11. This is all due to the presumption of what is "North" by Eurocentrics
especially the map makers.

What if what we have decided is "North" is really "South" and it really isn't WINTER here it is really SPRING and if that is the case aren't we really Australia?

Think about it.

13. No we didn't have it back then
but if we did I wouldn't have gotten to that conclusion as soon as I had to start thinking I would have just given up and said "IT must have been God that did it"

What a great example to set for the children huh?

Then again how would that have been to have THAT answer at the ready when we were in school?

Teacher asks question

(don't know the answer) "F**k it God did it"

Teacher legally obligated to accept that answer. Everybody always gets an "A".
