I'd like to see the size of Africa compared to that of Alaska and Greenland.

That's also a comparison of countries to a friggin continent.

It is the functional equivalent of putting up a map of the US, dropping the outline of Texas somewhere randomly in it, and proclaiming that the US is bigger.

Well no shiat Sherlock.

A more meaningful comparison would be continents.

By millions of square miles
Asia - 17.1
Africa - 11.7
North America - 9.4
South America - 6.9
Antarctica - 5.5
Europe - 4
Australia - 3

Africa's only 2/3rds the size of Asia and only 10% larger than North America.

In other words, she ain't nothing special.

I wonder why they can't get their shite together. I'm sure it's because the white man bought slaves 400 years ago that they sold themselves.

What the hell does this have to do with the sheer size of Africa?

Someone made a sarcastic comment about it being so large and having so many resources and that it must be nice over there.

All that size and resources. I bet it's awesome over there




And don't forget the absence of whitey holding them all down. I'll bet it really is like Austria meets Alderaan.

The most squandered civilization in history. On a world map the continent of Africa should be renamed "Fail"

The fact that you regard Africa as a single civilization says much.

Change his "civilization" to [his first] "continent".

I'd never noted you nit-picking, before.

And over a quarter of Africa is desert, so you want to be cold and wet or blazing hot and dry?

Seems to be pretty much a wash to me.
