seriously, that is the longest thread ever. How the heck do you expect us to read that? Just say "you are full of BS nana nana boo boo stick your head in doo doo" Then we will all know you disagree.
Squirrel, those of us here (there are a few) thank you for your long post....Its nice to see someone try to buck the fest of like minded people on some threads continually posting only to reinforce those who share their opinions.----and no, this is not a target toward any person at all. It will ultimately be discredited and ignored, but the dissent of popular opinion on the boards is nice to see.

Well thank you, I know laker and the urbster have tried to post things in the more truthful medium, and also to have a nice debate but really there isn't a whole lot of debate. Look at the history of the last 30 years, not so good. I also want to point out the great title of this thread, I mean wtf? A little history lesson on what the peace prize is and how it is determined might be in order but why? Ignorance is bliss, at least so I hear. Once again I like this forum, but seeing things like this and also the continued rhetoric is getting old. I think a political discussion is good sometimes but it's been turning into a fringe lately.
Case in point, no amount of proof will let you see the truth. If less government and more control of corporations really worked then the state of US economic problems that are going on now would not be there. Yes and america is waking up, look at the last election.

This doesn't make any sense. In the last 30 years the amount of government control over corporations has grown faster than in any time in our history and things have gone to sh*t... How does that prove your point?
Im again glad to see you keep trying here Squirrel.....but as George Carlin once talked about.....its tough to have conversations logically when not everyone has gotten to the "age of reason" yet. But at least its lively fun....if it were Bush, Limbaugh, Hannity, or the like minded idiots like them getting the prize (of course its for peace, so that could never happen).....we would be told to believe it was the greatest thing since the immaculate conception, or at least the crucifixtion.
You will not find a logical debate with him. He will look down on you and insult you with an elitist attitude and resort to personal attacks and emotional ramblings because that is much easier. I've come to expect no more from him. I disagree with Phebes, but at least he tries to have a real debate and doesn't just spout insults at anyone who disagrees with him most of the time.
Well stated squirrel (again), and I know myself and I could go on and on about "facts" and give url's to links to support my point...but life and time limits my ability to do this. Also, as you stated, its not as though minds are open to any idea that is perceived as "left wing, socialist, communist, obamaesque, resembling Pelosi, left of Chavez," or any other idea that falls out of line with peoples individual opinion on politics/current events. And since every post with any "facts" listed would simply be shot down with other "facts" which support a different opinion and attempt to prove yours wrong....who acts elitist now? And as far as personal attacks, some people simply put their feelings or thoughts out here, not to offend or hurt----just to have a voice heard in a friendly forum, and maybe put in a little dark humor....others try to masquerade "personal attacks" with long winded retorts to other posts or debating what the meaning of is, is. Im not looking to start trouble, just looking to eschew obsfuscation.
Your right on this one snake, and nor have I ever known anyone denied for immediate or urgent care...and in my job I see that alot---as well as a lot of people who have no insurance. The problem is very wide...hospital rates are NO DOUBT up there, court litigation, Dr. fees for services, procedures completed on illigal aliens-----just to name a few. I wish like hel! I had an idea of how to fix it----but the best I ever think of is band aids that work in one area and hurt another. While reform is needed, I am glad I am not one of the ones trying to please people-----of course Im not happy that politicians who care more about reelection that actual reforms either:/
