Do a minus 1 minus 1 counter and a plus 1 plus 1 counter on a creature cancel out in Magic the Gathering?

Counters will cancel out and be removed, but actual cards will not (they effectively cancel out, but they do not get removed unless other cards act specifically to remove them).
This is a state-based effect, which means it happens faster than you can tournament legally react to it (you can react to cards or effects that try to add one of the counters, but once the counter effects the card you cannot do anything to stop the cancellation).
People use this rule to keep creatures with "Persist" in play longer than they normally are.
