    2012 Nobel Peace Prize

    So, I realize the prize has gone downhill since they gave it to Obama...and Al Gore...and Yasir Arafat...and Henry Kissinger...

    But the European Union? Really? This isn't some sort of elaborate gag? Is there anyone not on the committee who actually thinks this was a good idea?

        They need the prize money to bail out Greece

          At least they haven't pulled a "Person of the Year" and given it to everyone on the Internet yet.

            Henry Kissinger wasn't a bad choice.

              HC would only take issue with that if it included Democrats.

              Like HC, I'm livid they haven't given it to Bush yet.

                  It speaks volumes about the recent history of the Nobel Peace Prize that it's just been awarded to an organisation founded on notions of ending a tradition of war among its members stretching back over time immemorial, which has succeeded in doing just that over 60+ years (an unprecedented duration of peace), and people are surprised by it.

                    The European Union didn't prevent war. The threat of invasion by the Soviet Union, and the massive curbstomping of Germany by the United States and the Soviet Union in World War II prevented that.

                    The European Union is an undemocratic waste of everyone's time and money.

                        True. Think of all the extra Cambodians Pol Pot would have had to kill if it wasn't for Kissinger's good work.
                        There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                          where have i heard this sort of reasoning before...

                          Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol is working like a charm!
                          Lisa: That’s specious reasoning, dad. By your logic, I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
                          Homer: Hmm; how does it work?
                          Lisa: It doesn’t work; it’s just a stupid rock!
                          Homer: Uh-huh.
                          Lisa: … but I don’t see any tigers around, do you?
                          Homer: Lisa, I want to buy your rock…
