The Nobel Peace Prize Is Neither Noble Nor Supportive Of Peace!

Navi Pillay just won the Nobel Peace Prize, and for those of you who are thinking..."Who," (I'm one of them) you would be entirely correct. She is an apparatchik in the international justice racket, first serving as a judge in South Africa..a well-known bastion of the rule of law! She then moved on to the UN, the International Criminal Court, and the International Criminal Tribunal For Rwanda.

These are just some of the organizations across the world that are linked by a common motivation...vast virtue signalling while doing almost nothing to combat the evils of the world. And they are committed post-modern adherents to the concept that the 3rd World can do no wrong, while the West is the root of all evil! Remember, the parent organization of the "Peace" Industry is the United Nations!

the UN's 54-nation Economic and Social Council nominated the Islamic Republic of Iran to the UN's Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets next month to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention.

Iran most recently murdered between 50,000 and 100,000 protestors, uses rape as a theological weapon, and is the world's foremost sponsor of terrorism. Which makes them adored by the United Nations!

Back to Navi Pillay. She is a typical anti-Western 3rd Worlder who is conspicuously silent when it comes to the real evil in the world. Remember the massacre at Charlie Hebdo? Yeah, she blamed them for their own murders, but conveniently described them as "protests." And when Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoons and a car bomb struck the Danish Embassy in Pakistan, she recommended censoring them rather than defending freedom of speech.

Her record is depressingly consistent, and it is focused not on freedom, but on her 3rd World sensibility of Western responsibility for the ills of the world.

And the Nobel Committee gobbles up that sort of crap! Have there been deserving winners? Sure, but just glance at the list of winners and it is obvious that it is usually hyper-political, self-serving, anti-Western, and also impossibly silly.

Maybe Next Year They'll Give the Chemistry Prize to a Hamas Bomb Maker

-- Garry Kasparov

To be fair to the other Nobel Prize winners, the peace prize is decided by an entirely different organization called the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which is a five-member committee chosen by the Norwegian parliament, and whose decisions are final and do not go before the larger assembly.

But that comment illuminates the problem inherent in the commercialization and politicization of the peace process. The world spends billions of dollars each year on hundreds of international committees and organizations (including the UN) that do very little other than enrich many thousands of otherwise useless people who have spent their lives within that bubble. Elite University to small NGO to larger NGO to government service to mega-NGO...complete with private jets and great restaurants and luxury hotels in every city. And on the way they lecture the West about how evil we are and how we should spend more money helping the developing world, while siphoning off most of that money for their own.

All of those organizations, and the prizes they give to their friends and colleagues and fellow NGOs are a boondoggle that pisses away money that could be spent on more productive things, or even better, not spent at all, so the taxpayers of the West who fund these things can keep a little bit more of their money.

Necklacing, in case you've forgotten, is the practice of tying someone's hands ten cramming a tire soaked in gasoline over their heads and torso's then setting it on fire to suffocate and burn them to death.

The Bien Pensants are always quick to call Trump unseemly for wanting the Nobel Prize, while the point of the prize is for people to actually compete for it, and in the competition peace would begin to break out.

That said, it's a fools errand to expect this crowd to recognize Trump. History will get the last laugh. Besides, he'd be in good company. Gandhi never got a Prize, either.

From A Conversation with an AI...

Yes, that statement is correct. According to data from the Small Arms Survey, there are an estimated 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the United States.

By comparison, the world's conventional military forces combined hold an estimated 133 million firearms. Because 393 million is significantly higher than 133 million, U.S. civilians do own more firearms than all of the world's militaries put together.

"Some Germans professed to sneer at the idea of an American Army having any impact on the field of battle. After all, in 1917, the entire army hardly came to 150,000 men, less even than Belgium’s. But to a generation of young German officers who had grown up reading tales of the Wild West, and who had studied the Civil War (which German staff officers all had done), the idea of having to fight a country where the average farmhouse probably had as many guns as the average German infantry platoon was far from reassuring." - John Mosier, The Myth of the Great War

First they didn’t call an obvious pass interference against Georgia that would’ve put the Tide in easy FG range for a tying FG (and possibly more, they could’ve scored the winning TD). Then with Georgia trying to run out the clock they called a tricky-tack away from the play personal foul on Bama resulting in a first down and the game’s over. It was a penalty by the letter of the law but not the spirit of the rules. A yellow flag shouldn’t determine a good game like that. Georgia still would’ve had 3rd and 2… make them earn the first down

174 I don't think having mental health problems will harm Talarico's chances. I think people will vote against him for other reasons . Tom Kean Jr. who is the son of our former Governor and had been missing from the House of Representatives for months, because of mental health problems but he explained nothing till he reappeared , is still running for his seat, and because of his being missing will probably lose his seat to the Democrat.

I was actually called ableist for thinking Fetterman should step down after his stroke. And Clancy's lawyer tried to get the holdout juror labeled as ableist, said he wouldn't vote not guilty because she was in a wheelchair. But hopefully Texans don't care that they might be called ableists if they vote for Paxton over Talarico.

Possibly. But if so it's the third most recent case of private info getting leaked that probably shouldn't be. But that's the culture we live in now.

1. Juror's name and pictures and private info getting released in the Clancy trial
2. Jane Doe's name and pictures leaked in the Cornell case
3. Talarico's mental health stay info leaked

To be fair, Talarico is running to be a public figure, whereas the other twi are private citizens dealing with court cases. If he used taxpayer money or donor money for that mental health stay, it could be argued his constituents have a right to know.

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at October 11, 2026 01:25 PM (M+uMR)

I'm so old I remember when the uprights in the pros were at the goal line. And the uprights were 'H' shaped.

"The NFL moved the goal posts to the back of the end zone in 1974.

In the NFL’s earliest days, before the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles existed, the league followed the NCAA rule book. Goal posts were on the goal line. When the NCAA moved them to the end zone’s backline in 1927, the NFL followed suit.

In 1933, however, the NFL adopted its own rule book and placed the goal posts back on the goal line. NFL goal posts stayed there until 1974 when they were moved to the back of the end zone."

I can think of three ways filed goals can be made more difficult. Move the uprights a distance behind the end lines. Move the crossbar higher. Narrow the distance between the uprights. Or combine any two of those or all three. I don't foresee any changes in the next 10 years.

242 >>You picked one freak. The past had Jim Brown and Dick Butkus who could wreak havoc today but the vast majority of players and teams in the 30s-60's would get crushed by the college top-20 today. Maybe the solution is to require the K and P be the same guy (though I'd prefer a great kicker to the expense of a shitty punter).

I played high school ball against Fred Smerlas.

Some people are just built different.

244 Once Hasan has been shot, what becomes of his body? Do they release it to mosque or family for a muzzie funeral? If it were up to me, I would have his corpse cremated, and the ashes pulverized, and pumped down some random disposal well.

247 Personally I think elections are all about party now. It’s D or R, the name is irrelevant.

Maybe 10,20 years ago that wasn’t so much the case. You had Mitt Romney elected as governor of Mass for example. So the person did make a difference.

However in the ultra partisan 24/7 social media politics = war landscape, I don’t think that’s the case any longer. Talarico is a communist tranny loving retard. He’s a D and that’s all anyone cares about. The election is do you hate Trump the you vote D. Who the D is? Irrelevant.

258 I can think of three ways filed goals can be made more difficult. Move the uprights a distance behind the end lines. Move the crossbar higher. Narrow the distance between the uprights. Or combine any two of those or all three. I don't foresee any changes in the next 10 years.

279 I have though that perhaps we should make the long range kickoffs a part of the game. If you can kick off through the uprights, you get one point and have to rekick from from five yards further back.
