Hah, I personally see no problem with it. I just want to see the replies of the previous anti-war fanatics we had here. Haha, you guys have to be pulling out your hair.

There is no chance in hell Bush will receive this prize.
Alfred was anti-war (even though he made dynamite and owned Bofors :p )

heh,
there ought to be some purdy big shit if both o those loons win.

Most modern art given an award is crap, maybe the Nobel prize is getting modernised too!
Seriously though, there is nothing I can think of that would earn these two idiots the peace prize and to give it to them would be a slap in the face for all previous (deserved) winners, future ones also.
:rolleyes:

Oh yeah and Chirac should have been nominated ;)
Say are you left leaning UKers friends with the mayor of London by chance?
-
Nope, Ken Livingstone is an idiot and London doesn\'t need a mayor, it survived well enough until he arrived and just adds another layer of middle management and red tape bullshit to swallow our tax money before it does any good.
To back up the idiot statement here\'s one of his gems. He had the timing of traffic lights around trafalger square changed so that pedestrians had about 1 1/2 minutes to cross the road while the huge traffic jam had 15 seconds before they went red again. All this was in the build up to introducing a congestion charge of £5 per day to anyone using a vehicle in central London, after the charge was introduced he changed loads back to heighten the effect of the new tax.
And he thinks we don\'t understand what he\'s doing,....that makes him an idiot.

OMG that is stupid. I am a traffic engineer and a 1 1/2 minute red light must seem like an eternity if you are caught in it on top of the 15 second green light that may let 10 - 12 cars through. You are definitely right about him being an idiot.

Aznar should be there too... the Triforce.
-
You mean the threesome? ;0)
-
Tony Blair kinda deserves to be nominated.....but Bush....no not Bush. He just isn\'t that kind of person.
-
In announcing the award, the chairman, Gunnar Berge, said the clause that referred to President Bush “must be interpreted as a criticism of the position of the administration currently sitting in the US towards Iraq” and agreed when asked if it was meant as a “kick in the leg” to the Bush White House (the Norwegian equivalent of a slap in the face).
The Prize is a sham.

They should hit them over the head with the peace prize.

Bush/Blair nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
Ha Ha Ha Ha :laughing:
George Bush deserves to be impeached !!!!!!!!
He is a very evil man, who manipulated intelligence information to drive up the cost of oil to supply money to the wealthy oil companies who have porovided the Bush family with there emmence wealth
How the hell the son of a president 2 terms removed whos claim to political greatness is his own involvement with wealthy copmpanies is just disgusting.
I didn\'t support the war in Iraq, I DO NOT SUPPORT BUSH, and I do not believe in America in its present state.
Since the war I have found a solid portion of Americans to be very IGNORANT and very ARROGANT. I am EMBARASSED these days.
If this country sees Bush re-elected for 4 more years America will be up _hits creek for many years to follow.
Anyone old enough to vote. I beg you not to let this happen.
-
I will vote for Bush again. If the accusations your are true, I will vote elsewhere. I will not vote for the buffoons on the left, though.
I still believe Bush is an honorable man and until I see hard evidence that he did this to line his pockets I will believe this war was just. Hell, I think it was just to remove Saddam for other reasons than the ones stated.

I will definitely vote for Bush again. Dems are way to passive when it comes to foreign policy.
-
If the democrats had absolutely anyone, and I mean anyone to even remotely look at for more than 2 seconds I would take a look. But they don\'t. That party is in shambles right now and they won\'t be in power for a long long time.
ANd ddaryl, where were you when the war was going on? You would have had a field day in here.
And Green Meanie, would you give the guy who shot the kid who stole his rims a nobel peace prize?
-
The peace prize has become a sham of an award. Look at some of the people who have been recognized.
Yassir Arafat
Shimon Peres
Jimmy Carter
I think these prizes are more political than anybody wants to admit, and are a way for the nobel comitee to make statements about/against certain governments. I\'m not saying that deserving people don\'t get awarded (Mother Teresa, the Dali Lama, etc), but that often, there are far more worthy people out there NOT getting the award for politics.

It doesn\'t really matter. Just get a clean shot ok. I don\'t want to make it through this thing and walk with a limp.

I can\'t believe any one making less then $250k would vote republican
but I am appalled at anyone who would vote for Bush, let alone vote for Bush again. The thought of Bush in the White House for 4 more years literally makes me want to yak.
I\'m not fully Liberal but I\'m definitley on the left side of things, and I will vote for anyone I can whos name doesn\'t end in Bush or has an (R) next to it.
I\'d vote Green Party but all that does is weaken the Democratic vote since (R) know who butters their bread, and they obviously do not care enough about the future or the consequences that will come.
Good old boy stuff like "Trickle Down Economics". Nobody dumb enough to believe that one eh?
Yeah lets give more money back to the weathy. They\'ll invest it into companies who\'ll use that money to create new jobs and product sand the economy we\'ll be back on track.
the only thing the wealthy are doing with all those big tax breaks is going on vacations to foreign lands (not much money being left in the US now) putting it into safe investments to help weather the present storm, or spending it on toys for themselves. Doesn\'t create many jobs for guys like us.
But people will argue that the Democratic party is too soft and they\'ll give the money to the lower half, You know the people on welfare. This pisses alot of people off but Trickle Up is a heluva alot better system then Trickle Down.
Yep, give the moeny to the poor and working class those who are too poor or unwealthy enough to leave the country. Since this money is much more needed for survival at the lower levels the poor and the working class spend the money the Gov has rebated mostly on necessities and few treats. Hell even those people buying Drugs with free money are still circulating money to the dealers who are buying those nice jackets, and sneakers... All great for the economy.
Since people are buying more stuff and have more money all the local businesses in these poor and working class areas are now seeing increases in business and profits. These people are one step higher on the ladder and they spend their extra profits on stuff above and beyond necessities. Now the manufacturing plants are increasing productions and new jobs are being created based on increased DEMAND.
That\'s where the (R) economic philosophy is flawed. You can not create demand if people do not have a steady flow of income, and as long as all the people on the lower tiers have some supplemental income coming their way they\'ll spend it one way or another. This then becomes profits for others and the dominoe effect goes on.
We all have different views, but lets not fall prey to the " We have to be tough, be proud, and be right" bull$hit that is infesting American Minds.
Might is not Right, and if countries want to pledge hatred toward us then we should cease doing business with these countries, not wage wars to support our own selfish Needs.
Hell,I\'ll pay $25.00 a gal a gas before I would agree to waste a life for oil. Let alone feed monies to nations who can not handle or control power.

"Hell,I\'ll pay $25.00 a gal a gas before I would agree to waste a life for oil. Let alone feed monies to nations who can not handle or control power."
Why do we need to pay $25 for a gallon when we can produce our own just fin if we open up the gulf and alaska?
I have to ask you though, who in the world could you possibly vote for in 2004?
