So, if you want me to read up on Australian history, so that I have a better understanding of it, do you have any book title suggestions?
Or will any general history book on Australia do?

you little bitches and your anti-american bullshit make me sick. Especially those of you who are american. pussy fucktards.
the whole point of this is that you would -think- in a fucking war game forum that it would be common knowledge that all the maps in this war game are based around real places...that was part of the appeal of it for me. but all you bitch made america haters want to make it about americans thinking there parts in WW2 are the most important (never mind that they WERE the most important you fucks) when that isnt even what its about.
You'd be suprised how many people actually do mistake knowledge for intellect. Infact, I'd go as far to say that everyone does actually make that mistake when judging someone.John-Paul wrote:

Too many people seem to be confusing knowledge with intelligence. Having knowledge about a certain subject doesn't guarantee you're intelligent. Similarly, lacking knowledge about a certain subject doesn't mean you lack intelligence. This is why true IQ tests are not knowledge-based. Rather, they test cognitive capabilities so that, independent of factors such as age, the extent of one's education, etc. you can still demonstrate a very high IQ. Hell, I've got an old copy of The Guinness Book of Records that states the highest IQ ever recorded was demonstrated by a 4-year-old (210 on the Terman Index).
The idea that the original poster is stupid simply because he had previously not known Wake was real is, itself, utterly stupid. Unless someone here can demonstrate that they were born with the knowledge that Wake Island is a real place, then I'd say, "Well, somewhere, at some point in time, you had to LEARN of its existence. You weren't necessarily stupid beforehand, nor intelligent afterward ... and the point at which you did learn the information is of no consequence." The same applies to the OP.
I'm Australian and I've known about Wake ever since I was very young. Doesn't mean I'm smart and the OP is dumb ... it's a lot more to do with the fact my Dad's a WWII buff.
Why flame and ridicule the guy simply because the information was new to him and he was unaware it was well-known to so many others? Do you have any reason for it other than to try and present yourself as superior?

Well said, the exact nature of what constitutes intelligence and intellect is incredibly subjective and debatable. There are tons of nifty little quotes and theories but the fact remains that most measures of intelligence people seem to sue here or anywhere such as World War II knowledge, different IQ tests and scales, the SAT, any of that, can and have in the past been accused of things like regional bias, racism, sexism and classism.John-Paul wrote:
