Make that, "death sentences for any crooked executives," and I think you'll have everyone's interest. :)

Who doesn't get the death penalty in China? Even Texas is saying, "Now, come on guys, this might be a bit excessive."

I don't think we'd have any executives left.

Farting in an elevator is probably the third best thing in the universe, behind shiatting and sex.

Its a crappy situation. My western mind thinks about the dudes wife and children going through hell right now. I mean, it's just money... is cash worth life?

On the other hand I live in (one of the most modern) parts of china and have seen culturally ingrained corruption at it's worst. First hand. It just gets bigger and broader with gov't and company officials. Corruption is a very, very serious problem in many (varying degrees) Asian nations. Where does it stop? What do you have to do to change 4000 years of historically 'proper' habits?

Well, I guess you have to kill a few execs in the 22nd century. As they fly around with space gear and buck rogers outfits.

If you are against the death penalty you should be strongly advocating its use against corrupt corporate executives.

Anything bad for the ultra-rich is soon eliminated.

 
Xetal 2008-08-24 12:51:15 PM  
I could have the population under control in a snap if they let me decide what warrants the death penalty.

I really don't see why people are so against 2/3 of the population being executed.

And be accountable if it farks up and hurts us. And will disassmeble itself and get out of our lives when it doesn;t keep it promises or our assumptions. Uh huh.

Little matter that the government does produce or create anything that generates the very wealth that fueld it. It only consumes....voraciously.

NOooo not elevator farting .... That is some of my cherished moments . In a car full of suits silently dropping the bomb, or reaching your floor and letting one rip as you step off . Seeing the door close on their disgusted faces as I smile back . Next you will tell me I can't take a dump in the accounting department's bathroom , or steal post-its and pens and printer paper and computer ram , and the laptop someone left near the exit , and that projector from the boardroom, and the executive chair and that money for the orphans or Ethiopians or who ever. FREEEEDOOOMMM!!!!!

"death with a two-year reprieve"? What's the point? It's not like new evidence is going to come to light and they'll retry him. How is it a reprieve to know you just get to sit in jail for two years until they kill you?

I looked up "death with a two-year reprieve" on google to see what I got and I found an article about a Chinese guy who tortured his girlfriend almost to death and received a death sentence. They appealed because he claimed mental illness and he was granted "leniency", meaning a two year stay of execution. While this is a poor example in general due to the crime the sentencing concept still invites the question "what the fark is wrong with China?"

If you're guilty of conspiracy to defraud and the value is over 1 Billion dollars, you should get the death penalty. Since you're a death penalty country, that is.

Wait, does a two-year reprieve mean that he'll only be dead for two years??? That's not so bad.

You can vote your government out off office, jackoff. With corporations you get to "vote with your feet" and nobody can pull the little lever that way.

When it's Bear Sterns or S&L level cash, absolutely. These SOBs have done damage Al-Qaeda can only dream about. The real crime is the typical 'five years in a minimum security golf resort' sentence.

I think ultimately, the primary issue is lost taxes to the government. You stole from a company, which means less taxes to the government, and not paying taxes is a capital offense.

I doubt they despise corruption in general, just the kind that affects the government's income negatively.

Well, neenerist that would have been the second part of my paragraph. It's a shi**y situation, but something needs to be done, especially in Asia.

Why can't we just cut their hands off like India? :)


My very good friends opened a bar in asia. It was successful, so they opened a bigger one. Right off the bat bribes had to be paid to the chief gang bangers, in a manner that struck me as official. It's just the way things were. We all saw it wasn't controllable and they sold out of the place.

The last night the club was open 15 guys rolled up with baseball bats and took the place out. If it was made of glass, plastic or wood it was broken. I went to put my beer down on a table and the table wasn't there anymore. I got the fark out in seconds.

So, the cops roll up as the hoods are still inside destroying the place. The gang manager comes out, shakes the lead cops hand, walks into the place with him. The cop askes the owner "do you want to press charges?" as all the gang bangers are standing around the owner leering at him. Guy says no, Gangster shakes hands with cop, they all leave.

Owner just sat there, stoic, like he wanted to cry but knew better. place never opened again.

like I mentioned above, I'm living in a somewhat wealthy part of china. They need to make drastic changes, but those changes are both legal, and cultural. Their doing it with the big DP in Jong Gwoh 中國 and maybe they need to.
