Is the Pillsbury dough boy named after those in WWII they called Dough Boy? How did Dough Boy name come to be?
The Pilsbury dough boy is a ball of dough. There's no relate between the Pilsbury doughboy and the WW I infantry soldier. For the WWI infantry soldier (from wikipedia): The origin of the term is unclear. The most commonly held explanation is that it came into use in the Civil War in reference to the dumpling-shaped buttons on the Union soldiers' jackets. Others claim that it goes back to the Mexican-American War or originated from an early form of the doughnut, called the doughboy. Another explanation of the term stems from the time of the Punitive Expedition against Pancho Villa in 1916, in which the infantry were constantly covered with dust from marching through the dry terrain of northern Mexico, giving them the appearance of unbaked dough. Other explanations point to the use of pipe clay, which looks like dough, to clean infantrymen’s white belts; another is that it is a corruption of "adobe boy" from the adobe bricks used to house infantrymen in the pre-Civil War Southwest; and yet another that it refers to the "soft" condition of the young soldiers, applied by British and French forces in World War I who had already fought nearly four years. None of these theories are definite. "Doughboy" became most popular during World War I, since the American Expeditionary Force was led by General John J. Pershing, who had been a commander of the Mexican expedition. The helmet worn by Americans in combat was called the Doughboy helmet, even though it was the Brodie helmet design used by the British army. At first, the term applied to only the infantry, but soon extended to the entire American contingent. The term fell into disuse and was replaced by the appellation G.I. in World War II. By then, doughboy had taken on a corny, old-fashioned tone for many GI's, as in the 1942 song Johnny Doughboy found a Rose in Ireland. It dropped out of popular use, and is now of historic interest only.
What are some good responses to being called a "libtard", or a "whiny liberal" when criticizing Trump?
With a firm, but kind, refusal to engage in their logical fallacy.You should point out that the descent to ad hominem attack is a common refuge for the intellectually challenged. I would respectfully ask why they would choose to insult you rather than asserting substantive claims of deficiencies in your argument.Obviously, if the insulting blather continues, the correct course of action is to politely tell them that you choose to not allow others to speak to you that way and invite them to resume the conversation after they calm down and are willing to have a conversation on the merits of the issue at hand. The critical thing when dealing with rhetorical excesses and personal attacks that are all too common coming from both the left and right in modern American political “discourse”, is to avoid responding in kind.If we all work together to learn to disagree in a mature manner, perhaps we can learn how to be effective in our self-governance.
Why doesn't South Korea surrender to North Korea to promote unification? Why is or isn’t this a good idea?
I lived with a Korean family in in Seoul in 1967. The scars of the war were still evident, there were rifle-carrying officers on every intersection, beggars in the street and my hosts told me this:South Koreans tried to ‘surrender’ to North Korea in 1950 and elect the hero who led Korea’s resistance to the Japanese occupation, a man named Kim Il Sung.America invaded Korea to prevent Mr. Kim’s election, recalled a puppet leader who had fled when the Japanese invaded and, when the North tried to reunify the country by force, fire bombed almost every building in north and south Korea that that had survived the Japanese and, in the process killed millions of civilians. Video: HD Stock Footage Korean War - One Year in Korea. This is what South Korea looked like after America stopped bombing:When the people resisted the U.S. puppet government, the government massacred hundreds of thousands of them.[This scenario was repeated in Vietnam 20 years later except that the North Vietnamese resistance leader, Ho Chi Minh, reunited the country by force and drove out the Americans. Vietnam took 25 years to recover from American fire-bombing, spraying with millions of gallons of dioxin, dropping more bombs than WWII and leaving landmines that still kill and maim children today].In a free and fair election today – with free and balanced media – South Koreans would probably elect Mr. Kim’s grandson to senior office, possibly the Presidency. His dynasty (all Koreans adore dynasties: their current President is the granddaughter of a former military dictator) has survived in the face of American persecution and occupation (all Koreans admire survivors) developed powerful weapons (Koreans like powerful weapons) and kept the flame of Korean independence alight (Koreans love national independence).Of course, we cannot know if my prediction would come true because we cannot know the opinion of the people of occupied South Korea. If any South Korean published what I’ve written here, even in a private diary, she would be arrested and jailed immediately. She could, of course, publish it freely in the North.If this account of the war seems unfamiliar, you can verify it by reading what America’s leaders said and did about it at the time: The Hidden History of the Korean War, 1950-1951: A Nonconformist History of Our Times: I. F. Stone: 9780316817707: Amazon.com: Books. After I read it I began to believe what my hosts in Seoul told me in 1967.
What brand is the big white puffy guy for? The one with a bunch of rolls? Is it something with tires?
It's the Pillsbury Dough Boy and the Michelin Tire guy. They ought to get together and try Sumo-wrestling.
Why does Donald Trump stir up so many emotions?
Donald Trump is first and foremost a salesman/ conman. His rhetoric style is to simultaneously smooth and inflame- like those idiotic late night infotainment commercials where they show someone mopping a floor in the stupidest possible way, then offering their product as a solution. (By the way, people buy those mops).He is the opposite of a diplomat, who will take sensitive issues and speak in a way to defuse tensions. DJT takes ANY issue, and fans the flame- he incites both sides- those who delight and agree with him, and those who detest and disagree with him. Most dangerously, I believe, this technique brings up emotion not only about the ‘issue’, but also about how the issue is presented and discussed- sides are drawn into the sand before any common ground can be found.I don’t think Trump has much investment in the real issue at hand, whatever the topic- he is focused on the attention he generates, the pragmatic support he generates, and the power and money he generates. It is all a transaction to him.Politically, success in this administration is to create discord and divisiveness- it doesn’t matter what the score is at the end of the game, its how roughly the game was played. And while the players are playing, and the fans are fighting, the box office is getting looted.Do you really think the people selling the mop on TV really truly care if your floor is clean? Once its bought, the transaction is done.
