Malala wins the Peace Prize

[Zanza]

The UN has lots of specialized agencies that are quite relevant in their particular fields. It is more than the ineffectual security council.

Kid's got a bright future, I think.

I dunno,  even with the Nobel, Harvard's going to have a problem with a lack of extracurricular activities.

Very true, but specialized agencies quietly doing things that are important don't make for a convenient scapegoat or target of mockery and so is not interesting to the general languish crowd.

Yeah. I'm all for bashing the UN when it is ineffective or the Nobel Peace Prize committee for giving it to unworthy people, but this time Malala really deserves it and is an inspiration, and the UN is doing a lot of worthy things not to deserve to be dismissed en bloc.

I find this type of snarky dismissive bitchiness pretty shitty.

Too many Bangladeshi blue helmets hiding in the Appalachians ready to swoop down and take derspiess's guns once Obama gives the word.

Now you can get it for social media presence?

This is a really shitty thing to say, viking.

Welcome back to Languish.

So which types of snarly dismissive bitchiness do you prefer?

This is a relative preference, obviously, but one that does not talk shit about a young intelligent woman who got shot in the face for her convictions would rank higher on my personal list.

So which types of snarly dismissive bitchiness do you prefer?   

I'm fond of the kind that's funny. I don't mind the kind that makes a worthwhile point or takes the piss out of someone who deserves it.

... that's all subjective, of course

I think the Nobel Peace Prize committee already made sure that we shouldn't give a damn about who it gives its prizes too, no matter how worthy.

The security council isn't completely useless, it's the General Assembly and Human Rights councils that re FUBAR.

I guess getting shot really worked out well for her.
