Ben Carson suffers from intermittent explosive disorder and oppositional defiance disorder these are both diagnosed as DSM 4 psychiatric disorders. The fact that he attacked his mother with a ball peen hammer and actually took four swings at her skull before his brother intervene is surely not a good sign for a man who wants to become the President of the United States. On the other hand maybe it is a good sign.
I don't know anything about that story but will look it up later.
However, this man is a neurosurgeon that is a creationist? What? I thought it was a joke when I read it. Just the other day I was watching him in a debate with Richard Dawkins about evolution. You couldn't make it up.
Ben Carson is currently in trouble for, at the very least, a moment in which he says he attempted to stab his friend. Here is video of that pivotal incident, as depicted in the Cuba Gooding Jr.-starring straight-to-TV adaptation of Carson’s memoir, Gifted Hands.Quote:

The interesting thing about the film’s portrayal of the stabbing is that it represents an extreme escalation of the story.
In Carson’s book, he says that he went to stab his friend Bob after Bob changed the dial on the radio they were listening to, but the blade of his knife struck Bob’s belt buckle and broke. In the movie, Carson’s character dramatically plunges his knife into Bob’s gut like something out of Oz.
In his 1990 autobiography, "Gifted Hands: describes those acts as flowing from an uncontrollable "pathological temper." includesQuote:

4. thrusting a knife at the belly of his friend with such force that the blade luckily snapped when it struck a belt buckle covered by the boy's clothes.

We know per Carson's own words that his "pathological temper." was limited to black folks as he stated in his book his temper flaired accept when white kids called him a racial slur and once whacked him with a stick.
He stated:
"I looked down at my feet, too scared to answer, too frightened to run,"
So I guess if he becomes president, we know he would stand up to a Kofi Anan type leader, but a Putin? After a stick whacking, he'll check the shine on his shoes...or the blood that drippeth down.
Didn't see the movie. So during the scene, what music was playing? Wasn't this like 1969 or something? Couldn't have been "bitch betta have my money" Or Fuck the Police by NWA.Quote:

How many radio stations did they have to choose from? Gospel to R&B?
So ben wanted to listen to James Brown or didn't want to listen to James Brown?O0
