Are there any people you think should have won the Nobel Peace Prize, but did not?

I can name a few that I think should have won the Prize: Étienne Tshisekedi, Roméo Dallaire, Harry Wu, and Armando Valladares.

Me. I mean, I haven't started any wars.
Well, other than that one time in the Balkans. And that time a few years back that I took my winter vacation in Darfur. But, other than those two times, I've been pretty peaceful.

Jesus should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize
The nuclear missile kept the West and the Communist East from starting a nuclear war with eachother. It's non-missile cousin ended WWII.
Death prevented countless people from starting allout wars with eachother.

Actually, thousands of russian tanks ended ww2.

Nuclear bombs ended that asian spat ;)

Ohh, and truman didn't get one, right? He deserves one, for sure.

Actually, thousands of russian tanks ended ww2.


Nah, massed soviet artillery and the willingness to sustain literally uncountable casualties. Not that I'm knocking the T-34, but you know...

Cannabis deserves a peace prize.

"I never met an angry pot smoker." -Robin Williams.

Whoever invented altoids.

Peter Benenson

Gandhi, Buddah, Jesus, Ronald Reagan (he did end the Cold War without actually using War, just outspending the USSR), Pope John Paul II.

Whoever invented altoids.

*Grinds an Altoid into dust and snorts it* Mmmm...my mind is now curiously strong.

Somehow, I doubt that. :p

Somehow, I doubt that. :p

I vote for Lunatic Goofballs, the world really need someone with his sense of humor and personality! Why if everyone listened to him we would be too busy laughing to fight with one another!

Somehow, I doubt that. :p

Haha, but it's such a cinnamony sensation.

Anyway, my vote goes for Super Mario Bros. If you notice, he has never killed a single soul...he just bounces them off the planet.

Lets just agree that it was a combined effort, ehh?

Can we expand the topic and ask who should have won a Nobel Prize of any type? If so, I would say Ludwig von Mises.

If not, Gandhi, even if he was a racist anti-Semite.

Haha, but it's such a cinnamony sensation.

If he bounces them off the planet, then wouldn't the lack of oxygen kill them?

Whoever invented altoids.

Maybe the original design. They are pretty weak now.

If he bounces them off the planet, then wouldn't the lack of oxygen kill them?

Shh, they don't have to know that.

Shh, they don't have to know that.

So, he does kill them, by sending them into an atmosphere not rich in oxygen! He should be court martialed for genocide against the mushroom people, and turtles!

Haha, but it's such a cinnamony sensation.
Not quite, its more akin to being tear-gassed while someone injects pure, liquid pain behind your eye balls.
One does get ever so bored at college sometimes.

Yeah, tear gas does suck. I just like the flickering hot flame on the back of my tounge. Like someone rammed a broken electric line down my throat and turned the power on.

BUt look at the greatness Mario has brought us! No more flying Turtles! Personally, I was kind of tired of replacing windshields.

But he still committed genocide and must be brought before the UN's World Court!

Look at Wilgrove, a regular peace loving fellow...I say...he should recieve the prize. But enough hijacking...carry on debaters...carry on.

Hitler. He did more to unite Europe than the Olympics and the League of Nations combined.

But he still committed genocide and must be brought before the UN's World Court!

Nah The shrub will take care of him just like Sadaam.

Wait? Do they have oil?

Hitler. He did more to unite Europe than the Olympics and the League of Nations combined.

and all it took was the death of 6-12 million Jews, and countless others.

Gandhi, even if he was a racist anti-Semite.

:confused:

Granted, he did not approve the creation of Israel (much like how he did not approve the creation of Pakistan - he had to be consistent against division by religion).

How does that make him anti-semite?

Hitler.

Oh let me guess, your "german blood" speaking again? Or is it one of your many claimed psychological disorders? Or maybe just trolling. It's so hard to tell.

It's called wit. Look it up. It's something you'll never have.

And "many claimed psychological disorders"? I only ever claimed to have one, and that's because I do have it. It's called Asperger Syndrome. Look that up too.

Boy, you must be American. Ignorance, no wit...

"The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs."

Do you know who said this? Hint: His name starts with an M and ends with an ahatma Gandhi.

That was never his name. His name starts with an M and end with a ohandas Gandhi.

LOL HITLER LOL. How silly of me not to recognize the brilliance.

That's odd, you made a big emo whiny post about how something ELSE was wrong with you not so long ago. Oh well, maybe it was Alzheimer's.

Boy, you must be American. Ignorance, no wit...

Is this more of what you call wit?

Seems like you were just waiting for someone to inevitably call into question your witty flamebait, so you could join in for a good namecalling match. Sounds like trolling to me.

That was never his name. His name starts with an M and end with a ohandas Gandhi.

Oh, thank you, thank you so very much! Without your timely intervention, I would have been left adrift in the sea of not caring about specific details and insomnia that caused this tragedy of slightly mistaking Gandhi's name.

I am eternally grateful to you, my anchor.

LOL HITLER LOL. How silly of me not to recognize the brilliance.

"Silly" isn't the word I'd use.

What, bipolar or depression? Those are temporary.

It's only trolling if you're unfamiliar with irony.

"The Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher's knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs."


Context ?

Context ?

I'd like to know that too.

Mr. Jack Schidt, inventor of the Buttplug.

One day, I hope, I'll get to know Jack Schidt.

I'm not going to mention people who lived and died before the Peace Prize existed.

IMO, Pope John Paul II, and Peter Benenson (founder of Amnesty International).

Ronald Reagan (he did end the Cold War without actually using War, just outspending the USSR).
Never. Reagan was a terrorist sponsor.

How about Gorbachev? He withdrew from Afghanistan and didn't sponsor terrorists.

:confused:

If he didn't support the RAF at all, I'd be very surprised.

I wish people wouldn't use TLAs, it just confuses me :(

To my knowledge he didn't.

Me, I've only detonated one nuclear weapon, and that was only in the Indian Ocean, and they never figured out who did it...

Me. What? Everyone has committed genocides that killed millions and devestated the world. I only targetted Canadian rabbits. They had it good too long. They make me sick just looking at them. Their big, bulging eyes. Their square bodies. Their two buck teeth(they were originally from Missouri, where frowning is a state sport) and their stupid ties.

Lol. :) It was all in the name of liberating the nation of foxies and wolfies from the long-eared menace. I'm a war hero and all it took was 78 million deaths and trillions in damages.

Now how many have each of you killed? Not nearly as few as me. :p :D

Context ?

I'm not sure why you'd really need the context of saying something as gruesome as that, but that's what he told his biographer in 1946 concerning WWII.

Mahatma Gandhi, not just for what he did in india but for inspiring so many by showing peace could work. MLK Jr. held Gandhi as one of his insperations

Me, I've only detonated one nuclear weapon, and that was only in the Indian Ocean, and they never figured out who did it...

That was you? :eek:

Jesus should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize.

Why? No one has ever sparked more conflict than he did.

I suggest JP2 and Helmut Kohl. JP2 because he had a major part in the defeat of Communism in Poland, which had a domino effect on the entire Eastern Bloc. Helmut Kohl because he practically bought peace by paying billions of D-Marks to Gorbachev and Yeltsin (he also bought Gorbachev's "yes" on German re-unification und thus on the end of the Iron Curtain in all of Europe).
.

Lunatic Goofballs for his monumental efforts in increasing women's (and men's?) fertility.

What we need to do first is rescind the Nobel Peace Prize that was awarded to Henry Kissinger, a war criminal. We will then award the Nobel Peace Prize to be divided equally among everyone who attended Woodstock.;)

NIKOLA TESLA

Remote control, tesla coils, bladed turbine, radio, vertical takeoff aeroplanes, unique form of solar power, most of Thomas Edison's motor designs, and thousands of other inventions.
All Nikola Tesla.

Yet he goes so unrecognized.

Elizabeth Gurley-Flynn, and any other of the early IWW members who invented and implemented the IWW's stance on free speech.

Ariel Sharon, for attempting to find peace with an implacable enemy.

Nah The shrub will take care of him just like Sadaam.

Wait? Do they have oil?

No but plenty of mushrooms to "enlarge". That has to explain why he invades, to compensate.

NIKOLA TESLA

All Nikola Tesla.

The Nobel Physics prize. Man ahead of his time.

So many inventions not to mention the Alternating Current, (Pissing off Edison in the process)
Of course the fact that: he wasn't an American, caused a large disaster on Long Island from one of his inventions, and he thought that the planets were talking to each other. Kept him out of the light.

I'm not sure why you'd really need the context of saying something as gruesome as that, but that's what he told his biographer in 1946 concerning WWII.

Because it is so easy to take his (or anybody's) words out of context.

For ex, in his early days in South Africa, he has said many things about blacks which, if taken seperately, could easily show him as a racist.

People change. People say things in response to questions, which could only be understood properly if we follow the whole discussion and not just take a phrase out of it.

Ariel Sharon, for attempting to find peace with an implacable enemy.

You gotta be shitting me. He didn't want peace, he wanted illegal settlements in all the west bank. Not to mention the war crimes he committed as a general. Flithy fat pig, is he dead yet?

Sharon obviously wanted peace. His preferred methods were genocide & forced relocation. If it'd worked, he would've had peace, if not with then from the Palestinians.
