Your problem is that you're not funny anymore, Charlie Brown.

The Broken Windows Theory, then? You think that what I said somehow had something to do with preventing criminal behavior?

[MrBogosity]

OK, sfiorare, you desperately need to read this: http://www.fee.org/pdf/books/Economics_in_one_lesson.pdf

The Broken Window Fallacy is covered in Chapter 2.

i don't see any connection

[MrBogosity]

The Broken Window Theory (as opposed to the Broken Window Fallacy) says that repairing broken windows in a neighborhood will reduce crime. You said you weren't talking about the Broken Window Fallacy (elucidated in the link I gave you) or the Broken Window Effect (a concept in IT where downtime becomes tolerated and workarounds become the norm). That's the only other Broken Window thing I know of.

You do know that when Shane talks about a broken window fallacy he does'nt mean a actual window that's broken, right?

I honestly don't know what you're looking for here, sfiorare, but you're not behaving in the manner of someone who wants a rational discussion, or someone who wants to learn.
