[QUOTE=MuTAnT;44140679]Personally I'd like to see Malala Yousafzai get it. She's probably one of the few nominees that I think really deserves it.[/QUOTE]
Did she declare any wars or invent a weapon of mass destruction?
If Putin gets the Nobel [b][i]PEACE[/b][/i] Prize, then I'll eat my hat.
TOXX.
They should give the nobel prize to the guy who created flappy birds instead of this stalinist Putin guy.

Normally this would require a title to along with your statement, but I'm pretty sure you're safe for this one :v:
[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;44143305]wow how insulting. one of the nominees has been shot in the face for her work against the taliban. stop talking out of your ass[/QUOTE]
That's.. really not the same, getting shot at from someone on purpose and running into line of fire to prevent someone else from getting shot in the face is true heroism
Sure the girl is doing a good job for women's rights down in the middle east but still, she wouldn't give up her life for strangers, i can bet you my ass
[QUOTE=Sprockethead;44140650]Ive got a suspicion the whole nobel prize spiel is a load of bullshit[/QUOTE]
The peace nobel prize has always meant basically nothing.
Kim Jong-Un is the only real choice, clearly.

what? her life is constantly at threat from assassination from people who hate everything she stands for. how is that not her giving up her life for strangers? she is fully aware of the risks and is still going ahead with her work. that is her giving up her life for strangers
she's not a random person who was shot in the face in a random attack. she knew full well that risk was high, even likely, and yet continued to work
if we're going to get into a ridiculous argument about what constitutes "true heroism" (wow what a dumb thing to even say), i'd definitely argue that working with prolonged threats against your life to improve the lives of millions of people [i]you'll never even meet[/i] is definitely more heroic than jumping on a bomb in the heat of the moment

- spend your entire young life working for the benefit of millions of people you'll never even meet and then get shot in the face for it? not heroic
- jump on a bomb in the heat of the moment, pumped full of adrenaline and fear, to save a handful of people you already know? TRUE HEROISM™

He probably found one of those nacho hats and wants to show it off.

I don't think you understand what the Nobel Peace Prize is for.
awarded annually to those who have "[B]done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."[/B]
While jumping on a bomb may be heroic it doesn't really have shit to do with fraternity between nations.
It isn't hard to get nominated for a nobel prize, people act like this is a big deal every time someone is nominated.
