There's no problem with this years winner, and may China choke on the award. Better this than some self-agrandizing or neophyte politician.Dr. Mordrid

No, I think the Norwegian Nobel Committee got it spot on this year. I love the pissing match that has come from it.
China: This will hurt our relationship!
Norway: Yawn, whatever. What are you going to do, stop flooding our nation with cheap, poorly made, non-biodegradable, toxic products? We're so scared...

I pretty much know how most here will comment a political story and political debates usually don't go anywhere or change opinions much and sometimes end up badly. So I pretty much stopped commenting on politics, also I'm a lot more busy lately than I was before.
Though I must say, I now understand some points of view different from mine better than before.
