No joke serious question below....

"How is this award decided?" For baseball you need 75% to make the HOF. Who votes and how many do you need to win this?

I'd like to know who he beat to get this award!

somerfrost 10-09-2009 11:28 AM
OK, someone has to say it....good choice!

Ghandi never got one and Arafat did if that tells you something about the award. Not to mention whoever nominated him did it 2 weeks into his administration. Hope it was GWB and a joke gone bad. Love the reaction though from the Polish leader.

Al Gore got one. Have no idea why.

Kofi Annan and the UN got one in 2001. I suppose they forgot the genocide in Rwanda and Bosnia on their watch.

Jimmy Carter got one despite his hateful and inflamatory stance against Israel.

The Nobel Peace prize has less creditability than the ESPY's.
Riddick Bowe would toss his into the garbage like he did his heavyweight title belt. He would keep the money though.
IEAH has a noble peace prize... Is there no end to the amount of money these guys spend trying to upgrade their image. ;):D

Those guys just had one big year ... kind of like Rich Gannon that one year he played for the Raiders.

Probably were in contract years as well.

So anyone who questions Israel ever in everness is being hateful and inflammatory?

Carter sucked as President (possible with help from Ronnie) but he has dedicated his life to good deeds since...only the most strident political hack could deny him that!

No but when Carter said they were the "WORSE" perpetrator of human rights violations "worse than even Rawanda" that closed his (Carter's) case and that was what Chuck was referring to. I believe?

Yeah he is a gem. What exactly has he done other than be used like a stooge by dictators and terrorists for their own purposes?

As long as Tim Tebow didn't get it ... I'm cool with it.

Not only does Obama owe his primary and general election victory solely to Bush .. but he now owes his Nobel Peace Prize to Bush.

Bush basically made the Nobel Peace Prize the global equivlant of an 'At least I'm not PG 1985' award.

Honu 10-09-2009 08:18 PM
I promise not to fight with anyone in the near future and I hope nobody else will fight also .......Can I get a Nobel Peace prize for that.
