Mercenary Group	Posted - 2009.10.09 10:22:00 - [2] Edited by: Grimpak on 09/10/2009 10:23:19 Originally by: Haraldhardrade Congratulations to president Obama. wait huh? well ** that must be true. I guess that people gathering for beer can indeed bring peace --- Quote:** The more I know about humans, the more I love animals. ain't that right.
Mr Reeth	Posted - 2009.10.09 10:34:00 - [3] The idiocy... it burns me.
vulnevia EVE Marshals Prismatic Refraction	Posted - 2009.10.09 11:06:00 - [4] It's a big joke imho, that a guy who's got 2 wars in his hand, and wont close Guantanamo can get the Peace prize. Almost as hilarous as the 1994 prize to Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin. It's PEACE price, not WAR price... -----
Jin Nib Resplendent Knives	Posted - 2009.10.09 11:07:00 - [5] I totally thought this was a joke lol. I had to look at like five news sites to convince myself it wasn't. Good job mister Obama, at, um, whatever it was that you did. PS: It's still a joke, just not in the right way. -Jin Nib Trading on behalf of Opera Noir since: 2009.03.02 03:53:00
Kravick Drasani	Posted - 2009.10.09 11:40:00 - [6] This award has lost all of its credibility. - Originally by: Rilwar If you want to nag on warp speed, how about the question of "Why does my Crow manage to go 9.5AU/s for 2 seconds during a 9AU jump?"
Nefrin Maldoes Minmatar People with Guns Initiative Associates	Posted - 2009.10.09 11:56:00 - [7] Quote: The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it honored Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." So, he really didn't do anything at all, just made an effort to do something. Talk about "A for effort" time! Think this was a horrible decision by the Nobel Committee that basically places them in the "We Love Obama and he can do no wrong" bandwagon. And, yes, I am a US citizen. --------------- He who stumbles around in the dark with a stick is blind. But he who sticks out in darkness is . . . fluorescent!
red righthand	Posted - 2009.10.09 12:04:00 - [8] Originally by: Kravick Drasani This award has lost all of its credibility. you're not kidding... "January 30, 2004 08:03 President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair are among nominees for the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize before a Sunday deadline for nominations despite failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq." oh and....

TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance	Posted - 2009.10.09 12:05:00 - [9] Originally by: Kravick Drasani This award has lost all of its credibility. Aye. Its disgusting.
Galen Naranek Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2009.10.09 12:17:00 - [10] I think it is appropriate. Jimmy Carter won the peace prize in 2002; he was the worst president in the history of the USA and was booted after only one term. Now Obama aspires to that mantle, and we can only hope his tenure is the same. ___________________________________ That which kills me makes me deader
Hrodgar Ortal Minmatar Ma'adim Logistics	Posted - 2009.10.09 12:23:00 - [11] If had at least managed to do anything it could have been acceptable. But to be honest, all has has done is release a lot of hot air. Wish the Swedish Nobel committee could revoke the Norwegians right to give out the price. This together with several other choices are just pathetic and in this case seems more motivated by being starstruck like teenage girls.

In any case, it seems many here havent even read the reason for him getting the award, and I suspect many people dont even know what the peace price is. Obama is a well deserving winner.

Faekurias Raptus Regalitor Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.09 12:37:00 - [13] Edited by: Faekurias on 09/10/2009 12:44:02 Actually no, gtfo. Not even going to rage about this. Also; Originally by: Haraldhardrade Edited by: Haraldhardrade on 09/10/2009 12:41:15 Edited by: Haraldhardrade on 09/10/2009 12:40:00 The Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons. Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened. Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population. For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges." Oslo, October 9, 2009 edit Quote: Edit: to be honest, my King has been clueless and useless for quite a while too. Your king has not a say in the issue. He has nothing to do with the nobel awards. Perhaps you are angry because you know nothing about the will og Alfred Nobel. No, I meant the part where I raged about American Presidents being useless. Also, yase, Obama is a true Miss Universe. HE sure has talked a lot but hasn't done anything of note. Can't believe they were so easy to fool but then again, Norwegians v0v. -------------------------

Emil Erlenmeyer	Posted - 2009.10.09 13:07:00 - [18] Originally by: Kravick Drasani This award has lost all of its credibility. The Norwegian Nobel Committee lost it's credibility a long time ago.

Orion Eridanus Dakota HeadHunters	Posted - 2009.10.09 13:59:00 - [21] Initial nominations were due on February 3rd, Obama had been in office for approximately 14 days. I don't seem to recall him doing anything in that time period that brought about peace ANYWHERE. He was probably still deciding how to redecorate the white house at that point. Talk about a bunch of fanboys. If he was a real man he would turn down the award saying he hasn't done anything yet. Originally by: Paulo Damarr That is a most Excellent Drake fitting, you are lucky to have survived.
ReaperOfSly Gallente Heavens Gate Consortium Distant Drums	Posted - 2009.10.09 14:03:00 - [22] Okay, he's not really to blame for the ****-ups his predecessor made, but in 9 months, he hasn't actually made any progress towards undoing any of it. At least give the man a chance to do something deserving of the medal before awarding it to him, otherwise it just bigs him up for no reason and amplifies his future mistakes. ____________________

Mr Reeth	Posted - 2009.10.09 14:16:00 - [24] I would just like to thank the eve community for seeing how insanely stupid it is to award Obama the Peace Prize. I was beginning to feel like the last sane man.
Haraldhardrade Amarr Pax Amarr	Posted - 2009.10.09 14:26:00 - [25] Originally by: Mr Reeth I would just like to thank the eve community for seeing how insanely stupid it is to award Obama the Peace Prize. I was beginning to feel like the last sane man. It seems both you and the 'eve community' is completely ignorant of what the nobel peace prize is. Quote: Common misconceptions about the Nobel Peace Prize An award that generates as much interest as the Nobel Peace Prize is bound to be surrounded by myths. Geir Lundestad, secretary of the secretive committee that awards the prize, outlines for The Associated Press some of the most common misunderstandings: _ Myth: The awards committee announces a shortlist of candidates. The committee does not release the names of any candidates and keeps records sealed for 50 years. _ Myth: A campaign for a particular candidate can sway the awards committee. A campaign could have the exact opposite effect on the fiercely independent committee, which does not want to appear influenced by public pressure. _ Myth: Candidates can be nominated until the last minute. The nomination deadline is eight months before the announcement, with a strictly enforced deadline of Feb. 1. _ Myth: Anyone can nominate a person or group for the Peace Prize. No, although Nobel statutes on who can nominate were slightly broadened in 2003. They now include former laureates; current and former members of the committee and their staff; members of national governments and legislatures; university professors of law, theology, social sciences, history and philosophy; leaders of peace research and foreign affairs institutes; and members of international courts of law. _ Myth: The prize can be revoked if a laureate does not live up to the standards of the peace prize. There are no provisions for revoking the prize. _ Myth: The prize can be awarded posthumously. The prize was award posthumously only once ù in 1961, to former U.N. Secretary-General Dag Hammerskjold, after he was killed in a plane crash in Africa. The rules were amended in 1974 to prohibit posthumous prizes. _ Myth: The prize is awarded to recognize efforts for peace, human rights and democracy only after they have proven successful. More often, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to see the effort through, sometimes at critical moments. Can all the stupid and uneducated please be quiet from now on?

Nefrin Maldoes Minmatar People with Guns Initiative Associates	Posted - 2009.10.09 14:30:00 - [26] Edited by: Nefrin Maldoes on 09/10/2009 14:32:03 Quote: _ Myth: Candidates can be nominated until the last minute. The nomination deadline is eight months before the announcement, with a strictly enforced deadline of Feb. 1. Ok, with your own quote, I will sink this argument. Please tell me what the hell Obama did PRIOR to Feb 1 of this year that would warrant him the Nobel? At that point in the states, his only accomplishment had been being the first Black President, and that has NOTHING to do with any kind of Peace efforts, successful or not. I stick by my former statement that this is nothing more then the Nobel committee jumping on the Obama fanboy bandwagon. --------------- He who stumbles around in the dark with a stick is blind. But he who sticks out in darkness is . . . fluorescent!
Faekurias Raptus Regalitor Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.09 14:31:00 - [27] "According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have 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."[1] " So again, what work has Obama done? Anyone can talk the talk. Seems you might want to retract your footbullet of a statement. -------------------------
Elora Danzik Caldari Idiots In Spaceships Psychotic Tendencies.	Posted - 2009.10.09 14:36:00 - [28] they talked about this on the NPR this morning. One suggestion made was that it was more of an international slap to Dumbyah, then anything else. It also was jumping on the Kennedy.....Obama bandwangon.

Irida Mershkov Gallente War is Bliss	Posted - 2009.10.09 14:57:00 - [30] Originally by: Lord Windu Pic Linky I remember this award was going to be nominated to George W Bush and Tony Blair a while ago, although it was met with strong protest I believe.
