Should Aung Sang Su Kyi's Nobel Peace Prize be revoked?

[Le Gaucher]

She slept with the devil to secure her freedom and is now stating that reports coming out of Myanmar as misinformation.

While lots of asshole have gotten the prize ..none have been in position of power while persecuting a minority.

1. Slept with the Devil? Surely not.

Kissinger, other Peace Prize winners who went on to commit acts of war?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. There's no process for doing so -- which doesn't mean one shouldn't be developed.

But the international community should definitely put pressure on her.

3. didn't obama get one? trump would seek to get that undone

be careful what you wish for

6. Trump Haas no power over that

[dembotoz]

10. that would imply he is without influence

he has gone after stuff before

[ansible]

4. It's a lot, lot more complicated than that

Buddhism and islam have had a history of conflict for over 1000 years. Why did so many people buy into the idea that buddhists are peaceful?

5. That fucker is pure evil

[Coventina]

7. When ANY religion becomes the "official" or culturally dominant religion

it tends toward corruption.

Buddhism preaches peace, just as does Islam and Christianity. When they are the ones in power, not so much.

[bigtree]

8. they don't revoke Nobel Peace prizes

[JI7]

9. Focus should be on actually helping the people

They don't take away nobels but even if they did it might make people feel better but won't help those who are being attacked and killed.
