Default America Is Not The Greatest Country

A new show is coming on, or has already aired, on HBO called "The Newsroom". I saw an amazing clip from the show so I'm going to go watch it, but I thought that I should share because of how true and, at least to me, powerful it was - not saying it's the most powerful speech ever or anything, but pretty powerful nonetheless.

I have to confess, I used to believe that America was the greatest place on earth, until I started going abroad, came home, and nearly immediately wanted to leave.

North America is a continent, South America is a continent, America, when saying just the word, is widely accepted as meaning the United States of America, that's what I've come to gather anyway ^^

Nop.

America is a continent. North and Sout America are "Subcontinents"

USA is a country whith no own name, who stoled the denomination of the whole continent.

It reflex, in my opinion, the wrong idea that they "are" the continent.

And in not so "widely" accepted.

In argentina, American, is related to the continent, and "yanqui" ( yanquee) or "Estados Unidos" ( United States ) to refer the country.
