Listen to Nigel Farage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfvK2...layer_embedded Why do I think Obama got the peace price was a sad joke? He had done 0 for peace as president as he had been president for just a few days. |

Obama didn't managed to do what he promised, but that's US politics. |

Pretty sad seeing the land that conceived democracy fall victim to mob violence and anarchists.

Oh sure if you wanna forget about the US-imposed Monarchy, the military dictatorship that followed after and the current regime that prefers austerity to dignity, I guess it's pretty sad. Also Obama getting the noble peace prize is comparable to Reagan being called a peaceful president. In that both of them side with very dangerous, massacre-loving, dictatorship frenzied allies that eventually betray them in the end for a variety of reasons. Ain't it just liek Nicaragua? |

The Nobel Peace Prize is so frequently a joke, even early on. Teddy Roosevelt (hero of the Spanish-American War and Mr. Big Stick Policy) won it for helping negotiate an end to the Russo-Japanese War, which probably was on its way toward ending anyway. :rolleyes:
Peace is like the Liberal Arts category. So often it feels like they want to just give somebody a Nobel Prize, but that person didn't really do anything important, so they say it's for "peace". That's my theory for why Al Gore's environmental schtick got him a peace prize, instead of something having to do with actual science. Other times, maybe they just need something to fill up the peace prize slot. European Union? Sure! Next year, let's give it to the United Nations. EDIT: Whoops, it looks like they already did that in 1965. And a few other times. :embarrassed: Quote:

Obama's nobel prize still stands as the pinnacle of absurdity in this regard. |
No, that would be Arafat's.

Obama on the other hand didn't do anything by the time he got his Nobel prize, I would go as far as to say that considering the terrible moral fiber of 99,9% of all politicians that I, a regular well intention slob who does the best he can, or most of us on this forum are worthier recipients to this prize then Obama ever was. |
Nah, I think the biggest absurdity was Al Gore's Peace Prize, which he won for his "efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change".
Because otherwise, there probably would've been a huge war or something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...rize_laureates |

Any real treatment is decades in the future anyway, another great thing about that distant future is that you will be dead and the earth won't have to bear your assholery anymore. |

If I were to say, for example, that I think all serbs are backwards troglodytes who are a blemish on the human gene pool and we should "cure" the world of them, then I'd be an asshole. |
Wait, homosexuality is a "problem" now?
