Yeah I really need to cut time out and do it . I know my sister would often sleep on my parents floor up in like 13 years old . <| sep |> so much bad advice in here wow . the real answer is you should be configuring your machine properly and not ignoring the updates to the point where it forces them . this is not hard at all and there really isn ' t any excuse . <| sep |> First of all , I never referred to Canada AS America . I said that because it makes up a third of the countries that North America consists of , I consider Canadians and Mexicans to be just as much American as those who are from the U . S . We are the United States of America , as in , part of we do not make up the whole of what people refer to as America , and to say otherwise would be ignorant , in my opinion . You mentioned Haitians . I would just consider them to be Haitian , as Haiti isn ' t connected to any actual continent . The same would apply to the people of all the other areas you referred to if their country isn ' t connected to another continent , I wouldn ' t think of referring to them as being from one . Greenland is a bit different . As they are connected to the rest of N . America , I , personally , would consider them to be American as well . But according to Wikipedia , they ' re more related to Europe on a political and cultural basis than N . America . But I haven ' t been talking about political or cultural connection . Just physical , geographical connection . Much like how people from England , France , Ireland , Sweden , etc . , are all collectively known as Europeans .
