    Well done, Dennis Rodman, imo.

    Got the Norks to come to the negotiating table
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    One of the more amusing/bizarre news stories of the past 20 years or so.

    6'8" cross dressing, African American, former basketball player likes to party with psychotic, genocidal North Korean dictator.

    Nice.

    Is he genocidal? Or does he just kill a lot of people?

    Yes, whilst he is clearly a bit of a murdering type, describing him as 'genocidal' is a bit hyperbolic.

    Don't believe the hype, as it were.

    Looked to me like he was exaggerating. For effect.

    And doesn't the term also make an issue of exactly whom one kills, rather the mere fact of the killing itself?

    Yes. But even then it's not necessarily genocide. I remember once having a long and dull argument with j because he accused the US of genocide by dropping atom bombs on Johnny Japanese. In that instance, the fact that the overwhelming majority of victims were hissing nips didn't make it genocide because the enemy's ethnicity was irrelevant to his status as a military foe who needed to be defeated by any means necessary.
