way Europe is a continent. Plus, you take the population thing into account, and it's completely a continent. I agree with this poster. http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/tectonic.gif

Australia and India share the same tectonic plate. They're not considered in the same continent. Europe is a continent. Asia is a continent. They're both on the same plate, but they're considered two separate continents. The Pacific Ocean is not a continent because it's a tectonic plate. Neither is the Nazca plate. So... In your logic:

I think China's more leaning toward the "country" side. Not a continent.

Who made the mistake of calling it a country ?! Flawless logic.

I disagree. And it's not that I can't handle change, it's because this is just so poorly thought through I'm almost beside myself with laughter.

con·ti·nent/ˈkäntn-ənt/ Noun: Any of the world's main continuous expanses of land (Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America). You are an idiot.

So what is your reasoning for changing the definition of continent? And I think what saxybandgeek meant about people living in Antarctica is that people don't naturally live there, they only live there to do research.

You might as well start to say India's about to become a continent for its population. While you're at it, say every human being is a continent for the population of bacteria on everyone's skin.

or saying the sun's a continent because it's bigger than Australia.

They're starting to call India a subcontinent due to it's population, size, and location.

India's already a subcontinent :P

I'm pretty sure a continent has something to do with the formation of tectonic plates, not the population...
