The Nobel Peace prize really is the turd of all medals

[–] kirk781@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of the quote Political Satire became obsolete when Kissinger was awarded the Peace Prize. But over the years, there have seriously been multiple controversial candidates who got the prize.

I mean... the guy who invented dynamite and all that

Well yeah but wasn't that why he came up with the Nobel prizes in the first place, to not be remembered as a monster?

My other comment still stands... Trump can receive as many as he can and I'll still see him for what he really is... a giant piece of shit

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I fully agree

You can polish a turd all you want but it'll still smell like shit

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And it's still made of shit!

True, but it's only the Peace Prize that's a total joke, even the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics is taken more seriously than the Peace Prize

As far as I'm concerned, Trump can have as many as he wants but I still think he's a piece of walking shit
