It's such a joke that we're even having to discuss this. Has there ever been such a thin-skinned, self-absorbed leader of a major power before? Even his biggest fans have to admit, if only to themselves, that he acts like a toddler.

#102so the discussion on circumcision gets flagged, but symbolic peace prize squabbles doesn't?
I didn't see that, but it's obviously doomed to flamewar. (As is this, but a daily reminder to trump supporters of what everyone thinks of them doesn't hurt)
If truth, logic and rationalism were weaker than lies, narcissism and incumbents, the renaissance could never have occurred, freedom of beliefs and freedom of speech were essential to develop philosophy, science, etc. during the renaissance and after.

So who gets to decide what hurts? For clarity I don't think this discussion should be flagged, but the double standards are eye-gouging.

Knut Hamsun (Literature Prize 1920): In 1943, the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun travelled to Germany and met with Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. After returning to Norway, he sent his Nobel medal to Goebbels as a gesture of thanks for the meeting. Goebbels was honoured by the gift. The present whereabouts of the medal are unknown.

> Henry VII What do you have against Henry VII? From Wikipedia he seems to have been a good king.
He was a clever king, but no one good could be king of England for more than about 18mths in those days. I think that the parent probably meant Henry VIII.

Are you saying that bombing multiple countries for little to no reason, trying to force a regime change in Venezuela, and threatening to steal Greenland by force isn’t peaceful????

Sorry you got scammed, FIFA awarded me their 100m sprint gold medal so I'm the real fastest 100m runner in the world
FIFA did themselves a solid punch in the face with that one. And to make it better, Trump kind of presented it to himself. Amazing. Key bit at about 35 seconds in. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jan/18/embarrassme...

#108She was asking for military intervention to own nation, in other words, she wanted people get killed because she wanted to rule the government and she was ready for every possible brutal solution
Even worth, Nobel committee lost its credibility, subsequently diminishing the importance of Nobel prize itself

Machado gave Trump her medal, there's no much more to it.

You guys are idiots. I got an entire TV network to tell everyone I’m the fastest 100m sprinter in the world so that title should belong to me.
