Come again? Neither of those have proven anything ever... they are purely theoretical...
Oh and by the way, using theoretical doctorines like quantum mechanics to prove your arguments? That's the equivalent of saying 'because jesus made it that way' both have equal evidence..

That statement is actually an argumentum ad ignorantiam and is a known logical formal fallacy.
There are three common logical methods used in science to prove a negative:
1) Evidence of absence
2) Proof of impossibility
and
3) Modus tollens
Just pick one of the three methods above and prove that karma doesn't exist.

shifting the burden of proof on him is an unsound argument practice, maybe you should have showed up to that second class of Logical Thought 101.... proof of impossibility? how could anyone EVER prove that? With that logic no argument is valid.
Tip: don't use latin when trying to make your point, makes you seem like you are desperately reaching and fresh out of a classroom, which reverberates lack of experience ;)

i DO believe in Karma... but not to blame japanese peeps... in life it applies on everything.. if you're a good person you get a good treatment... thats totally proven.. doesnt pay to be an asshole in life

get out more, you will see that there is no BALANCE (the word for karma that people understand better) Terrible things happen to good people all the time. Do you really need to look for examples of this? I would bet that you even know some instances already...
