But some will. If lots of people watch what you do, an know your name..you're famous. And Celebrity is Currency.

Most people wouldn't do what Howard Stern does. But Howard does. And enough people love him or hate him to watch him, or listen to him.

Do you read the Enquirer? I don't. But enough people do, that it makes money.

Everyone justifies whatever they do.

And Rodman? He may be crazy, but not more crazy that most people I know.
He just gets taped when he's crazy.

No, I don't read the Enquirer. When I read, I choose subjects that will stimulate my brain.

By the way, I didn't watch the video either.

As far as Rodman, he is crazy and he needs to watch his p's and q's lest he end up with the same fate as Kim Jung's uncle. Maybe stupid would be a better word. :rolleyes: Everyone with just a bit of common sense understands that when you play with fire, you will get burnt.

This has nothing to do with communists nor politics. It has to do with a murderous mad man.

I'm quite confident that if my bf or hubby became a communist, I would sing happy birthday to them, no problem.

However, Kin Jung murdered his own family member! I'm sure if he had no qualms murdering his own bloodline, he wouldn't have a qualm at all with murdering me! All I was saying is that Rodman, because of that fact, is playing with fire.

I thought my post made that quite evident and would be easily comprehended.

Pardon my ignorance on the subject.

But my point stands, a family member, anyway. I don't treat my blood family any differently than my in-laws or by marriage relatives. Family is family.

I haven't a clue if Jung feels the same or not, but anyone who would murder a family member is unstable to my way of thinking and should be avoided at all costs. And if the uncle had no bloodline in common with Kim, well, guess what? Neither does Rodman.

Anyway, it's just like if someone were threatening suicide waving a pistol or rifle around. I think that if they don't have a problem killing themselves, they certainly wouldn't have one killing me, so I'll just stay away...

But what kind of communists would he be if he did not advocate for dictatorship of the proletariat?

He would be no communist, rather a state capitalist or a Khrushchev revisionist.

You are completely missing the point. I'm not sure that you will ever get it and quite frankly, that is frightenig to me.

Saddam Hussein has absolutely nothing to do with Dennis Rodman which by the way is the one who we are discussing. Him and his friendship with Kim Jung.

By the way, communism is a way of organizing a society in which the government owns the things that are used to make and transport products (such as land, oil, factories, ships, etc.) and there is no privately owned property, according to Merriam Webster.

As you can plainly see, it has nothing to do with the heinous murdering of innocent people on a whim.

"In his lecture at Changsha, Russell .... took a position in favour of communism but against the dictatorship of the workers and peasants. He said that one should employ the method of education to change the consciousness of the propertied classes, and that in this way it would not be necessary to limit freedom or to have recourse to war and bloody revolution.... My objections to Russell's view point can be stated in a few words: 'This is all very well as a theory, but it is unfeasible in practice' ....

If we use peaceful means to attain the goal of communism, when will we finally achieve it? Let us assume that a century will be required, a century marked by the unceasing groans of the proletariat. What position shall we adopt in the face of this situation? The proletariat is many times more numerous than the bourgeoisie; if we assume that the proletariat constitutes two-thirds of humanity, then one billion of the earth's one billion five hundred million inhabitants are proletarians (I fear that the figure is even higher), who during this century will be cruelly exploited by the remaining third of capitalists.

You're right, he's counting his money because he's been having financial problems for a long time. He owes over 800,000 in child support, not to mention the other problems he's been having.

I'm sure he didn't go to N. Korea for free.

Rodman lost all sense of reality a long time ago; his latest antics are nothing new, it's just now there's more media coverage because North Korea's Leader is a murdering psycho and Rodman is calling this man "my best friend."

I don't hate Rodman, I actually feel sorry for him for being such a moron and not being aware of it.

We're not misjudging anything. The reality is that the North Korean leader is a power hungry man just like his father and his father before him. People seem to forget that there are real concentration camps in that country where people are being executed and tortured. We know this because every one who has escape from those camps have the exact same stories

You cannot reason with people like him, opening any kind of diplomatic communications might make some people warm and fuzzy inside, but it does not change the fact that this man is a monster, and Rodman, who has no marketability anymore, is calling this monster his "friend".

It's pathetic.

I'm not saying this sh*t Rodman is doing is the same as what happened through the previously mentioned ping pong "diplomacy", but one thing is clear, Chairman Mao had a worse human rights record than this "leader". Under Mao most estimate tens of millions were killed! Here's one estimate that has him as the all time leader in murders by a dictator at 78 million!

Tim, I think most Chinese people would disagree that Mao was as evil as Hitler or Stalin. Most of deaths attributed to him were due to famine that arose because of misguided policies, rather than deliberate killing as ordered by Hitler or Stalin.

That was dreamed up and implemented by Heinrich Himmler, not Hitler.

OK, OK, Hitler was ultimately responsible as it happened "on his watch", but all the atrocities attributed to him were actually planned and executed (no pun intended) by his henchmen. He himself never gave any of the orders that led to The Holocaust.

And before anyone responds, I am not defending him, just clearing things up from a factual historic perspective.

I've heard that said many times before. In fact, when you look at what Josef Mengele did, well, you couldn't even make it up, let alone think it up as an order or policy.

EDIT. For the record I'm not saying Hitler is innocent or that he didn't order the deaths, I'm just saying, having read extensively about Mengele, I can't believe anyone ordered him to do what he did, it was his rather sick mind that came up with it...and I could well be wrong on that too.

This is something we will never know. All modern dictators do their best to leave no record of their murderous orders in case it comes back to them in future. There is a similar situation with Hirohito where we will never know exactly what role he played in the war. Out of the Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, I would put Stalin at the top as most of his murderous deeds were directed on purpose at his own countrymen.

  Actually, the book was called "Mein Kampf" and it means "My Fight".
  
  Mein Kauf means "My Purchase" or loosely "My Shopping" which is more appropriate for this forum...but alas, wrong.

Derek, your post led me to go read about Mao this morning and what I found was that although many of the deaths attributed to him came from the terrible famine, that still leaves millions more who were deliberately killed.

Also, some attribute much of the famine deaths to him directly because they say he was well aware that many were starving and yet still directly ordered the central government to take up to approximately 1/3 of the grain from the farmers, much more than had ever been the case. A quote from him at the time of this order:

"When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill."

Some claim that not only did Mao know the extent of the starvation early on, he steered the starvation towards those who were perceived to be his enemies. China also sold this grain at the time to the USSR, exports increased by 50% and they actually gave it away to other communist countries such as Vietnam, North Korea and Albania.

Wow, I can't believe you wrote that. It's not about politics or being a communist. It's about letting your own people starve, torturing and killing them; things that Kim Jung Un has already done in his short tenure.

I hear you, though, I wasn't making that point.

I will acknowledge that Rodman and his players going out there to build some rapport is not necessarily a good or bad thing, because only time will tell if it was or not. Heck, I'll go far as to say it might be a good thing.

I'm talking about him calling that man his "best friend" and the way he lost his temper when the CNN report asked him a fair and reasonable question. If he had half a brain he would keep that information to himself. I still believe there are financial motives behind this visit because Kim Jun Un has the means to reward him in many ways, aside from financially.

Anyways, I've had enough of this topic. Back to my marketing stuff.

Stole my thunder, Kay. So here's the lightning to go with it -- if people just clicked off anything with the name Rodman in it, soon nobody would know about him and the publicity he's pulling in would not exist. Complicity in the Share is what is getting him the big bucks.

That's what I do. Just turn it off. I wouldn't think of sharing this story - let it die in silence.

Here are a two anagrams of "Dennis Rodman" I found years ago:

- Demon innards
- Inner man's odd

Sometimes those darn anagrams are a fair representation of the subject.

OK, I was thinking maybe Dennis Rodman is a great singer and what better way to make waves and get international exposure than to sing Happy Birthday to Kim Jung Un? After all, Idi Amin and Pol Pot are no longer with us. But he sings in mono-tone and seems to be genuinely tone-deaf.
