Title: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, October 9, 2009, 16:53:10 For "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples".
Really? I know he's into change and all that, but a Nobel Peace Prize? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8298580.stm Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: ghanimah on Friday, October 9, 2009, 16:59:39 After only 11 days in office as well (the committee had to make their decision based on what was accomplished before 1st February 2009) - it's a fucking joke!
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Langers on Friday, October 9, 2009, 17:01:29 Wow - after 11 days! They judged his presidential qualities quickly

De Klerk winning it was a joke....Kissinger and Carter have won it.....my favourite is 1929....very corny! Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, October 9, 2009, 18:23:54 I think the whole award is a joke anyway tbh.
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: jonny72 on Friday, October 9, 2009, 18:31:30 Maybe they gave it to him due to the vast improvement in international diplomacy that came about solely due to that cunt Bush leaving office - who has set back world peace a good 5 years. Its not like Obama had to do anything to ensure an improvement, just standing there silent for 10 seconds would be an immediate improvement.

If this anus can win then Obama deserves it. Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, October 9, 2009, 21:49:17 Comedy value. Nothing else.
A US Tony Blair, except sort of black. I can't wait to see how he fucks up their country. Change my arse. He can't change the monolith that is the American state, he can only make it worse. If Alfred Nobel was alive today he would place a lighted stick of dynamite up 'The One's' anus. Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: spacey on Friday, October 9, 2009, 21:57:42 I think you should of won it
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, October 9, 2009, 22:01:25 I think you should of won it "I think you should have won it" Jeez. Bloody moderators with shite grammar. Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: spacey on Friday, October 9, 2009, 22:04:04 I think you should have won it
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Talk Talk on Friday, October 9, 2009, 22:08:11 I think you should have won it That's better. Nah, It should have gone to Blair or Bush for all their efforts in preventing war in the middle east. Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: leefer on Friday, October 9, 2009, 22:11:55 I like the idea of it going to a person/s not in the limelight.....its all abit obvious really.
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, October 9, 2009, 22:14:02 I like the idea of it going to a person/s not in the limelight.....its all abit obvious really. Unless there's someone really deserving e.g. Mandela or Mother Theresa then I agree. In relation to Mandela, Obama's done fuck all for peace. Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: spacey on Friday, October 9, 2009, 22:17:38 I think you should have won it. the efforts that you make should be rewarded with a prize.

I think Stalin should have won it....maybe Mussolini too who was nominated in 1945...crazy. Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: spacey on Friday, October 9, 2009, 22:30:30 I can't make up my mind! Maybe you should win it.
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: chalkies_shorts on Friday, October 9, 2009, 23:01:17 So basically he's got it for either being black or not being George Bush. That is some award worth having.
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Bogus Dave on Friday, October 9, 2009, 23:22:40 I think it makes fuck all difference to anything, as does pretty much every award ever given out in the history of the world ever
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: oxford_fan on Saturday, October 10, 2009, 01:38:41 In relation to Mandela, Obama's done fuck all for peace. bullshit. he's done more than mandela in 12 days just by virtue of the power he has. obamas election should be the catalyst for a complete revolution of world politics and our own, whether our political system, parties and beauracracy is too far gone is our own problem that said, there is definite potential for him to bet yet another middle liner, but i dont think he will Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, October 10, 2009, 05:51:52 Barrack Moonbomba
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Ardiles on Saturday, October 10, 2009, 08:01:56 While Obama may have won the Nobel Peace Prize, he will be saddened by the knowledge that he can never manage to win a Pride of Britain Award.
Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: iffy on Saturday, October 10, 2009, 10:13:10 bullshit. he's done more than mandela in 12 days just by virtue of the power he has. Yeah. Spending 27 years in prison, then refusing to be released with conditions attached, co-ordinating the negotations to end apartheid and then leading the transition of South Africa into a peaceful majority-led country was for shit. I've done more than that before breakfast and I've got a hangover.

Interesting that they think Stalin's country was the Russian Federation. If they can't even get the name of the country right, no wonder they come up with some of these nominees. Title: Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Post by: Barry Scott on Saturday, October 10, 2009, 10:31:27 Seems the Noble Prize is a bit of joke now doesn't it? Although i think the lowest point of such a coveted prize was the 2004 nomination of Bush and Blair for the peace prize. Completely fucking pathetic.

Los Angeles, July 28 (RIA Novosti) Fans of the late pop star Michael Jackson have launched an internet campaign to have their idol nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Two online petitions have already collected more than 12,000 signatures in support of nominating the singer, who died of cardiac arrest June 25, for one of the world’s most prestigious awards. “Michael’s message for humankind has always been rooted in compassion, and kindness. He has succeeded a lifelong dedication to the well being of humanity,” one of the petitions said. The fans explain that Jackson should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for devoting his life to “helping others in their darkest time of need”. “It would be nearly impossible to count the multiple hundreds of millions of dollars Michael has donated to charity from his own finances and also through organising major fund raising events,” reads the petition, which has been signed by more than 2,000 people.
