I too hate the comment you're replying to, but calling the USA - hell, even North America, though I don't see how that would apply here, I'm just trying to accomodate you - a fucking continent is just wrong. Coupled with the good ol' "my state is larger than most European countries" - yeah, no.
There are much better arguments to be made against that sort of comment.

Just go ahead and fiddle around with different US states or the country itself, and you'll find out quite easily just how big the "united" states are.
