They are the "world champions"... not much "world" when it comes to the sport of American football.
The peace prize is only a joke to warmongers... which does explain why the US right hates the Nobel Peace prize.
Ahh so that is what made "it a joke" in your eyes. Guess when an American does not win stuff, then it is always " a joke". Talk about arrogance.
Are Norwegians Europeans?

What are they going to do with the prize money?:thinking:thinking
they do say World champions when you win the Super bowl or the world series. I think that is what Pete EU was trying to say
I've never heard Super Bowl winners referred to as "world champions." Where have you heard that? Besides, what's even the point?
Norway is not part of the EU.
Also, Obama got the Nobel Peace prize a few years ago and has done nothing to deserve it. Cut it out.

I hate when the quoting gets messed up. What I quoted was from Higgins, not from myself.

every year. Its even on the SB rings.
As for the point im not sure you would have to ask Pete EU. I imagine it has something to do with countries giving themselves titles etc.
Norway is in Europe.
Notice how I said "the Europeans decided to give themselves a prize" and not "The EU decided to give themselves a prize."
Words.
BTW, I agree Obama didn't deserve the Nobel Prize. I'm not sure what that has to do with the humor I'm finding in the present situation?

Okay, LOL, fair enough. But that is not my point. The point I want to make is that the aware USED to go to people who actually did something to deserve the PEACE prize. Now, it seems more like the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks. The award has become a joke, and that has NOTHING to do with partisanship.

maybe the world has simply run out of worthy people, lol now there is a thought!

Mmmm, I don't think so. I'm sure there are PLENTY of people, groups, etc. more deserving of the award. Maybe you're just cynical. :shrug:

Reuters) - The European Union won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for promoting peace, democracy and human rights over six decades in an award seen as a morale boost as the bloc struggles to resolve its economic crisis.
The EU has transformed most of Europe "from a continent of wars to a continent of peace," Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjoern Jagland said in announcing the award in Oslo.
The prize, worth $1.2 million (747 thousand pounds), will be presented in Oslo on December 10. The decision by the five-member panel, led by Jagland who is also Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, was unanimous.
The EU won from a field of 231 candidates including Russian dissidents and religious leaders working for Muslim-Christian reconciliation.....snip~

I can't believe these dip-sticks gave themselves the award. What a bunch of Morons!

OK, let's put the Giants up against the best American football team from anywhere else. Let's even throw in the best CFL team (even though the rules are slightly different.)
The EU has no control over the Nobel prize juries. The peace prize is decided by the Norwegian Nobel committee. You are probably unaware that Norway is not a part of the EU.
The fact of 55 years of peace between the nations of the EU is an achievement unimaginable just 70 years ago. I think that's an accomplishment worth recognising.
So you attribute the 55 years of peace to the EU?
Yes. I attribute 55 years of peace between European nations as being the biggest and most important achievement of the EU.
