Got 5min left before my lecture resumes.. let me keep this quick.
Nobel Prize isn't prestigious? Wow. Do you come from an alternate universe?
I don't give a fuck about Seattle riots. The Nobel Prizes and the riots are two different events. Despite your claim of a similar point, I hardly think they are the same. Bad analogy.
The fact is this. It has been given to some terrible man over the years. But should we let it continue? I hardly think Alfred would think so.
If by your sense we take things so lightly, then what's the point of creating such prizes, and future prizes? Should mankind just forsake all prizes because "they'll somehow turn into jokes"?
They must have some value and therefore I believe there is a must to defend it.
Learn to pick battles worth fighting? But that is in your opinion. I believe it is worth speaking out for. Also, why is it impossible to fight world hunger and still talk about the Nobel Prize at the same time?
Its like why can't you watch TV while you eat your McChicken.
Using the "grow up" rhetoric hardly ceases to amuse me.

O you are just
precious. And no. I come from the universe where the Peace prize is often given to men who are somewhat less than peaceful. I imagine you're from the same one, though your dullenplain-esque grasp of sarcasm would indicate otherwise. I'm sorry if you swallow the rhetoric instead of the evidence when it comes to the peace prize, but that's hardly my problem.
And I wasn't making an analogy of the riots and the peace prize, I was making an analogy of your "all causes are deserving of equal treatment" bullshit. You'd know that if you'd learned how to read and interpret the language. A skill I guess they must not teach to music majors.
Of course Alfred Nobel wouldn't want to see his prize turned into a bloody farce, but it still has. The Nobel prize is as prestigious for the peace process as the Oscars are for films. It might be the biggest thing out there, but 9 times out of 10 they get it wrong. Your slippery slope argument is an utter joke, by the way. "We can't admit this thing is broken, because then everything might one day be seen as broken!"
Good job on that. Very intelligent approach to the situation. Learn to use the language before you try and be flowery and cutting. It doesn't hold up when all you're doing is drooling all over the forums. I imagine English is your second language, and that's fine, but know that if you don't understand concepts like irony or sarcasm, do not just treat what people say as literal. It makes you look like a donkey.
How ya doing, buddy?
