    First, which continent do you suppose india is on? Second, did you see that continent mentioned in the comic?

    The problem the liberals you mention have with the right is their blinders to anything they don’t want to acknowledge.

      I’m from Oceania so to us “South East Asia” is north/west… So we’re not about to start calling them south east asians.

      P.S Different places have different conventions. Europe just isn’t our geographic center. Now you know.

        … just to be clear, you think “South East Asia” refers to it’s location relative to europe and not it’s relative location to the rough centre of Asia ?

        So, south america is called that because it’s … south of europe ?

          Haha, what a loser, imagine getting off on feeling superior to people online. What a petty soul.

          Pathetic.

          “Just to be clear” …and a bad liar to boot.

            So a deflection and a personal attack rather than an actual answer, that explains a lot.

            I’ll just assume yes and save us both some back and forth.

            No need for a follow up non-reply , i won’t see it.

              See how you’re pretending to have made some important point when it would only be important point if you were an absolutely pathetic and superficial loser?

              What’s worse is that you were so incredibly tactless and blatant about it.

              You may as well have just said “I’m a loser with no self-esteem, this is my only way to feel good, can you help me?”… Only that would have at least shown a modicum of self-awareness and empathy.

              But you clearly went for your usual grinning idiot who thinks they’re about to feel superior to a someone route.

              I’m just pointing out what you were doing there “just to be clear”… And I’m not about to have empathy for someone who was trying to be an asshole on purpose and thought they could dogpile on.

              You have zero social capabilities, and need to fix yourself. Find some other way to feel good about yourself. Seriously.

              So don’t try that shit with me. Swallow your anger and go get over being called out for it.

        I’ll grant that terms have different meanings in different regions. English is rife with it. But the term “South East Asia” is in reference to the part of Asia, not the direction you have to go to get there. If we went by that then all of Asia would be “West Asia” for me and most of America would be South America.
