Old, angry version kept for humorous effect:

Whoever made the new poll is either an idiot, a racist, or both. I'm not surprised as it is mainly runned by Americans but AUSTRALIA is not a fucking continent it's a country. The continent is called Oceania which also New Zealand and some "asian" countries belong to. Proof read before you publish next time please.

Polite version:
Please replace "australia" with Oceania, since Australia is a country and not a continent.

Chill mate, its probably an honest mistake. Could have just pm'd a mod with this, instead of trying to make a huge deal out of it and create an argument.

The things people find to moan about never cease to amaze me

Edit: Oh and before you start calling people idiots, check your own post first

Is "runned" actually a word?

Well since I don't know who make the polls I figured I'd post here, but I'm an idiot anyway so I guess I should of kept my mouth shut, it's just that I can't stand "mistakes" like this, being a public poll and all. And when I'm angry, I don't think very straight.

Edit: I wasn't entirely sure on the "runned" thing, English is not my native language.

If you had to post it here, then at least you could have been a little more polite about it... No?

Of course I could. But you know, rage builds up through time, and right now, my cup was filled and was starting to flood, you know? I wasn't being personal, I just talk like that :P

I thought this was a thread about a new polish member.

I organised a party and everything.

Ok so not a big party but I did make an effort.

I could've sworn Australia was considered a continent.

You had no intentions of sharing that cake

:edit: i think you might be right Highguy... But i think the correct term is Continent of Australia Oceania.

Sure Latino, Mongo or another Aussie will correct us

It is, however if Australia is included, then Antarctica, which is also considered a continent, should be as well.

Nobody really lives there so it would be pointless to put it.

Plus, the polls are limited to a certain number of choices.

You could maybe have used a bit more polite approach with this you know

And really, this is just a "potato-potato" thing.

For all you to enlighten yourselves, courtesy of Wikipedia:

Quote:
Since geography is defined by local convention, there are several conceptions as to which landmasses qualify as continents, and which might be termed supercontinents (e.g. Africa-Eurasia), microcontinents (e.g. Madagascar or New Zealand), or subcontinents (e.g. South Asia). Seven landmasses and their associated islands are commonly reckoned as continents, but these may be consolidated. For example, North and South America are often considered a single continent, and Asia is often united with Europe. Ignoring cases where Antarctica is omitted, or where the terms Australasia or Oceania replaces Australia, there are half a dozen traditions for naming the continents.
Models
7 continents: Antarctica South America North America Europe Asia Africa Australia

6 continents:
Antarctica
America
Europe
Asia

Australia is the most unique country in the world, as it is a continent and an island
as well as just an ordinary country
argument ends here.

check the Aus gov website for the info...

alright well im not racist or stupid... you certainly didnt have to be so rude. here in the states it is taught that australia is a continent, thats why highguy thought it was as well. im going to correct it to "australia/oceania". i looked it up on a couple websites, and they have it listed as such.

i didnt include antartica because i only get 6 choices for the poll, i figured i would leave that one off as it was the least common. obviously if i had the choice i would have thrown it on there just to make it right, but theres no room.

if you have a problem with the poll the next time, just send me a PM instead of attempting to call me out as a stupid racist bitch on the forum. thanks
