Look at it this way, ancient people crossed the Bering land bridge onto Alaska. Alaska is the first place they touched. Alaska is one of the United States of America. USA was the first country to be touched by people therefore the name goes to the people of the country that was first inhabited. The people of the USA choose to be called Americans therefore anyone else who wants a name has to come up with something else 'cause the people of the USA grabbed "Americans" first. Biatch!
Are you serious? That has nothing to do with anything. That is stupid, retarted, go shoot yourself, stupid. for being stupid

I thought you lived in Aruba? How do you consider that the continent? Isn't it an island.
Hawaii is part of the United States of America, but it's not included when referring to the continental US I don't think.
