they try to trip you up by saying more ice cream sales are correlated with higher crime

but it's really just the temperature

it's a common thing

technically it's ice cream consumption

it's simple

people steal more ice cream when it's hotter

stealing is a crime

bam

there are more homeless people in hotter region as well

and homeless people trespass a lot

trespassing crimes can be easily dropped if the earth was cooler

@Techpriest He's saying the influence of temperature is accounted for

GG @babyfriend1, you just advanced to level 4!

In his studies

no he's not

he doesn't even bother to link a study that is supposedly "accounting temperature"

I never said temperature didn't effect crime rates. But that's a blatant red herring. Do you know what that is?

you n ever took into account norway's temperature

at reducing crime rates

It means we're talking about more severe punishments not being helpful for anyone - kids, criminals, society as a whole. And you shit on the conversation by making it seem like temperature is the important thing.

Fuck off.

let's have africa, america, asia, and india incorporate luxury prisons

100% rehabilitation

im sure people would just stop committing crimes

Again, fallacies everywhere

I don't think you're very good at this

again not accepting temperature is a major factor into crime rates

@Techpriest "A confounding variable, accounted for in a multitude of studies". He is saying that

temperature affects the amount of luxury prisons?

*Physioeconomics: The Basis for Long-Run Economic Growth*

This is an environmental possibilism book

and I would say based on it that, yes, it does

it's accepted by pretty much every criminologist that crime and heat are related

this topic is not even up for debate

exactly

That's frankly not what the debate is about

it is

The argument Cosby is making is that it's accounted for

> it's accounted for

and yet I see no account of this at all
