I wouldn't hire somebody who publishes a picture named "obama-winning-the-nobel-proves-that-white-guilt-is-one-of-the-most-awesome-powers-on-earth.jpg" on his blog (although I'm open to interpretations of that filename).
- omouse 17y agoI would def hire someone like that. He'd be the comedy relief for the rest of the team as we make our way through various crazy adventurous situations :D
- jacoblyles 17y agoIs it because he thinks that Obama didn't deserve the peace prize, or because he thinks that white racial guilt is a factor in the President's incredible popularity? I guess this is another example of why keeping your political opinions to yourself if you disagree with the majority is good for your career.
- rimantas 17y agoSomehow I doubt norwegians would have any of that white guilt.
- jacoblyles 17y agoI'm not arguing for the guy's point. I just don't think politics should be taken too personally.
- xtho 17y agoSwedes.
- MaysonL 17y agoActually, the commitee is five Norwegians, age 58-68, all members or former members of the Storting (Norwegian parliament). One man, the chairman, four women.

- oink 17y agoWhy does that matter? It's just politics and bullshit, a bit OT I guess.
- xtho 17y agoIMHO this isn't about politics. Political issues include: strategies in foreign policy, the introduction of new taxes, the reform of the health system etc. I wouldn't care if somebody posted commentaries pro/contra this or that position. A political statement doesn't refer to the opponents race, gender etc. though.
- jacoblyles 17y agoDo you think that the Obama phenomenon has nothing to do with race?
