Jingthing Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Rodman heads to North Korea for basketball visit And?????????????? Rodman is quite controversial. As Sarah Palin might say , he's palling around with a vicious dictator. I get the purpose of diplomacy but can't see actually befriending Kim Jong-un.

Popular Post tingtongteesood Posted December 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2013 I say before what I said the second time he went and all your silly comments were abusive towards him. Watch the last episode of documentary series Vice where Rodman made his first trip to North Korea with the Harlem Globetrotters, see what they accomplished through that trip. Sports can break down barriers and build bridges. I applaud Rodman for his efforts to use his status as a bridge between the 2 countries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it just some weird sex thing and he is doing dear "little" leader's wife . . . Candidly, there is nothing to bridge with North Korea. Don't want them or need them and definitely don't want to give them any more money. Just let them run themselves into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donnie Brasco Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Thai Visa pundits keeping up with current events. Somebody else was on about Sunday's Suthep Fan Club rally showing little regard for Christmas shoppers. When reminded that this was a Buddhist society, the poster accused his critic of intellectual vanity Ignoramus then ran on for five forum pages about how he'd been right to say what he'd said. I could go on but I've been banned and I really can't be bothered to get back into this crock of nitwits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langsuan Man Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Maybe this time they will keep Rodman in the workers paradise and he can see first hand what it is like to live there What I don't understand is why he is allowed to go at all, considering that we (the US, UN, and South Korea) are technically still at war with North Korea I remember a time when my US passport specifically forbade travel to North Korea and Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Korea is just a little miffed that the US has tens of thousands of combat troops on its borders . . . the borders which are about 10.000km away from the US . . . not to mention the US navy patrolling adjacent waters, bombers etc . . . I'm sure you would applaud that fact and think nothing of it . . . kind of like Iran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
