  • The Sun

    That piece of garbage newspaper always sends me letters to subscribe (how I ended up on their mailing is a mystery) so I just seal the postage paid envelope, empty, and drop it in the mailbox so they have to pay the postage. I suggest anyone else who gets their trash mail do the same. F_____ them and their right wing waste of paper.

  • War is Peace

    This ia a peace prize. Petraeus is a General who supports the war that his president and spokesman unleashed against all international rules.

    Right. So he's perfect.

  • Cow Head Soup

    Has Mad Cow Disease, what an amazingly self absorbed, incoherent rant.

  • ! ! !

    HEY ..... you hurt my feelings

  • ashamed to be an american

    Give us a break. Petraeus for the Nobel? Nobody ever heard of him until a few months ago. And what's that about our boys risking life and limb for us? They are ALL mercenaries who are there for the money, for the "stuff" be it 20K for enlisting, the GI Bill, for the king who has no brain, for a mythical jesus or because of their utter confusion and stupidity having bought into the fantasy of the american dream. Wake up america. Rome fell for the very same reasons we are. Socrates said the gods have given us two boons in order to live the life of the good, the true and the beautiful: A sense of shame and a sense of justice. We have neither. Who out there is ashamed of what we are doing? I sure am.

    ASHAMED TO BE AN AMERICAN

  • The Sun

    The Sun might be a right-wing rag, but it is a right-wing rag with a really, really good crossword. Its quality is on par with the NY Times puzzle. And, unlike the Times, the Sun offers its crossword online free of charge.

    Prescription for hapiness: Visit the Sun site. Read nothing. Do the crossword. Leave the Sun site.

  • Rather telling ...

    > Obscure third world women who do things in far way countries you don't care about.

    Rather telling, I think, that you've singled out third world women, rather than third world men.

    Women like the courageous Shirin Ebadi (2003), an Iranian who has crusaded for the rights of women and children right in the heart of an Islamic revolutionary society.

    Women like Aung San Suu Kyi (1991), whose non-violent struggle against the brutal Myanmar regime continues to this day.

    Women like Mother Teresa, who dedicated her life to the service of the poor and forgotten.

    These women carried out their work at great personal risk. You posted anonymously. For whatever it's worth, most decent people care about human conditions everywhere, not just in the powerful, prosperous nations.

    Perhaps your world is a little flatter than the rest of ours.
