First Obama and now the EU. Does this organization purposely seek to become the laughingstock of the world. The countries in the EU are erupting into chaos and the EU led the attack on the sovereign nation of Libya, while continuing to support the occupation of Afghanistan.

It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

such a joke, they gave it to obama almost immediately after his inaugeration and then he ramped up the killings and signed things like the NDAA
if the EU follows this model and responds similar to how obama did, europe will spark WW3 in the next 4 years.

“Why is the Nobel Peace Prize so prestigious” —– Jim Rogers
C’mon Jim!!! Use your brain! It’s because of the fucking media coverage. No media coverage = no prestige.
Briefly — the Nobel Peace prize committee consists of five people. Read that again …. FIVE people. And I use the word “people” only in the most general sense. They are fucking liberal Eurotrash socialist leftist cocksuckers.
Here they are. And if the pics don’t post, the link is here; http://nobelpeaceprize.org/en_GB/nomination_committee/members/

The Nobel Peace Prize was a great idea to create diversity of Nobel Laureates. How fair would it be that if you only gave Nobel Prizes for hard sciences and only white males win?
You need a composite of the Democrat voting base to be fair
Homo’s = Paul Krugman
Disparged Women = Women who won the Peace Prize for Land Mine awarness.
Negro’s = Kofi Annan, Obamma

“Just Doing Our Job”
How Cops Justify Stop-and-Frisk
by ERIN NIEMELA
“I will break your f**king arm off right now,” a New York police officer shouts. “You want me to smack you?” warns another. The exclusive audio is shocking and the first of its kind. It is the only known audio evidence of a NYPD stop-and-frisk in progress, released Tuesday in the documentary “The Hunted and the Hated: An Inside Look at the NYPD’s Stop-and-Frisk Policy.” The audio captures the experience of Alvin, a Harlem teen, who the police claim is being stopped for “being a f**king mutt.” For New York communities of color, the recording represents an every day experience, and it will undoubtedly fuel the stop-and-frisk controversy that has been brewing for several years. Clearly, the aggressive and even violently intimidating behavior of some NYPD officers cannot be tolerated in a civilized society. Of course, not everyone agrees. The back story only exacerbates the conflict.
The Center for Constitutional Rights reported a record 683,724 New Yorkers were subjected to the stop-and-frisk practice in 2011 alone. 84 percent of those stopped were Black and Latino community members, and the New York Civil Liberties Union claims 88 percent of people stopped were innocent. Such numbers generate controversy for the NYPD and New York State officials, and this new audio evidence will likely push the envelope of those discussions.
While the audio has received copious amounts of media as the smoking gun of stop-and-frisk controversy in New York, the rest of the film also gives great pause. Eight minutes are devoted to anonymously interviewing several police who frame themselves as victims of the system and justify their participation in the stop-and-frisk practice.
“What civilians don’t understand is that the police department is, like, forcing us to do these unreasonable stops, or you’re gonna get penalized,” says one unidentified officer, masked, presumably to escape reprimand. Departmental policy and peer pressure are blamed while the officers interviewed strive to exculpate themselves and, we are to assume, all officers.
Weary of what appeared to be a justification of an unethical, abusive, and some would say illegal practice, I contacted co-producer Erin Schneider to confirm the intentions of the video.
“What we wanted to do with the video,” Schneider stated by phone on Tuesday, “is make it clear that these cops are doing what they are told and what they are told is what’s causing the problem.” Schneider mentioned that the documentary intended to “highlight the intense pressure that many, but not all, of the officers feel.”
Unfortunately, this idea that responsibility for one’s actions is based on the absence of pressure only serves to justify the actions of “New York’s Finest” under the “just doing my job” rationale.
Historically, arguing that one is “just doing his job” is more readily understood as the “Nuremberg defense,” popularized by Nazi war criminals during the WWII Nuremberg trials. While it would be fallacy to compare Nazis to the NYPD, the concept remains the same. “Just doing my job” and “I was just following orders” are defenses that seek to remove responsibility from an individual person and place it on the greater institution. While the NYPD should absolutely be held responsible for stop-and-frisk abuses, we should not let individual officers off the hook so easily.
In his 2009 book, Just a Job?: Communication, Ethics, and Professional Life, Dr. George Cheney of the University of Utah looks at the commonly used phrase, noting that “just doing my job” is “invoked as a ready-made excuse, a cultural resource people can use to evade responsibility for their actions …” Phrases like this, he explains, serve to suppress ethical questioning, effectively ending the conversation. While the documentary is commendable for exposing institutional racism and even potentially building a bridge between aggrieved community members and police, what it mostly does is publicly justify the behavior of individual police officers, ending the discussion on who is responsible for stop-and-frisk abuses.
Cheney argues that the phrase is “culturally accepted” but does not simply “relieve one from ethical responsibility.” Police, in fact, have more ethical responsibility than many, given the nature of their job, and should take such a responsibility seriously.
In their 2012 manual, Police Ethics: a Matter of Character, Douglas Perez and J. Alan Moore explain that police have an obligation similar to a doctor’s Hippocratic Oath, what they call the “principle of beneficence” that requires police to have an ultimate obligation to “make people’s lives better … as well as prevent harm from coming to them.” Perez and Moore argue, “Police officers are the individuals in our society who ought to be most directly driven by this obligation.” Unfortunately for New York communities and the roughly 700,000 people who will be harassed this year via stop-and-frisk policy, some New York police officers have justified their decision to violate that obligation.
I asked Schneider about this, who responded, “the real impetus [of the documentary] was to kind of create some kind of pressure on the politicians, hopefully to push for an inspector general … there needs to be a place for these officers to go.” One can imagine the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who wish that they, too, had a safe place to go – a place free from racial profiling, harassment, verbal and physical assault, and from police who refuse to take responsibility for their actions by claiming “Hey, I’m just doing my job.”
While Schneider describes the exclusive audio as “an essential piece of the dialogue to move things forward … to enrage people to the appropriate level so that they will finally do something about [stop-and-frisk],” it is not just the audio that is enraging. The justification of what is heard on that audio is also enraging. As a society, we should consider such a justification absurd. Violating basic ethical principles to escape reprimand and get a promotion, ultimately causing harm to those you are sworn to protect, is the very foundation of corruption of human rights with which every citizen of every state should be concerned.

This is actually bigger than just another Friday funny, it shows that the elite have become so confident that the masses have been completely dumbed down and conditioned, that they no longer fear ridicule in shoveling pure unadulterated B.S. at the public. While the few on this site will read this headline and spew their coffee laughing, 99% of the zombies out there will either not notice, not care, or not know enough about the Euro to relegate this award to comedic status. There was a time when even if corruption existed, there was at least a shred of credibility in such institutions as to make them noteworthy, now we wander through our days in a completely fictional matrix wondering if there is anything at all left that is not a total and utter farce.

Well said Ben, but you left out one thing.
Out of the 99% that do “not notice, not care, or not know enough about the Euro…” you left out the ones that have NO CLUE what a Nobel Prize is. None. Haven’t heard of it (didn’t stick if they did hear it).
No matter how prepared I try to make myself to deal with the idiots amongst us, they continue to catch me off guard with the depths of their ignorance.
I had to explain to a lot of my sister’s friends what the Nobel prizes were. They had never heard of them before TGAPO (the great & powerful Obama) was awarded his.

Drowning in Parasitism says:
How far their star has fallen; it has long been in the hands of Cultural Marxists’ promoting fellow Marxists; so yes… Obama and the now imploding totalitarian, supra-socialist collective known as the EU are perfect fits. Here is neoCON David Horowitz’s excellent expose of one such receipient (the link to his “front-page” publication is down, but can be accessed possibly through Michele Malkin’s website);
“THE STORY OF RIGOBERTA MENCHU, a Quiche Mayan from Guatemala, whose autobiography catapulted her to international fame, won her the Nobel Peace Prize, and made her an international emblem of the dispossessed indigenous peoples of the Western hemisphere and their attempt to rebel against the oppression of European conquerors, has now been exposed as a political fabrication, a tissue of lies, and one of the greatest intellectual and academic hoaxes of the Twentieth Century.
During the last decade, Rigoberta Menchu had become a leading icon of the university culture. In one of the more celebrated “breakthroughs” of the multicultural left, a demonstration of left-wing faculty and students at Stanford University, led by the Reverend Jesse Jackson, had chanted “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western cultures got to go!” The target of the chant was Stanfords required curriculum in Western civilization. University officials quickly caved before the demonstrators, and the course title was changed simply to “CIV.” Works by ‘Third World; (mainly Marxist) authors previously “excluded” were now introduced into the canon of great books as required reading. Chief among these was an autobiography by an indigenous Guatemalan and sometime revolutionary, I, Rigoberta Menchu, which now took its place beside Aristotle, Dante, and Shakespeare as the Stanford students introduction to the world.
