    Hey, they gave it to Obama for his willingness to call every kid he bombs with drones a militant, right?

    The EU should have stopped growing after 1953.

    What a load of shite. The Nobel Org has just confirmed to us all that it really is a load of old bollocks.

    Many Nobels (those in science for example) are very well earned and still hold weight as a worthy achievement.

    The value of the Nobel Peace prize however, has been reduced to completely meaningless for years.

    It is to laugh.

    Give the prize money to Greece - they need it.

    From the National Post:

    Hey, Nobel Peace Prize committee: Canada isn’t at war, either

    Kelly McParland: Canada has never started a war with anyone, anywhere, so where's our prize? Costa Rica doesn't even have an army. How about a peace prize for that?

    Nope. They need to pay taxes themselves.
    The Netherlands has a 21% sales tax (it was just raised. AGAIN). Guess where all those taxes go to? The EU. Or, in short, Greece.
    The Netherlands PAYS 312 euro's per capita per year, Greece RECEIVES 391 Euro's per capita per year. That's without the loans.

    They had to give the EU some kind of prize. At least it wasn't the one for economics. 8)

    Can they make the peace prize any more of a joke? Why not just award it to everyone on the planet next year to cover all of your bases?
