insane? dumb? crazy? beyond hope? troll? grind's lover?

he can post some of the dumbest musings on the interwebs and then turn around and post some of the most intelligent musings on the interwebs.

kill him or like him?
 
Easily one of the greatest posters ever. Intelligent and well researched and spoken, amazing as a troll, and if he weren't so socially awkward he'd be awesome to hang out with.
 
I'm really an idiot, but sometimes I feel like joking around and acting like a smart person. After making a few intelligent posts, I can be like "Hah! You guys thought I was smart! I'm really an idiot though! Gotcha!"

One day, as a prank, I'm going to unify the electroweak force, strong nuclear force, and gravity. Then, while receiving my Nobel, I can laugh my ass off in my acceptance speech at the guys who just gave a Nobel to a retard.

The Nobel Peace Prize has always been the joke of Nobel's. For one thing, unlike the physics, chemistry, and literature prizes, which are awarded by professional institutions associated with those fields, the peace prize is selected by a five member committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament. The Norwegian parliament does not have to elect politicians to the committee, but they almost always have. Worse yet, they divy the seats out based on the partisan makeup of the parliament, not merit.

For the past decade or so, a coalition of the Labour party and the Socialist Left party has had a majority, so there are three committepersons from those parties and two from the right wing parties (who can easily be overruled). So the peace prize is essentially being used as a propaganda tool for a coalition of left-wing parties. That is why Obama and Gore won, because those parties want to influence the politics of the most powerful nation on Earth.

I love seeing my name as thanking watermark for his post on the peace prize. The incongruity of it is hilarious.

I'll go ya one farther then that. They gave one to Yassir Arraffat too! A man who knowingly killed innocent men, women and children.

Kill innocent people and advocate violence and terrorism for decades, but decide that you want to promise to stop? Perfect peace prize candidate! And they didn't even wait to see if he kept his promise, they just gave him the prize right away. That's one of the biggest problems with the prize. The other prizes are generally only handed out after a decade or two has passed, so that the Nobel committee can have the benefit of hindsight, and avoid handing them out to someone who's work was overhyped at the time or, even worse, fraudulent. The peace prize, on the other hand, is almost always handed out according to current events, which leads to a lot of embarrassing selections. Again, probably a product of the fact that it's controlled by politicians, who never think in the long-term.
 
Theodore Roosevelt was easily the greatest warmonger in American political history, and he won it as well.

Also, Kissinger = greatest US Secretary of State, so don't be forgetting that, people.
