Say, anyone convicted of corporate crimes similar to Enron/WorldCom over $1 million gets life. If you can get 10 years for stealing $2000, stealing 500 times that much should get life. In fact if I supported the death penalty I probably would support for white collar super-criminals of the like, but I don't support the death penalty.

I'd much prefer putting them in the public stocks for 1 hour each day of the rest of the lives. Oh, and to be banned from any management position and forced to pay off the debt.

I'm not a fan of mandatory sentences in general (but the idea of forcing them to pay off the debt is... intriguing).

Ever heard of Hyperbole? It's a fantastic invention. You should use it some time: As you can see here: Wiki: Hyperbole

Though in general I tend to agree with this statement:

I oppose jail sentences for white collar or corporate crimes.

Not entirely sure on what is the best alternative though.

I'm not sure why you're attacking me. I was well-aware that you were making a hyperbolic statement. There's no need to be a smart-ass.

Sorry man, I thought you taking my post seriously. That and me failing hardcore at being the funny.
