Not really sure how that's a response to me...I don't think I made any comment about your knowledge of where your country is...but you sort of made my point with your surly, (sarcastic?) unreasonableness.
Thank you.

Just because your father is also bad a geography doesn't prove "something weird" is going on. It might just mean you have an inadequate education system in your state.
Did he get high grades in geography? Did you? Do you know anything about Australia apart from what you don't remember?
"Whoever made the map"? The guy who mapped Australia also mapped New Zealand and other islands. You don't even know who he is (which should be a must when argueing against the credibility of his maps). New Zealand did not just start drifting north.. and even if it did the islands would have broken apart. If you look at the map properly you will see that NZ fits the lower Australian east coast perfectly.

I mean, if you really cant tell the difference between a map that looks like D as opposed to a map that looks like C you really have to be a retard. So, if i conclude that you are right and i am bad at geography, by my own standards i am a retard.
So good job accidently(or purposefully) insulting many forum goers of their own intelligence.

Says the guy who used the word retard five times. There are many ATS members who have devopmental disablities that would find that word offensive. For you to use such a term in such a derogatory way only proves how credible your other arguments are. It is as bigoted as the N-word. I am disapointed that admin have chosen to allow you to use it when the n word is censored. Perhaps they do not want them posting on ATS.
I believe you only answered in such a antagonistic way to avoid the Captain Cook subject.

I did the Photoshop manipulation on A, B, D and E and also removed the "tip" of North Australia because it was never there before in my memory and some other members memory.
I wanted to see if someone else had a memory of this "tip" being gone.
