SInce death is the ultimate punishment, HItler has served his *time*. THus we shall never speak his name again in association with the millions of deaths of human beings he caused through his leadership. Right? Hell no.
I don't have a duty to assume anything of the kind. Moreover you would be stupid if you did. Prison is about punishment, not rehabilitation. They come out worse, half the time.
The problem with this whole situation is that I can't verify it myself in the next couple of days. I do not have the skills or foundational knowledge. The problem with this whole thing is that these scientists are asking 99.9999% of the public to trust them,w e won't get you killed by a black hole. We can't tell if they are worthy of that much trust. Maybe their calculations are tinged by self interest or tinged by interest in the the possible scientific discovery.
The point is, most of us have no way of knowing, but black holes have a way of sounding scary. We may be ignorant, but we are definitely self serving.
Small minds act with the rudeness that you have displayed. Can you not be mature? Civil?
As far as empty philosophical positions. Maybe. Nevertheless, the idea of proof(e.g. mathematical) is not the same thing as empiricism. Scientists disconfirm hypothesis trying to take into account the probability of error. Logicians, or mathematicians prove things.
Possibly. At the same time he was hired over and over again because he got the job done. That is, the county hired him because he was right much more often than not. Confirmation bias doesn't easily explain that, I dont think.
Decades ago, the county used to hire my Grandfather to use divining rods to find pipes and electrical wires underground when they could find the original drafting maps.
He had a bit of success at it too.
Why? How? I do not know. He's is the best man I have ever known, and I trust him.
A rarely visiting cousin came over and made a Mii avatar on my Wii box. Subsequently, he died a violent flaming death in a car accident.
Irrationally perhaps, I feel like it is my solemn duty to keep 'him' alive on my Wii. Make backups of him. Transfer him to my friends' Wiis.

My mother was raised on a farm. Dirt. and more dirt. My mother has horrible and debilitating allergies. I counter your anecdotal with my anecdotal.
I welcome our future past overlords. Anyone wanna bet it will be sabotaged by the future, and not run right?
Every time I've visited hotair.com, it turns out to be an article written like an extreme right talking point site, as bad as Rush.
Wolfgang Werlé and Manfred Lauber are convicted murderers.. didn't you know? they're assho|es

Yeah Germany, bring it onto anonymous-ass!
Speculation: We haven't seen evidence of other species because of collider experiments keep killing off the smart ones.

I liked the funny moderation better. :)
Ya know.. I don't want any more goods and services. I have enough, thank you.
I was aware of the irony.
Finally a comment that has some substance to it.

Guy1: There are no bugs.
Guy2: Here is a bug. This falsifies (disproves) your statement.
Guy1 Hey! That's a pretty smart trick you have there... Say, how do you know that it is a bug?
Guy 2: It has six legs, an exoskeleton, etc. Its a bug.
Guy1: That seems reasonable...Say, what's the chance that it just looks like a bug, but it is really a hologram?
Guy2: I'd say less than one in ten-trillion.
Guy1: Them are betting odds! hmmm..But are those odds good enough to PROVE IT IS A BUG?
Guy2: ummm, don't be obtuse.
Guy1: No, seriously, this is it proven that this is a bug?
Guy2: Well.. um no.
Guy1: So how does this evidence that this is a bug *disprove* the statement: There are no bugs?
Guy2:
OK, you be Guy2. Fill in the blank, please, because I'm interested.
In the real world, scientists do not prove. They gather evidence. They test null hypothesis, and accept a certain probability of a wrong conclusion.
You can't disprove or prove anything. Science isn't in the business of proving. Science is in the business of collecting empirical evidence.

I've seen this kind of response so many times before ...
DOn't get me wworngg., Igh prugrum with VbA.
You know who installs the most crapware?"
Teenagers.
I know I am biological. I know I have emotions. I cannot change the truth of that statement.
There is ample evidence that suppressing emotions has negative health outcomes (mental and physical).
Therefore, it is rational to accept and embrace emotions, within some limit of course.
Under this view, keeping my cousins avatar is an expression of sentiment akin to keeping photographs. AND THAT IS OK.
