What's this? The Peace prize going to someone who actually deserves it? This is astounding.

I'm actually surprised that the Nobel Peace Prize was actually given to people who deserved it rather than people who just bought it so they could look big. And who better to give the prize to someone like Malala Yousafzai, a person who stood up for women's rights in counties where women are essentially treated like dirt. I am very surprised with this.
