Why not give Prince a nobel prize? Seriously.

The Nobel will states that it should go to those individuals that:

"have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

there is a prize for Literature, why not music?

WHY NOT THE BEST MUSICIAN ALIVE?

The only rock artist who has ever been mentioned as having a chance of winning the Nobel Prize is Bob Dylan and if even he doesn't win it, fat chance for any other rock star. Why bother... We have the Grammys, the R&R Hall of Fame... Plenty of other prizes for rockers to win.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

To have a chance of winning, you first have to be nominated:

Nomination for peace

Nominations for literature

A Polar Music Prize though. He would deserve that.

Prince.org is proof that Prince causes bickering, arguing & crying amongst his own fans.

The very opposite of peace.

Rest of the world is indifferent; not the stuff of Nobel Peace Prizes, eh?

Seriously: the nobel prize is a joke.

It holds no value anymore after Barry Soetero received one.

Barry certainly ain't no Ghandi.

The most prestigious award he stands a chance of winning is a Kennedy Center Award. Nominations from the public may play some small part in the selection process, so I'd strongly suggest voting if you'd like to see him granted one while we have a black man in the White House (if that is of any particular importance to you).

You can recommend him here: http://www.kennedy-center...ts/honors/

Well done on falling for an urban legend. Did you know the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

Like it or not, Obama deserved that prize and has been a fantastic leader of the free world.

So what actually are you trying to say here?

That Barry Soetoro never existed?

That Barrack is Ghandi?

You are very much veering offtopic lacking a decent connection to my statements.

Like it or not, Obama deserved that prize and has been a fantastic leader of the free world.

.

Hahahaha!

You show yourself als clearly misled.

Barry at that time only showed some promise.

Afterwards he corrected that by various amounts of kinetic action in various region in the world for no good reason that would benefit the people in the former USA.

Barry can really preach but do not pay attention to his words.

Pay attention to his deeds.

Compare the wars, compare the costs of wars with his predecessors.

Compare the increase of the debt.

Compare the amount of drone flights, hits and lack of trial for 'suspects'.

Barrack is evil and he knows it.

Barrack is at least as evil as the most recent ex-president Bush if not worse.

Barrack did not fix anything, did not build anything and only serviced the interests of the companies. Even now he is pushing TPP, TTIP and TISA which are very evil.

.

Your lack of direct comments to my statements shows plenty.

Bye bye, live well under that stone.

.

And yes, you can give P a nobel prize but it would only confirm my statement about the prize.

Not my fault if people are not familiar with reality.

Especially when things are quite obvious and have been so for a few years the situation arises that reality should have been known to the whole of the population.

Obama was never known as "Barry Soetoro", you conspiracy nut.

As for the rest of your nonsense, let's recap:


Some of Barack Obama's accomplishments.

- took out Bin Laden

- legalized mariujana

- legalized gay marriage

- Created more private sector jobs in 2010 than during entire Bush years

- Voluntary disclosure of White House visitors for the first time in US history

- Appointed first Latina to the US Supreme Court

- Reversed 'global gag rule', allowing US aid to go to organizations regardless of whether they provide abortions

- Signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, giving the FDA the authority to regulate the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of tobacco for the first time

- Signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, restoring basic protections against pay discrimination for women and other workers

- Signed the Children's Health Insurance Reauthorization Act, which provides health care to 11 million kids -- 4 million of whom were previously uninsured

- Issued executive order to repeal Bush era restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research

- Signed the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Act, the first piece of comprehensive legislation aimed at improving the lives of Americans living with paralysis

- Increased minority access to capital

- Established Credit Card Bill of Rights, preventing credit card companies from imposing arbitrary rate increases on customers

- Health Care Reform Bill, preventing insurance companies from denying insurance because of a pre-existing condition

- Tax cuts for up to 3.5 million small businesses to help pay for employee health care coverage

- Significantly increased funding for the Violence Against Women Act

- Lifted restrictions granting Cuban Americans unrestricted rights to visit family and send remittances to the island

- Expanded hate crime law in the US to include sexual orientation through the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act

- Signed financial reform law requiring lenders to verify applicants' credit history, income, and employment status

- Signed financial reform law prohibiting banks from engaging in proprietary trading (trading the bank's own money to turn a profit, often in conflict with their customers' interests)




but no, let's ignore all this amazing stuff and just say "he didn't fix anything", "he's evil", and other such nonsense statements and random crap about "wars".

If this keeps up, can we please get this thread moved to Politics and Religion? At least there, only people seeking to be antagonized will have to see it...

One thing I still like about this thread is its the only time you'll ever see "give Prince a Nobel prize" and "seriously" said together. Well, other than someone saying "You want to give Prince a Nobel prize? Have you seriously lost your fucking mind?" or "Giving Prince a Nobel prize is seriously the shittiest idea I've ever heard."
