NASA has cooperated with the Russians in the open for a long time, and have paid them millions of dollars. Those Soyuz flights to the ISS weren't free.
Facebook shot themselves in the foot by introducing censorship on their platform. They automatically detect nudity, and it doesn't even need to have an embedded watermark.
I live in a western country, and I'm not planning to visit either China or the US. If China spies on me, nothing will happen with any of the gathered info. If the US spies on me, this info MIGHT be shared with my country's secret services. I'm slightly safer with China spying on me than with the US spying on me.
communism isn't evil, but inevitably leads to a dictatorship. Communism is never reached, and will never work on a scale larger than a handful of people.
if you can't use sexist laws to combat sexism (which is a fair point), what alternatives are there? Many people keep saying "this law sucks", but I don't see anyone providing an alternative.
this is not true. You're not automatically at fault. However, in a car you will be held responsible, since the cyclist is weaker than the car. In a collision between a car and a bicycle it's the car that makes it dangerous.

You don't need to innovate to get biodegradable straws. Straws predate plastics. There's a hint in the name what material was used before plastics.

this is capitalism in action. People pay for using it, and they want to get the most value for money.
I've seen hundreds of Mohammed cartoons since the Charlie Hebdo massacre. In general, publishing a Mohammed cartoon isn't a problem.
well yes, african americans are pretty rare outside of the americas. By definition.

I'm thinking city buses. Frequent stops at fixed point, and lots of accelerating/decelerating.
They all deserve criticism. I'm not so sure islam deserves it more than all other religions, but it definately deserves criticism.
except that no religion is currently more criticized than islam.
and for a real world example (from 1859) just look up the carrington event.
Not in Europe.

I consider US spies committing crimes in other countries evil.
In this case, google wasn't evil. Google was used to expose evil.
