Who's your favorite Noble Prize Winner?

They forgot mention the reason Nobel set this up in the first place. Because he felt guilty for the countless deaths he was responsible for. And wanted to be remembered for something good. Maybe they left that out intentionally but this is how history is rewritten with incorrect facts

Is it weird that I want a 10 hour video for this song

The nobel committee for peace should consider awarding commemoration for individuals or organisations for the prize if they fulfill the following conditions.
.1. If asked, if you do not know say I do not know.
2. If I have made a mistake ADMIT that I have made the mistake.
3. If I needed help ASK FOR HELP.
That is IS THE TRUE MEANING OF PEACE.
Many are invited few are chosen.
NONE FULFILLS THE CRITERIA.

I find your videos alsways a little hard to watch since I must pay all my attention on reading the frequently changing text. Would really appreciate it if you had a speaker to read it out.

You should say what Alfred Nobel did for a living

[zrapboy]

I will have a Nobel prize in the future.

[RandomHuman]

My question is, where does the money for award come from now?

[mojokuku]

It's a award given to people sometimes for political reasons when they are often not or less than deserving. I lost all respect for the Nobel Prize...

[giobugtong_]

Thanks. I was thinking about the Nobel Prize earlier today.

[dancelife]

how come Ben Carson doesn't have one? It seems like this is mostly political though..most of the people that have it  are just good speakers and not smart or intelligent to me

[maggyfrog]

too bad the peace prize doesn't mean anything anymore.

[hitmebabyonemoretime]

Taylor Swift deserve one for dominating music history

[zuluzulu]

this man, a merchant of death, only wanted to clean his conscience after his terrible contribution to humanity and sadly it worked, now he is remebered for his
