While I know nothing of Lech Walesa besides his name and nationality (born too late, I guess), that's a fairly blatant strawman. -
Yes. Nowhere is this more apparent than in China's move away from Communist policies.Originally posted by Oncle Boris View PostComment

It's certainly opened up a whole new world of eastern European porn and prostitution. Now you too can bang an 18 year old Ukrainian chick for the low, low price of just $20.Originally posted by Oncle Boris View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Lots to take it away from.
1. Obama. Started a war in Libya. Shouldn't there be a little clause that states 'didn't start a war' in order to win a peace prize?
2. Arafat. Same deal.
3. Mandela. South Africa's a terrible ****hole right now.
4. Kofi Annan
5. Jimmy Carter
6. Al Gore
The award has lost a tremendous amount of prestige since the turn of the century. It's nominated Carter, Gore, Annan and Obama. I wonder when Clinton's going to receive one? Then they can ensure that every democrat since LBJ automatically gets the peace prize.Last edited by Ben Kenobi; May 24, 2013, 21:50.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Yeah Arafat, WTF?
But Jimmy Carter got the peace deal with Egypt and has done a hell of a lot good around the world since.
Did Gore get it for inventing the Internet? Jesus, Mary and Joseph, that man is a boob.Last edited by Alexander's Horse; May 24, 2013, 21:53.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..

He got it for his retarded global warming movie. Also, for not being Bush (the same reason Obama got it). God, watching that almost made me burst a vein.Comment

Holy ****, Boris is actually pro-Soviet?
I'm reminded of how I used to hang out in an IRC channel for another forum with a lot of Europeans, and the Estonian guy was always the most staunchly pro-American, more than pretty much any of the Americans in the channel. He was about 45 years old 5 years ago I guess, and he always talked about how as an Estonian he had been saved from the Soviets by Ronald Reagan.Comment

Maybe the easy way out is to convince the media to always use quotes (quotation marks for the written word, air quotes for video) whenever describing someone as a Nobel "Peace" Prize "winner."
Then we can just vary our tonality to convey the degree of sarcastic irony involved in each individual award.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

I like this idea. Personally I think the prize became a joke after they gave it to Henry Kissinger. (I don't actually have a problem with Kissinger, but only an idiot would think that he is "peaceful".) The subsequent awards for Arafat, Gore and Obama are just WTF. Mandela's a debatable case. I personally like Mandela but the ANC is horrid. But giving him the prize isn't unjustifiable.Originally posted by -Jrabbit View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
