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.

Napalm? Really?

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

Take that Reddit! Our "We did it ..." moments get the right person!

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.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Obama got the peace prize as well.

Blowing children up with drones apparently qualifies you.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

or this is hell

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago

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

[–] jballs 38 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Was this just dumb luck? Or was it in the news that he was on his death bed?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I was forewarned by the ghost of a Cambodian child that was murdered by Henry Kissinger.

Hey, could you write "Donald Trump Sr." in your Death Note next?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No need to be specific; Sr, Jr both would do. World would be thankful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

When writing it in the note you’re supposed to picture their face, which would already mean a suffix is unnecessary

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think I was not clear, my comment wasn't about grammar but was meant to say it doesn't matter if Donald Trump Jr or Sr is taken. Therefore no need to be specific. I hope this clear it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I understood you meant it doesn’t matter, I’m just being a nerd about the functional behavior of the Death Note itself. Just that the result wouldn’t be random, but chosen by the writer.

[–] jballs 1 points 8 months ago

Makes sense.

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)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

He's fucking dead!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

"No one must know I dropped zem in ze toilet. Not I, ze man who drafted ze Paris peace accord."

[–] admin 2 points 8 months ago

I read this with Homer voice in my head.

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.
