A Nobel Peace Prize or your very own Chia Head named after you, molded in your own likeness? Both are quite an accomplishment, so which would it be?

The Chia is more productive and useful, the other is the equivalent to the Cracker Jack box prize.

I like Cracker Jacks, especially when the little suprise inside the box happens to be money. Besides, if the past few examples of recipients of the Nobel peace prize were able to win, I figure I can also. :lol:

Space Cowboy: I agree with you on that, it's why I likened it to the CJ prize. I could win, anyone could win with that bunch of brainiacs on the nomination committee!

Me thinks that between you and me, we know everything there is to know. You think you know it all, except the fact that you are a pompous know-it-all, and I know that.

Since 99, There is not one single person on that list that deserves to be there.
Obama aint been around long enough to know either way.
Al Gore????? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yunus????? :lol: :lol: :lol: and I would bet bet you blame Bush for all the financial troubles we have....go dig into this persons paper trail.
Kofi Annan? :lol: ...a known brutal communist :roll:
Jimmy Carter? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ...even funnier than Gore
To be sure, there are many names on that list that deserve to be there, but the Nobel Peace prize has been a joke for at least the last decade.

With this post, you have just proven my point. I know Im not always right, and many times I have apologized to several people for being wrong, unlike you. You seem to get some perverse pleasure out of trying to yank my chain, yet you always resort to snide commentary towards me whenever I try to make a point.
Please show me where I said who the the true winners are or should be. I just pointed out some of those who didnt deserve it.
