Carson Confirms He Believes Pyramids Were Built To Store Grain

Dr. Ben Carson on Wednesday night confirmed his belief that the pyramids in Egypt were built for grain storage by Joseph, the Biblical figure who helped the Egyptians survive famine, even though archaeologists have concluded that the pyramids were built as tombs for the pharaohs.
"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain," Carson said in a 1998 speech surfaced by Buzzfeed News on Wednesday. "Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain."
In his 1998 speech, Carson also dismissed the theory that aliens helped construct the pyramids because "it doesn’t require an alien being when God is with you."
When asked if he stands by his 1998 comments by CBS News on Wednesday night, Carson said, "It's still my belief, yes."
The retired neurosurgeon said that "the pyramids were made in a way that they had hermetically sealed compartments."
"You would need that if you were trying to preserve grain for a long period of time," he said.

You're all wrong. The pyramids were giant breweries. There used to be a giant neon sign on the biggest one that said CHEAP EGYPTIAN BEERS & CIGARETTES

I guess you'll deny this irrefutable proof that archeologists uncovered almost 100 years ago but is only known to those of us in a certain secret society...

More importantly if Ben is on TV talking shit he is not operating and so saving patients who would otherwise be fucked up by his shitty medical skillz.

Well I guess that explains why he "retired" from medicine at a relatively young age. Probably couldn't get malpractice insurance anymore.

Yeah apparently many clinicians in the US will get one or two malpractice claims over a career the vast majority of which are rejected.
He's in one in a thousand level.
No surprise there.
Tony Blair hid it for years but eventually came out as someone that prefers to believe things rather than know them. These are the most dangerous people in the world and super egoists. The arrogance of someone that can choose to believe something disregarding hundreds of experts and evidence is not only frightening, it really pisses me off. Imagine someone like that after a few years wielding massive amounts of power?

Just be glad I'm not president. I'd launch a missile the second they gave me the football. Woops...bye bye Saudi Arabia...Or maybe I'd just invade Cuba. I'd dress in a wacky general's outfit and make all kinds of nonsensical speeches and have the White House and grounds remodeled to look like the mansion in The Jerk.

I don't think Carson is actually the Republican front runner but he's an easier target than most of the others for ridicule. If the liberal media gets more dirt on Trump he'd suddenly become the front runner. Unless some Jeb Bush dirt suddenly appears. Then he'll be front runner.

If the liberal media
Why don't you just say "if all the media except for Fox News"?
That's basically what you mean, right? Because if a certain media outlet doesn't spew the nonsense that Fox does, it therefore qualifies as "the liberal media", right?
FAUX Noize pretty much invented the idea of this clueless imbecile Carson as a "presidential candidate". He was allegedly good at brain surgery, and now, with all the malpractice suits against him, even THAT apparently wasn't true. And every thing else the man has ever said was apparently either a lie or a clueless rant. By comparison, Carson even makes Trump look like a competent candidate. And that's probably the reason FAUX continues to prop him up.

Shit, at least Herman Cain had a plan for something. Yeah it was that fucked up "999" bullshit, but at least he had one.
What the fuck is Carson's plan? Is he going to turn the Luxor casino in Vegas into a giant bakery?

Godfather's Pizza was kick ass back in the day, in the 80s. It was the first restaurant in the next town over to serve beer. I'm not a Pizza Snob who wants free range pig scrotum or whatever you fags eat on your gourmet pizza. I want some damn sauce, just a little extra please, mozarella cheese, ham - woops, that's a big no no these days but fuck all the people who are against ham - onions, green peppers, mushrooms - and no not some dirty looking butthole version of a portabella mushroom, just some damn mushrooms - black olives and more HAM - Canadian bacon is fine too.
Back in the late 80s, Little Caesars used to have great pizza - again, you gourmet weirdos won't agree but you probably only eat spinach and some sort of cream jizz on yours so you don't count anyway. The local ones here had fresh veggies and the onions were diced up really small. Damn it was good.
What were we talking about?

Used to eat Godfather's Pizza all the time. They changed somethiing in the recipe around the mid 90s, and it wasn't any good after that. Turns out that's right about the time Herman took over Coincidence? Who knows, but all the local ones dried up and died shortly after that. Only one in this state that I'm aware of is located within the Ft. Lewis military base, so I couldn't eat there if I wanted to.
As for Little Caesars, I gave up on them back in 1989. Came home from work and the girlfriend was waiting with weed, beer and pizza, so it was a good night..... but the leftover pizza for breakfast was just godawful.
If you can't eat pizza cold, it's really not worth a shit. Never touched Little Caesar's again

I had a Godfathers pizza once when they first came here in the late 90s - it was really shit.
Fast food franchises are the great Achilles heal of the capitalist system.
If capitalism worked properly then out of all the tens of thousands of fast food places those that rose to the top worldwide franchises would be the absolute best affordable food out there.
MacDonalds, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Burger King (shitty shitty fries), Taco Bell are all massive arguments for an end to the way the world currently works. :D
I would add some coffee franchises too but I don't ever use them.

Over the years I must have spent about $500 on Dominoes just because of the convenience of the delivery especially to hotels and so on.
That really pisses me off the more I think about it. Each one of those pizzas must have had a 98% mark up on it and they are just shit compared to almost any independent place. They are worse than most $2 supermarket frozen. I haven't bought one for a few years now after finally getting a fucking grip of myself. That and Al Gore's internet allows more choice in a pizza emergency now. :)

If that's what I meant I would have said that. I don't think Fox is any more or less truthful than any of the other news outlets they just lean slighty more in the opposite direction.

I don't watch Fox news Miss Whineybutt. I rarely watch TV at all. I get my political news from Ford and just assumes whatever he posts is a lie. 99% of the time it is.
