I thought this was great. I didn’t know it was your original. Nice!
Right, you didn’t miss it, you just, uh, misplaced it, right? :smack:
So what? I would never doubt that wars occur because of natural resource shortages. Gore points out there could be a shortage as others have before him. Again, Gore is doing his job well but to me that’s a big stretch to say he’s directly intervening for peace.
Getting down to brass tacks, the Committee obviously wanted to make a statement about global warming and reward Gore, and this was the way they felt they could do it. But it does make the prize look political rather than simply as a no-brainer recognition of the biggest peacemakers. But peace always has to do with politics, unlike science, so I’m back to questioning the sensibility of the Peace Prize in the first place.
IOW, your restating the Committee’s trumped-up reasons for giving Gore the prize doesn’t make them those reasons, or the prize itself, any more credible.
You continue to misread the situation. Grass pretended he was wholly innocent and lied about his past while claiming the right to cast judgement on others for the crimes of the Nazi era (and supporting Stalinist terror the whole while). And his arguments don’t hold water anyway.
He claims that he never noticed that he was requesting a transfer to a Waffen SS unit, until, possibly, after he got there. But maybe not then.
In a way, Grass as the deposed self-righteous bastard is a much more fitting representative of his nation during WW2 and the immediate postwar years. Looking the other way and going with the flow, followed by experimentation with alternative ideologies where convenient and a desire to erase the past. Grass is, in his own dirty way, quite normal. But certainly not impressive.
“Wholly innocent” is a bit misleading. The general assumption was that as a member of the “flakhelfer generation” he served in a less remarkable position. A German male born in 1927 who was neither imprisoned nor part of the war effort would be a bit hard to believe.
In which way did he do that?
Who claims that he requested a transfer?
Obviously you do, man, judging from your slicing and dicing, not of a cucumber, but of my post. Took some nifty formatting there, man. There, there, I know it was taxing. Maybe you should take another of those nice little pills.
Damn, I’m feeding the mentally ill. I shouldn’t, but he’s so cute when he’s angry.
Mom, can I take him home to the basement? I want him as a pet and I bet when he starts shaking from the withdrawals, he’s gonna jack me off real good. He won’t be expensive to keep, just feed him open faced cucumber sandwiches.
Not one of the purple pills, baby, I don’t need them. I’m ready to go right now! Hey, you Swedes let it all hang out in the sex department, so let’s see what ya brung.
Feed it, honey, feed it oh feed it!
Oh that’s where you keep the “bad toys”? Oh baby. Subterranean homesick blues!
No, you’re not.
It could cause hurt feelings and coping anxieties. Can’t we just say we all won and be done with it?
Aeschines, you post too many times in a row, constructing an edifice of agreement with yourself that really convinces only you that you’re not alone on your self-constructed ile de la betises.
It’s typical of you that you start a thread criticizing either the award of the Peace Prize to Gore or his acceptance of it (or, considering the source, the idea of rewarding intellectual endeavor or merit in general), defend it with an ignorant but impassioned attack on Gunter Grass (a different man, winner of a different prize), and tie it all together with a tightly-reasoned assault on open-faced sandwiches.
Kid, it’s too much. Too many of your threads are stupid attacks on other, better intellects because they have won awards you can barely spell. You may as well rail against major league baseball’s choice for MVP while swinging angrily and futilely at the tee-ball carefully and hopefully placed just in front of you.
Try coming up with an original thought – just one. Share it with us. Quit reacting to every idea that crosses your consciousness as if, because it isn’t yours, it is hostile to you. Al Gore is a smart guy, his thoughts and his hard work with respect to global warming are worthwhile, he deserved and won an award that some others have won and not deserved, and your puerile tantrum merely serves as contrast to a thoughtful and productive life.
…
First off, suck my dick. Now let’s address your imbecilic post.
Is that like Madonna’s “La Isla Bonita”?
What are you worth, muthafucka? I’m a master of one of the world’s most difficult languages and have all kinds of degrees ‘n’ shit. I kick your ass intellectually with one ass cheek tied behind my back. King of Soup? I say, “King of Piss.”
Well, I’ll accept your compliment about the open-faced sandwich attach in the spirit in which it was intended. Gunter Grass is a hypocritical cunt, as has been amply demonstrated in this thread by myself and others. I trust you won’t try to defend his sorry ass any further.
You got a cite, muthafucka?
Again, I don’t follow baseball, either of the roid-pumped or t-ball variety. Sounds like you long for the days of Little League, eh, my Piss Soup friend.
OK, how’s this: You fucken suck.
NO FUCKING SHIT. I said that in the OP, you fucking dildo. Did you even read my fucken OP, you retard piece of shit?! :mad: 
Who, yours? You’re a basement-dwelling basket case jacking off to your mama’s photo, so FUCK OFF, DICKHEAD!!! :o
The monkeys make trophies and then they give them to each other.
Like it means something.
Wow, Ass-k’knees. Touch the bell once lightly and you drool right on cue, huh?
It’s good that you’re willing to praise yourself so highly – most folks don’t get that kind of stroking unless others are willing to do it for them – but if no one else is willing to step up, sometimes you have to be your own best friend. Have you shared the incredibly-difficult language of which you are master with anyone else yet, or is it still confined to your super-secret diary? Does it involve the super-difficult use of capital letters for no good reason? 'Cause that trait seems to spill into your not-so-hot mastery of English quite a lot. I’m glad you have lots of degrees and shit, but, you know, most folks would value one more than the other. And, unless your body is as disjointed as your brain, your ass-cheek is already behind your back. Perhaps your neck pushed it out of place?
Keep flailing, kid – I knew there’s such a thing as an inferiority complex, but you are the first example I’ve seen of the rare and spectacular inferiority googolplex
I guess, man, and you totally burned me.
Apparently you understand this feeling well. The little birds in the trees all sing my praises. First they chirp, “Love you, Jesus.” Then they chirp, “Love you, Aeschines.” It’s a good life.
Others know what you don’t, and I’m sure will come along to enlighten you.
Mmm-hmm, that’s why I get paid professionally for my writing–and you don’t, El Lose-O. That’s Spanish, in case you didn’t know.
Three cheers for the Burn Master. Dude, you Da Shit!!!
Painting signs?
I hope someone else proof reads them.
Hey, don’t you clean the toilets up the street at Nokia? Your crowd is calling for you.
“The Nobel Peace Prize is retarded.”
And thus the argument against Web 2.0 is made precisely and convincingly. Nice work.
Troll thread. Why must you people continue to be suckers?
Troll thread? The fuck?
Was I unclear in some way? This is a thread with a thinly-veiled purpose: for Aeschines to pick fights with other posters. I doubt he gives a damn one way or the other about Gore or the Nobel. He’s feeling pugnacious. That’s pretty much the end of it.
Now, because I attempt to practice what I preach, I will not be visiting this thread again.
