Provide example...

There is nothing to give an example of. If you can't understand what an effect in the real world is, then I feel REAL sorry for you!

Seems like you make up your own rules as to what can be proven or not.

How else can you prove something exists outside of an effect in the real world? If something exists and you can't see, touch, or measure it in any way then evidence for it would be the same as evidence for something that does not exist. It's not as hard to understand you you are trying to make it.

Also EVERY word is made up. The understanding of the words we use however is simply based on an agreement of how to use those words. For me, to prove something you have to demonstrate it in some way, it has to be demonstrable! Otherwise you are wasting my time with possibilities and not probabilities.

As a side note, and to see where the argument is coming from, how would you demonstrate something actually exists?

Let me try to make this as simple as I can for you, since you seem to have a comprehension issue.

I will use one example. Billions of people across the world believe in God, although there is no empirical proof that God exists. Using what seems to be your logic, those billions of people are wrong in believing in something that cannot be proven.

Seems convoluted.

Ok, I thought the incident you were talking about had to do with the Knutson case.

And no, what happened here is not a "cover up".

So, destroying a memory card, hiding the fact that you did, and your superior officer aiding in that situation, is not considered a cover-up? Tell me, what does constitute a cover up in the eyes of a police officer?

You have one officer on the scene destroying a memory card, and his sergeant knowing about but not reporting the situation. Very poor decisions worthy of the punishment they are receiving, but not a "cover up" in the popular sense, especially as it relates to the Franklin case, for instance. That requires A LOT more.

To me that constitutes a cover up. If you want to minimize it, well nothing said here will change your mind.

In any case this all seems very off topic from the original post.

Wait, what? Who is minimizing anything? I'm pretty sure the post of mine right above yours says that the offense was worthy of losing their careers over.

As for what constitutes a cover up, guess that's a matter of opinion. If you spill some milk on the floor and clean it up so no one finds out, you've engaged in a cover up in the most technical sense. Again, in the popular sense (and in the sense being discussed in this thread) you'd need more than two people who were immediately involved in the situation before you had a "cover up".

Ok. Does anyone know if there is a large gay community around Omaha? Just had someone ask me, and I have no idea at all...
