Ugly And Pretty Continent Contest!!!!!!!!!!

[Warman17]

Theres only the continents of Eurasifrica, America, Antarctica, and Australia.

Why should Europe be separate from Asia when theres hundreds of miles connecting them. And then why separate Eurasia from Africa because of an isthmus(same with america).

Which raises the question, what constitutes a continent?

Because people freaking do, because they're freaking guidelines, now post on the freaking topic or don't post. Nobody cares if you want to try and look smart by asking silly questions. We're not here to debate the a priori truths of continent-hood. Just answer the questions or go to hell (preferably the latter).

Eurasia looks like a spaceship..

Anyway, I for one claim the conventional norm to debate the meaning of the word sexy, and its irresponsible handling of applying the word in answering this truly most urgent issue facing us today. To begin with, Asia's big luscious rump would be considered quite sexy in most non-Western cultures; but because most of those polled are from the West, I don't think we can possibly conclude which continent is indeed, the most ugly, with this insufficient, not at all representative, clear exercise in ethnocentric phallocentricism. Obviously.

I reaally don't think not adhering to a topic that borders on spam to begin with is sufficient to be all worked up over.

On Topic: North America's hair looks stupid. So I pick that one.

From worst to best:

1. N America
2. Africa
3. Antarctica
4. S America
5. Asia
6. Oceania
7. Europe

 

[Mirc]

Antarctica is clearly the ugliest of them all.

 

[Perfection]

Gondwana sure was a hot potata

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

I consider Eurasia, not Asia and Europe, to be a continent and to heck with you all. So:

1. Africa
2. Australia (although I refer to the main landmass, excluding Tasmania, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the rest of Oceania. Although New Guinea is pretty cute.)
3. South America
4. Antarctica
5. North America
6. Eurasia

Some other islands I like:

Madagascar
Ireland
Hokkaido

If its a crinkly baroque feel you want from a continent, it has to be Europe.

 

[classical_hero]

Antarctica is the ugliest and Australia is by far the sexiest continent.

 

[Mango]

Australia looks like a fetus. I believe that makes you, sir, a pedophile.

 

[Catharsis]

N.America is having a bad hair day.

What guidelines are there for being a continent? Enlighten me please. Its not a silly question, its one that shapes how we look at the world. And how is it not a justified question? My answer isn't even up on the poll list, and since there is no 'other' option I cant discuss the topic as you've limited it to.
