Noel Prize Means Nothing Anymore....

[jaguarr]

Well I've heard that expressed a lot better than "It wasn't that horrible."

I've heard variations on "3,000 people killed, and that's terrible, and devastating to the American public, but they should be aware that people all over the world have been living with fear like that for generations, like in Israel, etc."

I didn't say she was eloquent about it (which is sort of sad, since she's a Nobel Prize winning author).

You know, Memphis Slim, just because someone wins a Nobel Prize doesn't automatically mean you have to agree with everything they say.

[SIZE=+1]9/11 'not as bad' as IRA blasts (2007 Nobel prize winner)[/SIZE]

Madrid - Nobel prize winning author Doris Lessing said in an interview published on Sunday that the September 11 attacks had not been "so bad" when compared to Irish Republican Army action.
"September 11 was terrible, but if one re-examines the history of the IRA, what happened in the United States wasn't so bad," Lessing - who captured this year's Nobel literature prize - told Spain's leading El Pais daily.
The IRA waged a lengthy armed struggle against British rule in Northern Ireland. It declared an end to its armed campaign in 2005.
"Some Americans believe I'm crazy. Many people died, two prominent buildings fell, but it was neither as terrible nor so extraordinary as they think," Lessing said of the 2001 attacks in New York and Washington in which about 3 000 people were killed.
In similarly pointed remarks in the Spanish translation, she described former British prime minister Tony Blair as a "little showman" who proved disastrous for Britain and US President George W Bush as a "world calamity".
"Everyone is weary of this man. Either he is stupid or he is very clever," Lessing said of Bush adding that the US leader came from "a social class which has profited from wars".
She told El Pais she had recently finished a book on war.
The 87-year-old British author, who has written about feminism, politics and her childhood in Africa, won the Nobel Prize on October 11. Along with her epic novels, she is also known for her political views that have embraced Marxist, anti-colonialism, anti-apartheid and feminist causes over the years.

Why did you highlight that last bit? I can understand Marxism, and, knowing your political leanings, maybe even anti-colonialism, but anti-apartheid and feminism? Really? Are those so bad?

Btw, the people who decide the winners can't predict what somebody will say after winning the award, nor should that factor in. She was given the prize for her work.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

oh you and your shenani... ouch!

Have you seen Supertoopers?

 

[DBella]

You greedy sob, share!

I think I'm more of a "dob" than a "sob".
Share? That word isn't in my vocabulary. What is it?

 

[sinewave]

Have you seen Supertoopers?

twice in the theater and probably a half dozen times since.

 

[BAH HUMBBUG!]

Ok
