[Get Real!]

Anyway, there are many reasons why Cyprus/Greece should be the one(s) to accept this award ...

Yeah, maybe they can sell it and get a packet of fags…

Back to the OP ..................


This year’s Nobel Peace Prize was granted to the European Union (EU) for its relentless contribution to “the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe.

what??

While the EU’s contribution to peace is debatable,

so also is the EU's contribution to democracy bearing in mind as run it is not a democratic institution.......

Once again, Greece is about to help someone else get the Nobel Prize - for Economics!

If the Nobel committee wants to reward an economist whose work has shed light on contemporary events, it could opt for Kenneth Rogoff, the Harvard economist who did a stint at the International Monetary Fund. Rogoff, with co-author Carmen Reinhart, published the seminal study into debt crises, This Time is Different, which brought together evidence on 800 years of crashes and crunches. They found, among other things, that once a country reaches a debt-to-GDP ratio of about 90%, there's trouble brewing — an insight borne out recently by the experience of Greece, among others.

I also don't believe Greece was an exceptional or exemplary economic model for the current crisis. We know where it started (USA) and where it has spread (UK etc) and Greece is being used as a scapegoat or experiment to determine how much austerity can be imposed before a society crumbles. But they can't help themselves mentioning Greece every single time!

Could it be because people aren't rioting on the streets in the US or the UK...?

Hence why Greeks were the experiment. Because they protest - they make their feelings known. So one can gauge how the austerity measures are going down before they try the same level on others (who would crumble before raising a finger to change things.)

If only for this reason - the suffering deliberately imposed on the Greeks - it should be recognized how much they did towards raising the EU's profile to the Nobel Committee.

...this complex of technocrats and the people who exploit their talents want to crush Greek protest, doing so virtually eliminates the same reaction in other countries just as indebted. it is a small country comparatively. Europe is a prize, like any corporation, perhaps the people at Nobel know that.

...i am waiting for Turkey's bubble to burst, that's next, Erdogan will surprise the rest of us, the timing of it may, (with so many elections following one another), drag everyone into a war where, the next distraction for the World Press is a war for a Kurdish homeland, and where as Pakistan will join with Turkey in a bigger plan to divide the Continents, refusing to pay their debtors, and in the "unAmerican" ferver, tearing at this foe in Afghanistan hoping that Islam will flame. what of a Muslim Bomb? what of other Middle Countries who may join? in one swoop Capitalism is reduced to one of many possibilities.

(two invaluable allies or turncoats?) it is a sophisticated ruse because none of "them" want to pay back what is a confidence in the system they built toward this plunder; and beside that, the "them" i suggest exists, know no National allegiance, nor do they consider Universal Principals something worth defending, they have been in it for themselves for a long time now.

...this stuff above is just poetry, a rant to be more clear, i'm not going to correct the grammar and the like because it is way too out there even for me.

wow you spun this way out of any possible logical comprehension and in the process you acquired new interpretations to the words "lab rats"...
