I dunno why people gloat when someone dies of old age after a long life. That's pretty much the best any of us can hope for.

If there were justice Kissinger would be dissolved in napalm.

My only regret was not being able to purchase a realistic date on the Henry Kissinger death pool.

We did it Lemmy!

In a just universe, Henry Kissinger would be dead. Henry Kissinger is proof that a) God hates us and wants us to suffer or b) There is no god and the universe is a dark and cold indifferent place.

Considering they gave him the nobel peace prize I have to assume there is someone out there that really hates us.

The Nobel prize is a joke. They gave Europe the prize for going several years without burning down the whole world. They gave it to Obama for being black.

They gave the chemistry prize to a chemical weapons guy, the medicine prize to the guy who invented the lobotomy.

People Magazine's "sexiest man alive" has more credibility because at least all the winners were good looking.

The Nobel peace prize is a joke...

The others are still usually pretty cool...

Economics is 50/50 too. It's not in the OG set of prizes and the science is hit and miss as well.

But yeah, physics, chemistry, medicine are all prizes that highlight game changing discoveries.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

Economics is just a shit prize, it devalues the rest of the prizes, and should never been allowed to be awarded among the others.

The litterature prize started as a good idea, but these days it has lost a lot of presteige, just looks back at when Bob Dylan was forced to get the prize.

He didn't want the prize, but the organizers still awarded him the prize, looking like a weirdly obsessive fan club.

There isn't a Nobel prize for economics, at least not really. The swedish central bank made their own price, to be awarded by the Nobel foundation

Didn't they give it to the chemistry guy because he solved world hunger and not because of the weapons? There was an episode about him on Veritasium.

Obama got the peace prize as well.

Blowing children up with drones apparently qualifies you.

[–] Cranakis@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago

A strong argument to your point: Kissinger dies at 100. Frank Zappa, 52. I think there is no god but can't rule out a.

or this is hell

Holy crap you did it. Be very careful how you use your powers.

Man, the guy has caused so many deaths and injuries, he probably deserves the Fields medal on top of his Nobel Peace Prize (he didn't get one in chemistry for his researchs on napalm, what a sad little world)

[–] WetBeardHairs@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

He's fucking dead!

[–] Dubois_arache@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He might be the very reason that phrase was invented, considering how many innocent young lives he took.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Finally we can start counting up on that chart. Rest in piss (and worse) Henry.

It's funny to use a Simpsons meme for this because in one episode, Homer finds Henry Kissinger's glasses in the power plant toilet.

Ask the unearthly powers he did the deal with.

Bastard needs a soap bar placed on top of his head and drown.

Burns almost dies when Mr Smithers places a soap on his head while taking a bath. Episode Burns' Heir.

Why is he kissing her? Are they in love?

Alright who is next?
