I hope most of you who picked N America only do so out of sarcasm or jest. The US didn't become the greatest country in the world because of laziness.

You forgot antartica, but I would say Africa because hey that place is pathetic. I think a lot of people out there probably don't do a heck of a lot. I would not say north america is any lazier than europe...our working hours, for one thing, are much higher. I'd be inclined to embrace stereotypes and say that asia is the least lazy.

The problem with Africa is not necassarily laziness, but government oppression.

no but we are what we are because we go around policing the world like we own the damn planet
 
Asia probably. Or any continent that generally doesn't allow 50% of their population to work (namely, women). They should win by a longshot.

If you picked North America, I sorely doubt you've ever traveled outside this continent.

The Hard working Mexicans and Canadians don't outweigh our sheer laziness. North America.

Amazing.

The US has some of the longest work weeks and least vacation time of any industrialized nation.

But then, it's cool to be a self loathing American these days :roll:

Proof we are not lazy. 😀

Keep the P&N BS trolling outta here, mmkay?

US workers work more hours/week than many, we also take less vaccations. Take what you will from that.

I'm going with Africa, though Europe wouldn't be far behind.
 
Europe

bastards get 2 hour lunches and stuff, take more vacations

Americans work more and vacation less, the asshats that voted North America need to do some reading.
 
I think the United States has the lowest sustained unemployment in the world too. Our economy is a wonder of the world.

Yep, Germany is in double digit unemployment and the rest of Europe is hovering near that.
