Thank you for the geography lesson those of us who graduated from a university didn’t need.



All I have is an Alabama public school education and I knew that

You're correct if you're including all of South America (not clear from your post)

So why are you pointing it out?


There was a post late last night listing the most dangerous cities in the world. Most were in Central America and Mexico. Someone lumped all of them together, and a pissing match ensued that Mexico wasn’t a part of Central America.

You may be right, but Mexico should be lumped in with Central America, in a cultural sense. USA and Canada are much more similar than USA and Mexico.

This is obviously correct but the OP is too busy showing off how smart he is to appreciate it

Ah. Well then I guess the big mystery is, who gathered all those remarkably different cultures together and taught them all how to park their cars on their lawns?

"Central America" may mean different things to various people, based upon different contexts:


quote:

The non-official United Nations geoscheme for the Americas defines Central America as all states of mainland North America south of the United States, hence grouping Mexico as part of Central America for statistics purposes, but historically Mexico is considered North America.

Have you been to Mexico before or met any actual Mexicans? Besides the ones that mow lawns?

Northern Mexico has far more in common with America than any Central American country, other than language and religion.

Are we trying to pretend Canada doesn’t have brown people?
