Re: E.U. Wins Nobel Peace Prize.....
Lighten up! I'm pretty sure the New York Giants were the best American Football team in the world last year. Unless the Pakistanis are fielding a team I don't know about...
It's a joke because they use the prize to make political statements. Obama (an American) did NOT deserve the prize. So much for your theory that it's all about Americans winning.
Honestly, I thought it was funny. They can have the prize, it means nothing.
I was born and spent half my life in Sweden. I was a kid when we voted to join the EU, and I remember the discussions very well and all the promises that were made.
You and I both know that the EU is NOT popular in Europe. It has not been what people hoped for. That is why they never bring it up for a referendum - they know they would lose. So yes, it is a joke to give a flimsy prize to the EU when over half of Europeans would vote it down if they could.
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.
