Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize 343
SmartAboutThings writes "Edward Snowden has a chance of getting the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize, as two Norwegian members of the Parliament have nominated him — Baard Vegard Solhjell (a former environment minister) and Snorre Valen. So, the fact that members of the Norwegian Parliament have proposed him for the Nobel Peace Prize could improve his chance of winning. After all, if Obama got this prize, why wouldn't Snowden get it?"

But if you like your Nobel Peace Prize then you can keep your Nobel Peace Prize.

You forgot the brain rays. The Zionists are using brain rays to alter people's subconscious into passivity. Fortunately, these rays can be blocked by a thin layer of aluminium.

It's pretty sad when you can get a Nobel Prize for not doing / being things. I wonder if someone could get a Nobel Prize in physics for converting the mechanical energy harvested from Alfred Nobel oscillating in his grave into the ultimate in renewable energy...

Well, Snowden's not Bush either, so that settles it. He should get one.

Not really, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Really? My broken digital clock seems to think it's 88:88 PM all the time. At what two times is that right?

And Henry Kissinger.
And that one there shows that the Nobel peace prize means NOTHING.
Hey that is not fair, for years Kissenger systematically carpet bombed civilians in countries that were not a threat to the US at all (Laos, Cambodia)... and then he stopped.
That means he single handedly stopped a horrific, unjust and criminal war. If that doesn't deserve a peace prize, it certainly deserves some kind of prize.
