So have I, which is why I posted it.

Does anyone know where you can get reliable stats from a credible source on military spending for the US & the EU countries? I need it for an essay.

CFAP count?

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lHmCN3MBMI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lHmCN3MBMI</a>

I did my paper for my Domestic Violence class on male victims of DV. Wish I'd had that video a week ago - I would have chased down those studies. (The paper was due yesterday.)

A few facts I found interesting. (No cites, as I found them in books, government reports, or research I personally did.)
1) Women are over 3 times more likely to use a deadly weapon when they batter.
2) Male victims are seen as "deserving" abuse (i.e. they did something to deserve it) or as "funny."
3) The Office of Violence Against Women (the DOJ agency that gives out DV funding) will not fund a group unless that group "primarily works with women." (That is the official policy.)
4) The Violence Against Women Act uses gender-specific language when talking about programs to be researched and funded. (A California federal court found this to be unconstitutional.)
5) Although women have successfully argued "Battered Woman Syndrome" to mitigate a charge of first-degree murder of a batterer, no case can be found where a man successfully used "Battered Spouse Syndrome" when charged with the first-degree murder of a female intimate partner. (One man in CA did successfully use the defense when charged with the first-degree murder of a male partner.)
6) Nationwide, case law discussing "battered spouse syndrome" (or a synonym) uses a gender-specific term ("battered woman," "battered women's," or "battered wife") over 80% of the time. 13 states use only gender-specific terms. 26 states and the District of Columbia use gender-specific language 90% of the time or more. (Connecticut barely missed that cut-off, using gender-specific language 89.6% of the time.)


Can you tell I am rather passionate about this subject?

Er, I know this is a VERY biased source, but I haven't found anything to refute the numbers...

From what I heard it's the policies not revenue that make a country socialist anyways.

Yeah, keep up the good work- maybe you can show us your paper?

Useful for reminding Asian Americans that they shouldn't be content with "model minority" status.
That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

Sorry for the resurection, but I found this; Even though it isn't political, it is kinda scary:
