    So, I'm wondering, why there are Communist politcal parties... if communism has nothing to do with politics? Is the World Worker's Party just an economic policy group?

    I also was unaware that being captured on a battlefied while practicing warfare in violation of the Geneva conventions was now considered kidnapping.

    It appears also that you lend some credence to the idea that adding swearwords to one's post increases it's impact. So, here goes: Damn, fuck shit fuck!

    Hope that helps.

    I know fools like you typically fail at math and logic and also rarely have a firm grasp on reality. Analyzing the actual dollars spent is worthless. What's important is $ per capita and as a percentage of a countries total GDP.

    Measured as $ per capita the US is #3 (behind Israel and Singapore):

    Measured as a percentage of GDP the US is #36:

    Random countries that spend more (as a % of the GDP): Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Singapore, China, Greece, Chile, Egypt

    US Defense spending as percent of GDP from 1940-2000.

    But I'm sure whatever you've learned in school (in whatever country you're from) doesn't cover these sort of things. Your ignorant leftist teachers just point out the the US is evil because it spends more money than other countries, as if that has a thread of logic to it.

    Strange, most of the big moves to super surveilance are in the socialist paradises of Western Europe. How many articles have we read about the extreme levels of camera coverage in many of Europe's big cities?
    In the US, it's mostly been in solidly democrat controlled areas like Chicago, which wants to put police cameras inside private businesses.

    What's the most widely acclaimed feature of the Xbox 360 so far? Xbox Live Arcade and Marketplace (downloading demos).

    You've heard of Redhat, right? Plenty of people and companies pay for Redhat Linux. We did. It's nice to have a company to bitch at when something goes wrong.

    Red Hat yesterday said its sale rose 55 per cent during its third quarter of fiscal 2005, reaching $50.9m from the year-ago total, $32.8m. Q3's sales were ten per cent higher than Q2's.

    The bulk of Red Hat's sales came through its Linux OS subscription services, which yielded $39.2m in the three months to 30 November 2004 - up 80 per cent on Q3 FY2004 and 12 per cent over the previous quarter.
