All the big English speaking countries seem to be trying to out crazy each other. Canada had that crazy mayor, Australia hates brown people and banned gay marriage, the UK has lots of class issues, the USA is the USA....

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

USA: So USA its problems are now simply called USA.
Pretty much sums it up.

Although we are about to put a coal export terminal in the middle of one of the seven wonders of the natural world, and dumb tonnes upon tonnes of waste upon said wonder in the process. Beat that America!

The reef. Uluru would survive a nuclear blast, but the Great Barrier Reef is on its death bed.

It's perfectly harmless, provided they keep regulations, don't crash, and navigate without engines.

Edit: And the USA would be beating that, but sadly there's little you can do wrong with a giant canyon in the ground.

Oh yeah, because coal corporations are totally know for following the rules, never having accidents, and being patient.

Even then not so much, they need to dig up a lot of seabed and dump all that somewhere, and current plans are to dump it right on top of the reef, pretty much killing off that area. People have lobbied to have the drudge dumped either onshore or much further out to sea so it will have no effect, but both options have been deemed too expense.

The other huge concern is that ships use water as ballast, and they get that water from where ever they dock. So a ship in china would fill its tanks with water in their dock to keep itself safely low enough in the water, come over here, dump the water out and replace the weight with coal. This very often introduces foreign algae and other microbes that can destroy the surrounding natural environment.

Even if everything goes exactly to plan, and not a drop of oil was ever split, it wouldn't matter.

Something that protects sex workers instead of harming them, I hope.

They need to stop being wishy-washy.  Either ban it out-right... or actually make laws that work in reality.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Same-sex marriage passed by court order...in Utah.
*head explodes*

Well, that's one highly conservative state taken out of the running for Last To Gay, and very early on as well. Now it's definitely between Alabama and Mississippi.
