The Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke. Look who won it last year.

[Soul Crusher]

Ok, I get it, this board is full of people with their own agendas who don't really give a shit about anything else. Cool, now I know.

Because after the complete farce that occurred last year, it is meaningless atthis point. 

[Soul Crusher]

Arafat won that "award" for damn sake.   

[Soul Crusher]

Yet you manage to give NO comment on this years award to Liu Xiaobo and EXCLUSIVELY point to previous years (again, your own agenda towards Obama).

ARE HUMAN RIGHTS NOT WORTHY OF YOUR TIME AND DISCUSSION?


edit: fuck this stupid board, your stupid discussions and all you fucking pseudo intellectuals on your high horses

Oh relax rancis, we already did discuss this - itsfreaking bullshit what the chinese are doing - what else do you want us to say?

Obama honors Nobel winner with statement about himself
Washington Examiner ^ | 10 Dec 2010 | Byron York



There was an extraordinary scene at the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo Friday morning. The prize went to imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, who was barred by the Chinese government from attending the ceremony. It was the first time since 1935 -- when the prize went to a winner imprisoned in one of Adolf Hitler's concentration camps -- that the Peace Prize winner did not appear personally to accept the award.

So on this notable occasion, the White House released a statement from President Obama on the awarding of the prize to Liu in absentia. And this is how Obama's statement began:

One year ago, I was humbled to receive the Nobel Peace Prize -- an award that speaks to our highest aspirations, and that has been claimed by giants of history and courageous advocates who have sacrificed for freedom and justice.

Critics have often said of Obama that "it's all about him," that he has a tendency to reference himself no matter what subject he is discussing. Could he do any more to prove them right?

You don't get it. Whoever the far-left wants to get this award gets it, whether he actually does something noteworthy or not. Obama got it SIMPLY FOR GETTING ELECTED and NOT BEING GEORGE BUSH.

For the love of the Almighty, the man got nominated for it LESS THAN TWO WEEKS after being in office.

[Soul Crusher]

Obama owns your mind.

He is the most powerful person in the world short of the Fed Reserve Chairman.   

You voted or this jackass - now take ownership. 

 

[dario73]

Who gives a crap about the nobel prize? Oh, whoop de doo. Arafat won one. All Obama did to win one was to be born black.

Please. The Nobel Foundation has as much worth as the Ms. Universe pageant. Utterly worthless to humanity.

[dario73]

Obama owns your mind.

Actually, Republicans own Obama. Keep up skippy. You are a bit slow.

.There was an extraordinary scene at the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo Friday morning.  The prize went to imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, who was barred by the Chinese government from attending the ceremony.  It was the first time since 1935 -- when the prize went to a winner imprisoned in one of Adolf Hitler's concentration camps -- that the Peace Prize winner did not appear personally to accept the award.

So on this notable occasion, the White House released a statement from President Obama on the awarding of the prize to Liu in absentia. And this is how Obama's statement began:

One year ago, I was humbled to receive the Nobel Peace Prize -- an award that speaks to our highest aspirations, and that has been claimed by giants of history and courageous advocates who have sacrificed for freedom and justice.

Critics have often said of Obama that "it's all about him," that he has a tendency to reference himself no matter what subject he is discussing.  Could he do any more to prove them right?  But just to show that he is, in fact, humble, the president followed his opening sentence with this:

Mr. Liu Xiaobo is far more deserving of this award than I was.

In the rest of his statement, Obama writes that "We respect China's extraordinary accomplishment in lifting millions out of poverty, and believe that human rights include the dignity that comes with freedom from want."  But of course, Liu wasn't at the Nobel ceremony in Oslo because of the Chinese government, so Obama adds, "Mr. Liu reminds us that human dignity also depends upon the advance of democracy, open society, and the rule of law. The values he espouses are universal, his struggle is peaceful, and he should be released as soon as possible."  And then, before closing, the president makes one more reference to himself:

I regret that Mr. Liu and his wife were denied the opportunity to attend the ceremony that Michelle and I attended last year.

Indeed.

I never once referenced politics DID I? NO you are just ASSUMING that I am a democrat or "not keeping up" with the times just because I said Obama owns 3333's mind (which is 100% true, isn't it)

When a person who wields as much power as ZERO does, and that person sets out to intentionally collapse the nation or pursue policies that willhave the same ends, yes, I am focused on that person like a laser.
