That's a heavy philosophy! :eek:

I wonder if it will be funny if Obama ever pisses people off internationally and a shoe gets thrown at him.

As long as it's a European shoe, it will be okay. They are the arbiters of taste and discretion, you know. Never question anything coming out of Europe...

I don't know . . . the Germans gave us Doc Martens. And if it's a pair of Dutch klompen, that could really hurt.

The four members who are quoted in the article are named, Thorbjoern Jagland, Aagot Valle, Inger-Marie Ytterhorn, and Kaci Kullman Five.

I think I can pronounce the last one, but I'll bake a batch of cookies for anyone who can phonetically spell the others.:p

Only 3 of the 5 will say that Obama deserved it? Do I smell some dissention within the comittee?

I like that they claim that giving Obama the award is within the guidelines of what Nobel really wanted.

Ummm...who has done more? Probably everyone that was nominated. Obama has been in office less than a year, so HOW (seriously, how?) could he bring about peace w/ the West & Middle East while he was still a senator running for president? Does that even make sense? noooooooo, but apparently to the Norwegians it does.

I know LucyKKG and I both can, likely icelandelf too. I don't need any cookies though.

So do they sound like - Thorb-journ? then Aggot? Then last name Itterhorn?

I have absolutely no idea how Norwegians pronounce their vowels and consonants in names.:confused:

I miss icelandelf. :(

for those who want to talk about threads going downhill. . .
They go downhill because of stupid comments like this. Why do I say that this is stupid?
Because you just took what I said and twisted it. As usual. :rolleyes:

What are you talking about?

And when did anyone say that racism was the reason for people being against Obama receiving the award?

We're just having fun with this dumbass thread now. Step aside.

lmao :cool:

Let me know what I twisted, and we'll discuss. Mostly, it was meant as parody, but when I go back to read I do see increasing grains of your logic in there . . . I'd love to hear where my parody was silly, though. That would be divine.

Otherwise, keep asserting opinion as fact, and we'll go ahead and continue to have hilariously ineffectual threads everywhere.

If an American President's security is compromised overseas, then clearly that would be an instance where the US would become involved. Awarding someone a Nobel Peace Prize is not even on the same level.
