What happened to the concept of the Noble Peace Prize?

Question

I thought you had to create peace in order to receive that. Why isn't Joseph Kabilia leader of War Torn Congo getting it because he actually ended a brutal civil war. The president of Ivory Coast for doing the same. Not some guy who basically made a movie.

Dead Marxist Nelson mandella was much more worthy of the prize and also Yitzak Rabin also recieved the award with Yasir Arafat that year.

Answer 1

Any prestige that Prize USED to carry went out the window when they gave it to such luminaries as Nelson Mandela (communist), Yasser Arafat (terrorist), and Jimmy Carter (bumbling goofball)

EDIT: The only thing Nelson Mandela is "worthy" of is to be thrown back into a jail cell, where he belongs! He is a dirty, lousy communist:

Answer 2

First, it's spelled "Nobel."

Second, the Peace Prize is not reserved exclusively for those who negotiate treaties or otherwise bring about peace directly. It is routinely awardedto people who make great humanitarian contributions.

Gore has done much more than "make a movie"--he has spent the last 7 years working to educate people about environmental dangers. Further, he hs had the courage to do so in the face of slander, lies, and efforts at character assaniation.

The people who continue to deride him aren't discriditing Gore--or the scientific facts. They are only showing their own lack of honesty and decency.

Answer 3

When a man who dicated his life to killing people is given the prize I knew it was heading down hill.

Than when Al Gore won it over a woman who save children in WWII from the Holocaust.

I know it doesn't mean anything anymore.

Answer 4

Quite simply it has turned into the "liberal of the year" award, I mean really when al gore took a private jet busting out all of those carbon emissions to receive an award that was not for "peace" at all ............its a bit of a dead giveaway

Answer 5

The answerer above me with his lavish praise for the biggest hypocrite in the so called global warming mafia, tries ,like many others to make Al Gore a world hero..He is not and he is a co2 abuser in the use of private jets when he travels to make speeches that ex tolls us to ride bikes while he travels in luxury

Answer 6

I agree. I don't understand how running around like Chicken Little screaming "The sky is falling!" brings about world peace. Well, at least he can use the $1 million dollar prize to pay off some of his mansions energy bills and buy some more carbon offsets.

Answer 7

Its morphed into a looney liberal award. I think Rosie will get the next one. Right after she proves that 9/11 was an "inside job"....

Answer 8

Now I know the Peace prize is simply political. I am disgusted with liberal politics and all I want to do now is NEVER be a democrat.

Answer 9

Get real............The prize is about bettering tthe human condition for all!

Answer 10

THEY JUST LOVE TO STICK IT IN THE EYE OF AMERICA.
