At least the british were "creative" enough to put the word "new" before every name XDHahaha. The amount of suburb names that are shared between cities in Australia would make you change your mind.
Also the overuse of the names "Victoria", "Elizabeth" and "Macquarie" for everything from streets to suburbs to parks to bodies of water to states.
There's a King and Queen street in every town, village and city in Britain I swear. >.>

Seconding this. There's a suburb in Sydney whose main streets are "Brisbane St, Melbourne St, Perth St, Adelaide St" and so on (i.e. names of capital cities in Australia).
You're island started as a prison so you did not get the most creative starting bunch sorry, but hey now you got lots of shiny buildings. and a big red rock out in the middle of no where.

I don't think being a convict is related to lack of creativity :P

but being thrown on to an island with little to no food no weapons and little shelter from other people or the wild make creativity a secondary thing next to living.

Oh yeah. Everything in Brisbane and Melbourne is called River City this, River City that (presumably the same in Adelaide and Perth too), everything in Sydney is Harbour City this, Harbour City that, and everything on the Gold Coast is Surf City this, Surf City that.

by rule of thumb, Hollywood movies about comic book superheroes tend to suck.
There are exceptions, but most of them are just BAD.

I believe that stereotypes are the reason why so many negative images of people endure. I don't find them useful, even for humor purposes.
He only finds them useful when discussing Palestinians or Muslim culture in general.Close, but no cigar. I feel it necessary to question people who fight against negative stereotypes of Muslims and Palestinians when no one is stereotyping them.
Win.You say this every time anyone disagrees with me on anything.

I guess I did too.
I could respond with "That was a magnifique statement ma'am" but that would make me look smart.

No one stereotyping Muslims? lulz

I think the thing about Muslims I love the most... that comes to the top of my head, is their Naan bread, especially the really yellow stretchy variety. I love that stuff. You can dip it in anything. I'd take good Naan over chips any day. Alas, it is nowhere to be found, around where I live anyway.

I like that movie.

I like that movie.
I can imagine why XD
in all seriousness, I liked the comedy elements on that movie (Specially the first half involving Harry thinking his wife is cheating on him) but that has got to be one of the most unfair movies to muslim people EVER.
Arnie has a trend on doing movies like that, Collateral Damage was incredibly unfair to latin americans and colombians in general (Hint: I've been in colombia, and actually lived there for nearly half a year, its not a warzone like it was depicted on the movie. Actually 80% of the country is pretty safe, and its only in the deep forest areas were the FARCs live)
I like the actor, but so many of his movies tend to play on racial stereotypes (Hello? the portrayal of Costa Rica on Predator or Guatemala on Commando rings any bells?)
=/
