  1. Huh… I always thought that section on the map was the European part of Turkey

  2. Because Greeks have the copyright over ‘Europe’ name, so if you don’t allow them to be in Western, they will not allow you to be in Europe.

  3. Well your map also says Bay of Biscay and English Channel so I don’t care about your filthy anglois geographic feelings.

  4. Cause they invented the basis for what we recognise as the best form of government… That makes em western European, for that alone.

    That being said their money management is banana republic at best..

  5. Greece isn’t European.
    Greece isn’t Asian.
    Greece isn’t African.
    Greece is Hellenic. It’s different and it is better.

  6. Because all the best bits are in the British Museum in London, and it doesn’t get more Western European than that (fuck off, Paris)

  7. The real question this map poses, is how the hell Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are considered to be part of Europe.

  8. They are about as far eastern as Finland is, which we count as well. Just like Eastern Europe, Western Europe in this context is an ideological construct, not a geographically solid one. Also, OP, you are a Brit. I though you didn’t care about “Europe”.

  9. You see a Cretan princess was fucked by a bull and the rest is history. It’s Georgios continent, we’re just living in it.

  10. I’m sure every part of Greece is west of the eastern point of Norway. And Norway is obviously Western Europe?

    I think.

    (Is this how this sub is supposed to work? No? Dang it.)

  11. I love how we have all came to the defence of our Greek brothers. They are the creators of our society and the first to defend it. It’s not gay pride month , it’s Greek pride forever!!!

  12. The question is how the fuck is European Russia “Asia”. Is South America Africa by any chance?

  13. Western Europe is formed by Europe creators (PIGS) and long-time desavaged areas (France, Benelux, Germany, Escandinavia). We include the Brits just for humanitarian reasons.

  14. Because our Greek homies invented us. So, the next time you plan to do stupid stuff, ask yourself the following:

    What would Sokrates, Plato or Aristotle do in my position? Am I living up to these monumental pillars of thought with what I am planning to do?

  15. because we like them, except for a void month in 2004, for which they can go fuck themselves, but asides from that, we like them.

  16. Western Europe is a mindset, not a place.

    Take Britain for example. Very obviously geographically “western European,” but mentally right off the coast of Canada/USA.

  17. Literally invented democracy and set the foundation to everything. While British people were worshiping rocks.
