Nobel peace prize

[Visser]

Just read that even the guy who invented the internet has got one, well deserved I'm sure.

The eugenicist Margaret Sanger was nominated 31 times.

In 1921 she wrote, "the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.”

I believe those liberal Swede types compulsorily sterilised theirs.

No he hasn’t.

It’s pretty easy to question the sources of the shit you read on the internet. Lists of winners are easy to find.

As the Trump nomination shows, anyone can be nominated for the prize by any politician for all kinds of reasons. Having a person like Sanger nominated repeatedly isn’t a damning of the prize, its a damning of the people who nominate her.

Unfortunately, that problem still hasn't been solved yet. If anyone ever does, they might actually get the prize, not just nominations.

Who is that fapsara? It doesn’t look like Berners Lee to me.

Berners Lee won the Turing Award which is known as the Nobel Prize for Computing.

And noone remotely involved in the creation of the internet has won the Nobel Peace prize.

It's Rajendra K. Pachauri.

I guess you completely missed the Gore/Bush Jr election cycle?

The Internet wasn't invented by Tim Berners-Lee. It was invented by Al Gore.

That's why the internet uses algorithms and not timbernersleeithms.
