You do not have to say so. Your deliberate omission -- dare we say deliberate -- that circumstantial evidences can convict misled the readers into believing otherwise.
Of course there were. The debris field for one. Every piece of evidences, logical inferences from them, experience, and theories of natural laws, are legitimate admissions.
I already advised them it was not worth it.
Actual evidences?
Circumstantial evidences are actual evidences, just like direct evidences are also actual evidences.
The satellite did not 'go haywire'.
You said that it was not possible for any Shariah law to be imposed upon non-believers in the US. I countered that it can be -- through the US Congress. You said that it was wrong and that it had to be through a Constitutional amendment.
And my point was that we only have one piece of circumstantial evidence: that Joe (Chinese satellite) was near the Russian craft.
Audio, use your same logic, So if your sister saw me walked out of your mother's bedroom, I am unquestionably your father.
Impossible.
My father displays much more intelligence then you have displayed so far in any thread you posted in.
This will probably be the only conversation we will ever have due to the above reason.
One piece of circumstantial evidence? So now you are so desperate that you resort to redefining what is circumstantial evidence.Wrong again.
The claim was this this particular piece of evidence was proof enough. I explained that, with circumstantial evidence -- especially a weak one like this -- just one piece of evidence is not enough. You need additional evidence to corroborate your claim.
With direct evidence, a single piece of evidence can be sufficient for conviction, but not with circumstantial evidence.
You, in your perennial ignorance of all things not cut-and-paste, missed the whole point.
Once again, all your running round the barn boils down to the ONE piece of circumstantial evidence. It doesn't matter how many times you restate it, it won't create additional evidence where there is none.
The defendant entering the house is one piece of circumstantial evidence. The screaming is another, even though there is no recording of it. The defendant leaving the house is another. The bloody knife is another. If all of these can be logically tied together, the eyewitness testimony can be considered one aggregate piece of circumstantial evidence, from many discrete pieces....a witness who says that she saw the defendant enter a house, that she heard screaming, and that she saw the defendant leave with a bloody knife gives circumstantial evidence. It is the necessity for inference, and not the obviousness of a conclusion, that determines whether or not evidence is circumstantial.
Take note of the highlighted. It says 'predicted'. It means item 30670 was not tracked in real time. Unless directly observed, any of its orbital location can only be guessed at.NORAD Catalog Number: 30670
Min Range: 3.109 km
Relative Velocity: 9.676 km/s
TCA: 2013 Jan 22 07:56:51.629
Although the predicted distance would seem to preclude a collision, the fact that the close approach occurred within 10 seconds of the estimated change in orbit made it appear likely that this piece of FENGYUN 1C debris actually collided with BLITS.
When viewed from Earth, 3 km is essentially a close shave between objects in orbit. ISS astronauts had to take shelter at further distance than that.A conjunction is an apparent phenomenon caused by perspective only: there is no close physical approach in space between the two objects involved.
A leftover piece of an old Russian satellite forced six astronauts on the International Space Station to take shelter...
The piece of space junk was spotted too late to move the orbiting laboratory out of the way and flew as close as 6.8 miles (11 kilometers) when it zoomed by at about 2:38 a.m. EDT (0638 GMT), NASA officials said.
Visceral?In other words, you admit that you are just blowing hot air fueled by your visceral racist hatred of Chinese.
See above...Yes, You claimed that you have unearthed a host of "evidences" -- PLURAL. I demanded for you to prove what additional evidences (plural) you had uncovered, in addition to the ONE that we already know.
Answer: ZILCH
Of course it matters. Further, for a claimed 'man of science' you have a hilariously false understanding of 'function'.go haywire - Idioms - by the Free Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Rur. to go wrong; to malfunction; to break down.
Haywire means to stop functioning in the designed manner.
It doesn't matter what caused it to "stop functioning", the point is that it stopped functioning in the designed manner.
Why do you insist on exposing your pathetic grasp of English at every opportunity?
Absolutely I encouraged the readers to go there. They will see for themselves your false understanding and cowardice.Your entire revisionist bullshit can be ignored by simply reading the thread itself. Here's the link so people can read the whole thread for themselves and see your desperate flights of fancy around the world.

Bottom line: Despite the fact that I explained to you that US Constitutional safeguards preclude the need for individual state laws against religious laws, you kept insisting -- in your pathetic hatred of Muslims -- that Muslims could somehow impose such laws on US citizens.
For several pages, you kept making a fool of yourself blabbering about DUAL LEGAL SYSTEMS and whatnot. You kept comparing British and Pakistani laws, as if they have any relevance to the US model. Finally, when you got your as$ whooped ten ways to Sunday, you came up with a dumbas$ claim that the US Congress could enact religious laws.
That's when I informed you that even the Congress can't do jack as long as the Constitutional safeguards are in place, and that such safeguards will be VERY hard to neutralize. I told YOU how a Constitutional amendment works and why it is a prerequisite for any laws by Congress. Decades of Christian lawyers and lobbyists have failed to make a dent. Now, you are doing your usual pathetic cut-and-paste routine to convince people as if you know jack about US Constitutional law.
Just restrict yourself to cutting-and-pasting radar specs.
Every time you venture outside that narrow realm, you embarrass yourself.

Take note of the highlighted. It says 'predicted'. It means item 30670 was not tracked in real time. Unless directly observed, any of its orbital location can only be guessed at.
The fact that China's ASAT test created an orbital debris field is one piece of circumstantial evidence. The fact that said debris field can and are being periodically monitored is another piece of circumstantial evidence. Our knowledge of orbital sciences is another piece of circumstantial evidence. And so on...
Basically, we have a PhD with an impeccable technical background, [...] by some weak-@ss lawyerly arguments about circumstantial evidences.
Not once have I been noted for using anything remotely resembling a racist slur. Not even through implication or inference.
the implication here is that said out of control behavior is INTERNALLY COMPELLED such as a broken mechanical lever, or a malfunctioning electrical component.
So who is really looking pathetic now...???
Absolutely I encouraged the readers to go there.
Florida SB 58 is [...] about preventing government officials from using non-Constitutional sources as factors in any legal disputes,
You are still wrong about the US Constitution. Its amendments are not prerequisites but rather prophylactic against governmental oppression.
"boys" which is considered racist in US culture.
THAT was the question facing a federal appeals court in Atlanta, Georgia, which struck down a $1.3m award to a black employee of Tyson Foods. The employee, John Hithon, applied for a promotion. The boss, Tom Hatley, instead brought in two white outsiders, saying that the money-losing plant needed new blood. Mr Hithon sued, saying that Mr Hatley's use of "boy" to him proved racial animus, and was awarded $1.75m. An appeals court overturned the ruling. The federal Supreme Court then sent the case back to trial, saying
The case was then re-tried, and two witnesses (including Mr Hithon) once again testified that Mr Hatley had called each of them "boy". Mr Hithon again won at the lowest court, but at the appeals level, a three-judge panel reversed the verdict. The case could still be appealed further.The speaker's meaning may depend on various factors including context, tone of voice, local custom and historical usage.
New Recruit
So, in your eager defense of everything Chinese, you are prepared to degrade yourself first by not acknowledging the explanation that is most likely, coincidentally given by people that work in the field of astronomy in 2 (!) different institutions and secondly by not even knowing simple words' meaning and extrapolating wildly on the account of what you maybe heard one day. Kinda even lower then the guy that at least gets 50c out of it.
very funny stories. The Russian victim keep silent and west medias speaking for Russian.
The fool is YOU since you failed to read your own link.
The speaker's meaning may depend on various factors including context, tone of voice, local custom and historical usage.
The context with gambit and Chinese people is ALWAYS negative.
Tone of voice is not applicable here.
Local custom is to address others with courtesy -- the word boy is explicitly meant to demean the other person.
Historical usage is that the term "boy" is widely recognized in American culture as having racial overtones, except when used towards an actual boy.
Once again, we come back to the concept that multiple factors dovetailing reinforce a claim. In the case you mentioned, there was no evidence of the speaker's animosity towards black people. In this case with gambit, the forum is full of his histrionic tantrums against China and Chinese people.
Context matters.
What is it with bigoted fools that they don't read their own links before posting?
Note that the experts merely said a cautious "appears to be" without assigning definite blame.
It is the anti-Chinese racists here who are jumping all over the place, imagining legally solid proof where none exists.
"Neither of two stories mentions any evidence of racial bias by Mr Hatley except for two uses of "boy".
I knew this was the part where you would hang. Context would mean definitive insults of the racial kind, demeaning of said persons and using actual racist words together with "boy" as in the example like "yellow boy".
Even the phrase "50 cent boys" could not be taken as racist, only as "insulting" to a certain demographic group who make money doing you know what.
If i say my boy is getting on my nerves and i talk about my son, is that racist? No , it isn't. Therefore when you will be able to connect "boy" with a derrogatory term used to describe the inhabitants of middle kingdom, then you "might" have a case.
Everything i wrote above is in total compliance with what the decision of the Supreme Court was. Now, i suggest before you call anyone fool or bigot, you think what you will write. Time and again it gets proved you are clueless. And stop clutching at straws, this is just the latest of your "straws" to get burned down. And it makes you look silly. (understatement)
So, what you gonna do now boy? Report me for racism?
The prevaling spirit of the post is "use common sense" when you talk about the meaning of "boy" in racist debate or just about anything.
But as we already observed in this thread and a good few before it, common sense for you is hardly attainable. You have rare moments of lucidity but this is not one of them. And you are no stranger to jumping to conclusions either.
You truly are a clueless clown -- no wonder you are in the same camp as gambit.
When racists use the word "boy", they do not need to prefix it with any adjective as in "black boy" or "yellow boy". Their behavioral patterns provide the necessary context to interpret their words. Just one word, "boy" can convey all the racism needed.
No one has ever claimed that the word "boy" by itself, without contextual clues, is racist. When I say, "boy, it's hot today", there's no racial connotation. Lots of people here use the words "boy", "kid", and "12 year old" freely. Without a pattern of usage against a particular ethnicity, or other evidence of racial bias, such usages are dismissed as the usual silliness on internet forums.
The context always determines the intent, and your understanding of context is as pitiful as your understanding of English and logic. Context means much more than the immediate syntactic neighborhood of a particular usage; in a broader sense, context includes all additional clues as to the intended usage -- especially, as I mentioned, the speaker's behavioral patterns.
The whole issue is "does the person have a consistent pattern of animosity towards the target group?"
When such context is abundantly on display, then the language becomes subject to greater scrutiny.
What pattern of usage?
