EU wins Nobel Peace Prize.

Hmmm. For preserving peace in Europe for the last 60 years. I'd have given it to the Soviet Union. It was only the threat of overwhelming external force that got the Euro Trash to stop squabbling.

Does this mean we all get to share the prize money?

another bit of absurdity... for physical persons, a million may be nice, for orgs like UE, it's a drop of water in a lake.

It started with Obama getting the peace price, and now the EU!?? What the actual fuck. This clown Jagland needs to have his balls cut off, and we should leave the responsibility for handing out the peace price to the Swedes. They do a nice job with the other Nobel prices, and we have fucked this up so bad we don't deserve to have anything to do with it.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

I regretfully agree with every word.

Maybe this year's prize is just another way of saying they couldn't think of anyone who really deserved it? :dunno:

Yugoslavia wasn't in the EU, so it doesn't count. :roll:

Again? I thought they'd already won it once over in that other thread?

The nobel peace prize has been a joke for a long time
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Europhobes (and xenophobes) will be annoyed by this award. Europhiles will be pleased* about the recognition of the EU, as it has served as one of the key components for a wide European inclusivity. I don't have a timeline to hand, but this might be one of the longest periods of peace that Europe has ever seen.
