Hey, Murcers! You're slipping!

[Brian Ellis]

Usually, when the Nobel Peace Prize is won, there are mountains of negative comments. Not a whisper this year! Ya goin' soft or summat?

[Fat Tone]

Many murcers don't seem inclined to comment on much at all these days

[Sasq]

on that note, in 17 days, for the first time in 11 years, I will be able to watch the news in my native Australian

[Fat Tone]

Then I wish you luck, and look forward to much commenting

[Dr Mordrid]

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

WTF?! (negative enough?)

[Jammrock]

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...

You could call all the world leaders who have suddenly taken an interest in Liu Xiaobo and are demanding his release a little...nah, it's just politicians being politicians.

True murcers are a dying breed. There are no new frequent visitors, and the current crop seems to be shrinking slowly... :-(
Maybe it is the time of the year as well?

As someone who gets to do that each and every day, trust me, the novelty will wear off VERY quickly...

Then there are those of us that visit every day (when at home) but rarely say anything...

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.

Most of us have been around for so long we're like old married couples. We already know how people will respond so we just sit in our rocking chairs and say "yup".

[KRSESQ]

Yup.
