Traitors are now being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize!
« on: 2012-02-28, 17:35:14 »
And I thought the formerly highly esteemed organization had sunk to low depths by giving it to our Islamic Apologist and Chief back in 2009, a mere two months after being elected but now we have blatant traitors of our country nominated. Poor Alfred Nobel must be rolling over in his grave!

To be fair, it's just a nomination. For all we know, it was probably a single submission.

But yeah, I think the organization is starting to become irrelevant since their choices in recent years have been a bit baffling.

It was probably his own mother who nominated him. Hopefully it wasn't anyone in the US. :(

Really, it's turning into something similar to an honorary degree from a college now.  :P

Now, for an example of one they did right, I submit Norman Borlaug:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug

He was awarded the prize in 1970. This man is credited with saving the lives of over a billion. That's "billion", with a "b", as in a thousand million...

If he hadn't been awarded the Nobel, I'd have been really mad.

Doesn't the prize winner also get a million in cash?  I seem to recall hearing that.

I believe so, yes. Though many end up donating most of it.
