Afghan human rights activist Sima Samar. She currently leads the

special envoy to Darfur and is apparently also not as worthy as Barack

Barack Hussein Obama - he's worthy of the Peace Prize for doing
nothing.


Good points. *Too bad they made the Peace prize a joke.

Why? Because it's not completely unusual for the prize to be awarded to
promote change...

Never saw that before.


Because our "new" friend Nom de Harry just made it up... Does that
surprise you?

Seems past winners had solid past
accomplishments in the "peace" arena.
Even Arafat, though he proved intransigent in the end.

Who do you think is likely to have a greater impact...


Obama MIGHT in the future, and he might not.
Common prudence says look at the above list first.
Genuine work and sacrifice. Sadat won I think, and paid dearly.
I'm far from an expert on it and don't pay much attention.
That this award strikes me as silly doesn't make me a bad person.

"...and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best
work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of
standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.
The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish
Academy of Sciences; that for physiology or medical works by the
Karolinska Institute in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in
Stockholm, and that for champions of peace by a committee of five
persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting."

From Alfred Nobel's will.

Look at the wiki page about the Nobel Peace prize.

Ok, I looked. Obama doesn't belong on the list.
My opinion.
Seems the committee is working on "hope" criteria instead of
established work as in the past.
Maybe he'll justify it in the end, but the "rules" have certainly
changed.
BTW, John Paul II, the Polish Pope, should be on that list.
He exuded peace and love, and spread it where ever he went.

You're right he might or might not, but most presidents have far-reaching
impact. GWB is an example. Not for good, but his impact on the world was
large.

I don't think you're a bad person. If I implied that, it was
unintentional.

I was just kidding. I know I'm not a bad person. Mostly.

--Vic


I don't know if he deserved it or not. He got it. We should be proud that
the Nobel committee thinks so highly of him. That hasn't been case of
recent presidents.

Maybe it was really the NoBalls award.


You gotta love her logic.

"We should all be proud of nomdeplum because Harry thinks shes the
cat's meow."


Makes sense if you remember Harry only love Harry.. Let's put it this
way, if you ignore Harry, you should ignore all of his sock puppets,
even the new one...


That would be a worthy idea except that Harry's 'blessing' now carries
about as much weight as that of the Nobel Committee.

Just goes to show that the Norwegian parliament is just as corrupt as
your congress.

hesheit's got the logic often used by 'she's'


So does Jim Hertvik but I'm not positive yet that she is he. I'm waiting
for hesheit to explode. That'll give us better insight into the
personality. My candidates are hertvik, jps, and gould in that order.


Its Harry... Got tired of literally everyone but three here filtering

It's hard to decide whether Scott Ingersoll is a cretin or a moron.

Sorry, ****-for-brains, but it's not me. And it certainly isn't hertvik,
since he was a republican conservative.
