  • Yoani deserves the Nobal peace Prize. None of us would do what she's done in Cuba. I admire her so much!

  • Shame that billions of people on Earth can't connect to the internet.

  • aah I am really lonely any Guys want to cam let me know

  • Sweden and Alfred Nobel gave Norway this opportunity after his death in 1896, during the union. I bet they are happy for that :)

  • clinton this jackass got the noble peace prize!

  • Free speech is what its all about. fuck all this peace shit. aint never gonna happen on this planet. without free speech, it would be a lot worse.

  • Hey, add me I am lonely and I need lots of friends.

  • please try to see the whole picture about internet, people and it's relation with the world. Academics say that internet "changed the world and started a revolution", it can really be a weapon of mass construction, just imagine some isolated communities getting connected with internet.. information is power, and hence, internet is an powerful weapon of equalty... internet has lots to grown to win the nobel price, starting by getting available to every people in the world, specially poor people.

  • @DanielxLira To DanielxLira:"Beauty and ugliness are everywhere~even in some of the same things.To some, a wide open prarie is empty and colorless~But to others,it is uncluttered simplicity~The way life itself ought to look." ~Indian Chief ~1796

  • great

  • Hmmm... So who's getting the money prize, then? Very bad idea. It's just a platform, the sum of it's "members". What's next, giving the Nobel prize to buildings? It'd essentially be the same thing.

  • @jsboutin3 To jsboutin3:"Only after the last tree has been cut down,Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find money cannot be eaten." ~Cree Prophecy~

  • oh oh, and i can download free games and programs and books and movies from the internet without paying the developers or producers! How cool is that???!

    internet is more like a tool, which people use to connect to the rest of the world. it's people themselves that's abusing it. but still, it shouldn't be cut to win ANY award.

  • @atlaswingpasaway To atlaswingpasaway:How about we Free the World and then everyone can meet in person?

  • cyber bullying (like here in youtube comments), widespread pornography, fraud, access to "ALMOST ALL" kinds of information, and "virtual living", do you think the internet can still influence that much good stuff to people (especially NOOBS)??

    this is bull crap

  • FOR CUBANS, THE WASP REPRESENT THE DARK HUMAN FACE, BUT FOR AMERINDIANS AND BLACKS THE CASTIZO, AND I MEAN THE ESPAÑOL/CUBANO IT´S THE SAME AS WASP WITH THEM. THEN.... DON´T HESITATE WITH YOUR EGO PUBLICITY AND GET OUT WITH YOUR RUSSIAN MAFIA. PIGS!!!

  • CUBAN AND LATINAMERICAN MAFIA, OF COURSE THE MASK OF CRISIS IN THE NAME OF THE POORS. INDIGNATION IS THE NAME OF THIS ("Y") GENERATION CUBAN MAFIA GAME. MAFIA CUBANA OLIGARCHIES IN ARGENTINA, BRASIL, SPAIN AND MÉXICO, THEY LIVE AS RICH PEOPLE, SOCIALIST PIGS IN LATIN AMERICA, THIEFS AND LIERS... EQUAL AS THE CAPITAL PIG.

  • i keep seeing this video

  • Que flojera leer todos estos comentarios. Abran sus propios foros y dejen de joder!

  • ¿qué sigue?... ¿Nobel para el teléfono, el celular, la radio, la televisión, las pinturas rupestres, cada uno de los idiomas del planeta?... Yo creo que el internet no es más que un medio de comunicación cualquiera, de cada persona depende el uso que se le dé, también es cierto que en internet se publica pornografía infantil y violencia. ¿Se otorgatá un Nobel a eso también?

  • No Peace Without War

  • VIVA CUBA SOCIALISTA !!

    GRANDE CAMARADA FIDEL.

    Esta señora solo lo que hace es denigrar a un Gran País como lo es Cuba, pues claro apoya al Gobierno de Estados Unidos ademas de estar vinculada con grupos terroristas tales como el Vejestorio ese Asesino llamado Luis Posadas Carriles Agente de la CiA ademas de ser Responsable del Atentado del vuelo 455 de Cubana de Aviación si mas no me equivoco Ademas de ser Extrema Derecha Fanáticos Religiosos, "Damas" de Blanco que Pinche Asco.

  • Yea, well, the Internet deserves it far more than Barack Obama did. He just sold $60bn in weapons to Saudi Arabia too.

  • Power of suggestion one click of the mouse. OH don’t forget the governments and companies also need a kick in the ass too, people are sick of the lies and crap they feed us.

    See that keyboard;

    it’s as powerful as a shot gun.

    If not more powerful.

    Media / governments all know it’s a dangerous tool in the hands of the people; it can screw their fictional reality they live in. They make the people suffer from their stupidity and greed.

    Team work (Pixtal possie)

  • LA MAFIA CUBANA ES LA GRAN MASCARA DE LAS PORQUERIAS QUE LLAMAN BLOQUEO, POR LA PAZ, CREO NO, POR EL ENGAÑO Y LA MENTIRA TAL VEZ. CUBA ENGAÑA Y HA ENGAÑADO A MUCHISIMA GENTE EN LATINOAMERICA, NO MAS UNA DICTADURA CON LA DEMOCRACIA COMO BANDERA Y MÁSCARA.

  • cool but whats she saying lol

  • I agree with @jpatton1989 , I think that you are less likely to find peace on the internet than most other places, there is always a handful of people who's ideas of peace goes out the window !

    the internet was made first and foremost for communication, and now it's Global. Hardly anyone can say that they don't have access to the internet in this day and age. Nobel Communication Prize all the way :] xx

  • I guess Helmut Kohl will win the Nobel Peace Prize this year.

  • Islam is true Solution from HIV

  • shut up

  • The Nobel Peace Prize lost credibility when they gave it to Obama.

  • This is sooooo fukin annoying just fukin block me from this PAGE PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ­ZZZZZZZZZ

  • so sexy

  • bitch !!!

  • Poop

  • HAHAHA! Unlimited porn, child porn, child luring, racism, sexism, bullying on web sites like The Dirty, music and video piracy, never being able to escape work, Farmville, Justin Beiber, and watching people fall on their nuts! ...Good choice!

  • @vonPickles Well, demand does create supply........

  • INTERNET SHOULD NEVER WIN ANYTHING, THE NUMBER ONE USE IS CHILD PORN...

  • @Camerador If you think the number one use of the internet is child porn, you are an idiot.

  • @erushbass it is true whether you believe it or not fucking wasp, go and try to remove your fucking Sharia lovers out of northern England, those fucking mullahs will expand your anus...

  • @Camerador Its not true.You are full of shit.As for the rest of your incoherent dribble, im sorry i dont know what your talking about.

  • @erushbass "Its not true.You are full of shit." that is one fucking use of your beloved language!! Seems to me that you are a burden in this thread.

  • @Camerador It least it coherant., you are full of shit.

    It seem to me you are a burden on the English language (and reality).

  • @erushbass Reality? That's perfect topic for you to expand if you can or if your meds allow you...

  • @Camerador Ok, I will.

    The number one use of the internet is research.

    However on your planet, its child porn.

    It is obvious to anyone that spends five minutes research (theres that word again).

    You are clearly the one who has a problem with reality, or your top use for the internet is child porn and cant rise above your own sad existance and realise the simple fact we are not all peadophiles.

  • @erushbass You are the one who said that i was an idiot for saying that. A very ignorant way to start a supposedly intelligent conversation.

    I wish that i had a problem with reality so i dont have to deal with ignorant people like you.

    Did i say that ALL of you are pedophiles? NO. If you take everything so personal that ANOTHER topic for you to use meds. In England, theyre only 6, 75.

    1 research was the number one use back in the 90's.

    You are geting boring. Peace.

  • @Camerador "Did i say that ALL of you are pedophiles?"

    No but yoy did say the number one use for the internet - and it isnt.

    Meds in the UK are actually 7.20, but dont worry, im accustomed to you completely fabricating facts,,,,,,,,

  • 25% of pornography downloaded from the internet is Child pornography. Yeah, give the internet a prize for being such an upstanding citizen.. Wait, oh God I've fallen into the trap of thinking of the internet as a person. By this woman's logic, every computer with an internet connection should be given a prize.

  • @sheepeasy 25%? were did you get that number from, the air?:D

  • @supkek of course he did, he is talking bollocks.

  • lol @ thumbnail

  • Looking at comment page 17

    @ GeborenInGoden

  • she is suggesting that we each do our part to add to peace, by connecting with one another, and create the world we want to see---she is right, we could with this internet connection; and we should.

  • @raccoonpoet she should be making suggestions to Fidel or his brother Raul or whomever is in charge of that hideous island. As usual, the 3rd world indigents are lecturing to others.

  • Ooh Ooh, and then we'll nominate Facebook, or Oprah, or Miley Cyrus! Give me a break people.

  • I cannot stand they way Cubans speak, their voices, accents, it's horrible. But what I dislike even more is that these people have no self respect, they know that they are not allowed in the USA, however, they have been imposing their presence here for decades. They have no trouble getting here floating on anything. Once here, they talk tough, made demands, my question is: why don't they talk tough in their pitiful island? and the same goes for the Haitians, Jamaicans, Dominicans...

  • @imreallyclever isnt this video about peace?

  • good

  • Cuba es la dictadura de más larga data en actual vigencia, cualquier acto, hecho, acción o medida conducente o que permita derrocar esta cruel y odiosa dictadura será válida y en consecuencia, si el premio nobel contribuye a eso, bienvenido.

    Yoani es una mujer valiente, heroina de la libertad y lo más importante, toda su titánica lucha la ha efectuado con medios absolutamente pacíficos.

    Yoani se merece el premio Nobel de la Paz.

  • Realmente creen que esta senorita esta contra el gobierno cubano? Vamos, porque no le han suspendido el servicio de internet? cuando por ejemplo en mi caso hice una llamda telefonica a cuba y dije a mi familia "eso esta jodio ya" y me sale una senorita diciendo" companero tenga cuidado lo que dice, recuerde que UD esta alla pero ellos estan aqui", Dicho esto porque todavia esta persona tiene acceso a internet cuando es tan facil de quitar un cabel telefonico averiado", en cuba no hay wireless

  • gangbanggangbagn

  • I vote for the click. The mouse click should win the nobel prize for peace.

  • Ese premio nobel de la paz se esta convirtiendo en un relajo, ya no saben a quien nominar y esta comemierda ya no sabe de que hablar.

  • dobre

  • Bravo Yoani ! You will get castro loving comments from those who don't live under his tyranny, 24hr. surveillance, or freedom to travel out of the island jail..Thanks to the NOBEL internet, he hasn't killed you, too many free eyes looking in.

  • My reaction to world peace is that it could only be achieve through the kind of colective happiness that brings on real justice. Wacht poem Invitación, de iris Miranda interpreted by a student.

  • World peace is impossible. Anyone with a brain and a grasp on history and politics, and also psychology, knows that well. Where there's conflict of idea and interest there's not gonna be peace, God is the only way and we have no idea when He'll return. With Islamic radicals we won't have peace. No matter how hard anyone tries there will NEVER be world peace. Don't waste your time. If everyone got rid of their armies, someone would take advantage, and that'd be a big problem. Peace is impossible.

  • @Songwriter4God Well, how about just one day of it? And it doesn't have to be complete peace because people will always have disagreements. But just one day where people tried not to fight.

  • @shortaflip

    I understand that concept already exists. I think it is 23rd or 27th September and its called 'World Peace Day' or something like that- the idea was developed by a freelance journalist a few years ago but I forget the guys name.

  • The internet can be THE SINGLE MOST DAMAGING TOOL ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!! The people that use it can cause emotional damage in the most insidious way no matter how "inoccious" it seems to be. Then there's the matter of pushing/promoting how one should physically look i.e. short black hair to no hair at all and hairbuns for the woman and the reswt of the acesseories that go with it. THIS IS PROMOTING A VERY LIMITED WORLD VIEW!!!.

  • @WhatSayestThou too right....

  • @WhatSayestThou umad

  • @WhatSayestThou

    I suppose being able to turn your computer off, and walk away does not throw any flaw into your argument. On the internet you can choose what you want to watch, and what you want to be involved in. In real life some one can walk up, cut your throat, rape your wife, tell your son "thanks its been fun", then walk away and never be seen again. On the internet they can call you names, and prey on people who make themselves obvious targets. The most damaging tool on earth?

  • sranje wide0

  • its cool

  • how about the internet win the 2010 nobel trolling prize. TROLOLOLOLOOOO

  • Класс

  • It sounds all sweet and dandy but lets be realistic here. This wont change a thing....believe that. Rather then internet for peace, why not we focus our attention to our corrupt system which houses the poison which is slowly killing MANY nations. We cant accomplish anything if we cant get them out. Doing yet another "we our the world" song and dance isn't gonna help at all! Sounds logical? This isn't an attack but please America, REMAIN VIGIL. AlexJones INFOWARS. COM

  • wha goood and people is socialize and many people think different

  • If you wish that the internet be nominated for Peace then it must be true Peace meaning that the creator of the internet is not known because in a greedy world stuff and ideas get stolen so you must also nominate the internet as an entity, helping people connect with people but you must also elect the whole range of communications as entities to because each can bring peace to the world if there was a will for peace.Unfortunately understanding the term is notsimple

  • is all crap --..--

  • A PRAYER FOR PALESTINE FROM A JEW: Let us help them to create something extraordinary,just as we have for ourselves-it is in our best interest to do so.Let us help them to build a home they will love with all their hearts, as we love Israel!Wouldn’t we both be foolish to risk damaging something so precious?We are both great nations…let us never forget this.Let us nurture peace with our enemies, and recognize that they are a mirror…reflecting light unto the nations.

  • @tikkunolam613 Good luck getting the Palestinians to respect a Jewish nation. They won't. Even if Israel ceased their bombings, funded the construction of millions of homes, and helped the Palestinians to set up their own kibbutz- Palestinian terrorists would launch mortars against Israelis and the western media would find a way to blame THE JEWS. Anti-semitism cannot be cured by kindness, but by defence. Go Israel.

  • @sheepeasy Why are kindness and defense mutually exclusive strategies? Can't a nation be both strong and kind? It can I believe, if it is wise as well --

    Of course a 'cure' is possible! Strength without kindness or kindness without strength is a pharmacon... both a remedy and a poison, and not a good long term strategy against anti-semitism. But both artfully brought together can cure and even nourish.

  • Comment removed

  • Internet in a category which should definitely win a prize other then the Nobel peace prize. In my opinion I have seen more hate spread on the internet then peace and lets not forget internet was invented by the military which defies the whole point of peace..

  • @PsychoBurgundy2 you will one day.....6ft under....everyonr gets a piece of the world mate!

  • Interesting perspective she has.

    But do the Nobel rules allow their prizes to go to a non-human entity, in this case, a communication medium?

    As far as I know Nobel Prizes can only go to an actual person or persons.

  • She looks like she fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

  • Interesting perspective she has.

    But do the Nobel rules allow their prizes to be given to a non-human entity, in this case, a communication medium?

    As far as I know a Nobel prize can only be given to given to a person or persons.

    On another note, the internet is a double, or rather, a multi edged sword. It can be used for peace, but also for war and various other purposes. 

  • TITS OR GTFO

  • NOW.. let us put all our HONEST & INNOCENT heads TOGTHER to look from the ZIONIST Corporate LENSE... for they are watching this RIGHT now & thinking.. "how can we make a PROFIT out of this? and then "discard" the use carcass at the Wailing Wall for all of us to Wail ....

    The CORE issue is .. HOW to keep DIRTY ZIONIST Corporation AWAY from our NEXT GENERATION... Hope God will .. "disable" them with Next Genetic Disease? But they KNOW it & have "confisticated" Genome Project "results"..

  • sure why not, we might as well give the nobel prize to my toenail clippings, the damn thing means nothing to me if al gore can get it with his global warming horseshit and obama for... whatever the fuck he apparently did, lets just start giving it away to random objects now lol

  • @discountninjuh a cuerdate pendejo Death to you Pinche innocente habla como si tienes huevos pero no mas eres un pero comolos todos con dinero.

  • Can i haz nobelpeace prize?

  • "Those who hammer their swords into plowshares, will soon be plowing for those with swords."

  • Internet = most detrimental invention in human history.

  • By her logic, the internet should win the Nobel Communication Prize. Not the Peace Prize. Because she claims the internet should win because of the networking it provides. I'd rather vote for the unsung hero that goes neighborhood to neighborhood cleaning the streets. The people providing homes for the homeless. The couple that decides to adopt a dying African baby...not the hate-filled, sexist, racist internet. The internet winning is almost as ridiculous as Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

  • @jpatton1989 Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in the hope that He would Change American Foreign Policy But Obviously hes just another War Head....

  • @jpatton1989 Your right the internet is an abyss full of racism, hate, sexism etc. But it is also a tool that many people around the globe use to connect with another person around the world and get there perspective on life, which in turn teaches tolerance. Yes half of the internet is filled with all the stuff you mentioned but it is also filled with a lot of things that make people less ignorant and tolerant towards other human beings and the world.

  • @jpatton1989 nah, fedor deserves the nobel peace prize.

  • Comment removed

  • @jpatton1989 i have to agree

  • @jpatton1989 in spanish and with some Cuban background she says that Internet deserves the prize for unifying and empowering those kind of rebel ones who oppose the mainstream. I find, that serves all the ones in your list.

  • @jpatton1989 You're looking at it frm the wrong perspective. The internet reflects humanity as a whole combining all races/ inner thoughts and ideas. This is how humanity has ALWAYS been. It has helped unify people from one country to another and spread ideas and knowledge. The internet helps you learn and has undoubtedly helped science and history. It has made the good famous and the bad, hated. People have many friends in other countries now and the world has been more "in tune" then ever b4.

  • @jpatton1989 i woyudnt fart in a jar for a street cleaner, and homeless people are all scum.

  • @erushbass then you sir, are a douchebag.

  • @jpatton1989 The only douchbag around here thinks a street cleaner has given us a better life than the internet.........

  • @erushbass lol It's funny because you said that I think "a street cleaner has given us a better life that the internet" when in fact that's not what I said. I said a "street cleaner" as you so wrongly called it, has promoted more peace than the internet. And the fact that you're fighting with all these people just proves my point. That the internet is more of a haven for arguing and hate than someone whose cleaning up the neighborhoods. BTW that doesn't mean trash. That means making them safer.

  • @jpatton1989 No, ill tell you whats funny. over here in the uk they are called street cleaners, and considering they clean the streets i dont see how its wrong to call them that in any country.

    OK so you think a street cleaner has done more for 'peace' than the internet? What about the ones who get drunk & cause fights? what about those that use the internet to reasearch & innovate?

    Your comments are more a reflection of you than the internet.

    Ie you call it arguing, I call it debate.

  • @erushbass I already told you that when I said "cleaning the neighborhoods" I wasn't taking about trash. Dude, quite dwelling on that. This isn't about garbage...wow...and why do you keep trying to start drama? This is exactly why I said the internet is a place for hate. Hop off that whole "street cleaners" thing because this isn't about garbagemen. haha

  • @jpatton1989 Id love to see your definition of cleaning the neighborhoods.

    Writing tickets, enforcing stupid regulation & generally having government stick there nose into peoples business.

    Id rather enjoy the freedom of the internet, dispite its probs than your 'street cleaning patrol'.

    I thought when you said cleaning the streets you meant a street cleaner, a pretty easy assumption to make?

    You hate the net & think people should be hearded around like sheep.

    Prob because YOU do.

  • @erushbass You stupid ugly, crooked tooth, coward, British faggot. Now tell me: the internet really is a place of peace now isn't it...you homo.

  • @jpatton1989 Ahh proves my point, its not the internet that not peacefull or full of hate.

    ITS YOU.

    Just because some moron (ie YOU) spits a load of filth at another person, dosnt make 'the internet a unpeacefull place'.

    You should try stepping out of your own miserable existance for a while......

  • @erushbass First, I only said that to prove to you the internet is more of a hate-filled place than a peaceful place. After all, the internet is merely a representation of it's users. It's not like the internet is a self-sustaining, magical being that has it's own personality. If a million racists network through the internet, then the INTERNET IS RACIST. Because those are the users.

    BTW you're a hypocrite for saying I'm "full of hate"...mister "homeless people are the scum of the earth"

  • @jpatton1989 Firstly, I know why you think you said it., but the fact is it dosnt 'prove' in the slightest that the internet is a bad place, it just proves (like pretty much anything) bad people use it..

    Cars run people over are they bad?Money is used to finance arms deals is money bad? Just in case your struggling, no, they are seriously life enhancing things, LIKE THE INTERNET.

    All your comments show is you 'view of the world' thankfully its one I do not share.

  • @erushbass ps im not a hypocrite. I dont hate homless people, I just think that in my country, where it is impossible to become homeless unless you dont fill out a few basic forms arnt worth bothering with.

  • @jpatton1989 To jpatton1989:Make the corrupt ones in power of the governments do the migrant farm workers jobs.

  • freedom !!!!

  • Are you kidding? have you seen the foul language and threats made by those just on this website. Internet - peace ? Hardly.

    What should we expect? Someone makes a nice video and the Nth Koreans open theirs borders as a result or the Taliban repent and start taking in stray dogs instead?

  • @daggyz1959 No but its better than nothing a spark can lead to a fire

  • @HolyjesusAsshole

    And 'AcidBugler' just proved my point!

  • @daggyz1959 Smokes Some Weed best way to bring upon direct peace...

  • Peace under tyranny is death.

  • The NPP has degenerated into a dubious honor because of the obvious, blatant, petty leftist politics of the five Norwegian judges who award it. The internet is too cool to have that hung around its neck.

    All of the judges probably love Castro and many Nordics go to Cuba for vacations and hand the regime hard currency that has helped sustain the dictatorship.

  • @Omnious24

    not really most european countries have been opposed to Castros reign over Cuba, including the nordic countries. But i suspect it has alot to do with the U.S expressing their sentiment as well. To be honest the Nobel has lost it's impact and worth over time. It probably has to do with the fact the institutions of prestige usually have a somewhat of a short shelf-life, i'm sure there will be another institution that will become more important and popular in the following generations.

  • this is stupid

  • Peace to the earth.

  • i want to see Yoani Sanchez do a spinning heel kick

  • We should all remember a lack of military intervention allowed the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 to get to the extent it did.

  • @WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1 ok But Also Led To More Than 20 U.S. backed coups against democratic governments So we need to take to in account why are there U.S. military all over the world......military imperialism.

  • @HolyjesusAsshole

    You make a fair point. I have actively opposed some aspects of US foreign policy and you are right; it is effectively a military empire even if successive presidents deny that.

    However I think that with hegemony (whether it be American now, British in the 19th century or Chinese in the future) there will be an aspect of 'damned if you do damned if you don't' The US is condemned as a war machine if it intervenes but also condemned as selfish and useless if it doesn't.

  • The US is a powerful country whether we like it or not. The question should be; how is that power used? Every hegemony in history has had to also face responsibility. And the very nature of global geopolitics means there will always be some countries stronger or more significant than others. Nations are a bit like people in that sense. I want to see the war in Afghanistan end as soon as possible but not if peace condemns women to once again live in slavery and so on (word limitation)

  • I think the idea of this is one for optimism about human goodwill. Unfortunately I just don't think pacifism is realistic to the lessons from human history. Wars should be avoided as much as possible but there are times when tyranny is worse. There is nothing noble about appeassing despotic regimes and that is where pacifism potentially fails. I take no pleasure from saying this. I have seen something of violent political conflict so im not de-sentised but there are situations when war is the

  • cont...

    lesser evil when the alternative is tyranny. Afghanistan is a good example. Yes, it is in a violent and troubled state today with war raging. But how many people would really want to see it return to the days of the Taliban- there was relative stability (in the wake of the anarchy) but at a cost of the most extreme form of theocracy. The situation in Afghanistan is complex and difficult but there has been progress. The idea of women standing for election would have been incomprehensible

  • cont... 10 years ago. The only way this came about was with military intervention against the regime.

    The good news is there are fewer wars and armed conflicts than there were in the 1990s and by that logic fewer suffering but the bad news is that no matter how many good intentions there are, tyranny and violent conflict will always exist on some level. Europe today is one of the most peaceful regions on earth but it went through immense bloodshed to get there. Although im no economist it may

  • cont....

    be that conflict, sadly is an innevitable part of the development of nations. When peace settlements are reached, investment gradually returns and nations gradually develop but political arguments, religious tensions and friction over natural resorces will always be innevitable. To me pacifism sounds wonderful but like anarchism, it is utopian and just not feasible for a planet shared by 6.8 billion diverse people. The root causes of war must always be tackled intensely but as Plato

  • said 'Only the dead have seen the end of war'

    Unfortunately I think he was right. Even with fewer armed conflicts than a generation ago (a fact that should be welcomed) there is always air of imminent conflict, usually in the Middle East and especially today, regarding the Ahmadinejad regime in Iran.

  • i think the internet should win a nobel prize.

    think of all the free porn it has given us access to over the years.
