Re: Nobel Peace Prize?
Clearly this institution is run by bleeding-heart liberals
As with most here, I too find this surprising and so far undeserved. It does make me question the Nobel committee's reasoning and motives. But H, you do realise that when you use such language, the world outside the US looks at you and simply thinks - twat. Just thought I'd point that out.

Re: Nobel Peace Prize?
Bit late, but only just noticed this...
Hyro's making a reasonable inference based on the Nobel commitee's actions in the last few years.
A reasonable inference? Possibly. I guess that would depend upon the strict definition of the technical term "bleeding-heart liberal" - perhaps you have one?
Just because you don't agree with him doesn't make him a twat.
I think I made it clear in my post that I didn't wholly not agree with him. I also think I made it clear that I was refering to the language he used, by clever use of the word "language".
I think I also made clear that I was not accusing him of being a twat - rather, I simply pointed out that his use of such language would certainly attract such a condemnation from many quarters. Obviously not yours, and I did think of putting in a specific exclusion for you at the time.
But hey, thanks for playing
