i think the nobel peace prize has just lost all credibility. oh and did you know that if you have money in banks in other countries, you now have to pay taxes for that money? that's a real example of bringing people together and supporting cooperation with other countries

What's a NPP Worth? Well we know they are less than a grand and , for sure, that's pocket change for Obama

I just think it sucks for all the other people who won the NPP previously, when it was actually worth a ****. Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev (for helping to end the cold war), the 14th Dalai Lama, etc. and so-forth. IMO this completes the loss of credibility of this award. We should see which member of AF can win it first, cause its apparently not that hard to do anymore ROFL.

Exactly. IMO When it was given to, say, Yaser Arafat in 1994 (well, he was 1/3 winner, along side others)

****, Ghandi NEVER received it and he was nominated 5 times. poor guy haha

Peace prize? For what? I think John McCain paid the commission to give it to him just to rile us all up and to put pressure on Obama LOL.
