Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Imagine Trump actually getting the Nobel Peace Prize. And it may unironically happen.

The Nobel Peace Price has been a damn joke ever since Obama got it for becoming president. It means absolutely nothing except to Trump who is sickly envious of Obama.

Tom Lehrer declared satire to be dead and stopped writing songs after Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize

It's a joke ever since Henry Kissinger got one.

Imagine the Pakistanis' shock that such a shining scion of human greatness and integrity would run counter of the foundational principles for which the Nobel Peace Prize is supposed to stand. /s

Oh shit they were serious?!

That was a fucking stupid idea to start with. What fucking morons would give any USA president the peace Nobel prize? Even to Obama, being a nicer one was very far from deserving that honor. (Just read that Kissinger you it too!?)

Well, Pakistan isn’t exactly a leader in world peace either…
