I would like to see a day where the Nobel Peace Prize goes to a person who peacefully protests and thus resolves a conflict.
Of course, speaking against anything is more likely to earn a night in a prison cell than an award.
I giggled a little bit. Because peaceful protest doesn't even have an effect on a spat between two people.
If the award were given by legitimate body and not a parliament, it would have recognized long ago that the greatest force for peace in the last seventy years has been nuclear weapons.
The 20th Century before nuclear weapons: 100 million dead in two world wars.
The 20th Century before nuclear weapons: Zero dead in world wars, despite everyone itching for a third.
But THAT'S not going to happen.
And you're right. The Nobel Peace Prize has lost all credibility. All it is is a bunch of liberals, recognizing other liberals for their...well whatever it is they are doing.
I also just took a look at the past winners and LOL Jimmy Carter HAHAHAHA.
Edit: Lets forget about Reagan having a huge impact on ending the Cold War...shall we?

I think the most pressing issue here is who would receive the prize if the internet won the award?
Al Gore?
Or Tim Berners-Lee?
