Seeing a lot of this lately.   :(

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of those of low ability to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their ability accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: high-ability individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others."

That site looks to have quite a bit of male bovine fecal matter in its stories. Just enough real stuff mixed in to make the fecal matter ones seem plausible. Anyway, there is an entry on snopes that I ran across while trying to find another site that might corroborate the story:

As a point of accuracy, the term "thug" has no racial connotations and has been used on TV dramas such as "Dragnet" to describe criminals for many years.

If Ben Carson and Hillary were in a picture together, and the caption asked which one is the thug, what would be the most prominent answer?

Or write about guns. "Load the bullets back"... sheesh.

Depends upon who you are asking.  And you would probably get the same results by asking who is the lying sack of shit.

Ben Carson doesn't have fifty-something suspicious dead bodies in his wake.

We are Americans.  We know how to safely shoot guns.  Is there a class required in the Constitution?  To keep and bear arms with a class?

Ever hear of NATURAL RIGHTS?

Thought about this.  The guy is not a candidate.  He is a selectee.
