It's okay to make an honest profit. It's not okay to make a profit from the blood of your consumers! It's monsters like Toshiba that created OWS!

Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. Digital Products Division 9740 Irvine Boulevard Irvine, CA 92618-1697

Here is the proof:

what is it with you and toshiba? this is from back in the 'rising sun' days..

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

No, this is because Toshiba tried to commit warranty fraud against me. I busted them, and now I'm spreading the word on how bad they suck.

I'm focusing my efforts on bigger issues. Like 13 trillion stolen by the Fed.

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

Toshiba sold are military secrets to the Russians, and then paid Congress to not boycott them. They are a pretty big fucking deal and they need to be stopped. It's animals like Toshiba that destroyed wall street and ruined the free market.

Okay, selling secrets is another matter. I have not researched this issue and the first link only seemed to talk about defective hard drives.

Our attorney general is so useless. They should be taking care of this on their own instead of needing the whole country to demand them to.

That's a tricky issue - and they even brought up the middle east. Funny this comes up when we're close to war by proxy with russia (through israel and iran). I wonder exactly which secrets were sold to the russians.

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

Submarine Technology.

Ahh, I see. I would assume something to do with sound deadening - but I guess they didn't release the details?

I'm actually a bit fond of the Russians when it comes to military conflicts. One time they thought the US may have launched a nuke at them, but the dictator was cool about it, and said "no way" we did that and did not retaliate. They also defeated the nazis in WWII on their own soil. And their coverage of the US these days (rt.com) is the most accurate. So yeah, I do not hate the russians and think they know just as well as the US how it is to be a superpower.

You're missing the point. The U.S. Military was a consumer of Toshiba and Toshiba Screwed them over. Just like many on Wallstreet have screwed the folks over. Basically, this forum exists because of companies like Toshiba.

Haven't companies "like" toshiba created everything the internet depends on?

I don't see a connection from toshiba to OWS - if that is what you're saying.

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

No, Toshiba hasn't created everything the internet depends on. Furthermore, Toshiba is a big company that has used it's power to hurt the folks and they need to be stopped. OWS has united to stop the powerful from using their influence for evil.

[-] 1 points by 4thesystem (13) 12 years ago

stop buying their products? can OWS exist wo the electronics of their age?

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

Buy Asus. They don't fuck people over. Even Sony is better than Toshiba. Toshiba is like the Richard Nixon of electronics, the worst of the worst.

I agree - I'm all for people making lots of money and getting rich, but it should not be at the expense of our democracy. We need to get the money out of our politics if we ever want our "representatives" to truly represent the American people. Right now the corporations and special interests have our politicians bought and paid for. Our current system of legalized bribery (campaign donations) is allowing the rich and powerful to write our laws in their favor, effectively disenfranchising the average American and turning American into their personal ATM. We need to get the money out!!!

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

And Toshiba is the worst. They sold our military secrets to the Russians and Congress was going to boycott them but they used their infulence to override it. Ironically, Republican Duncan Hunter was leading the charge to boycott them. The only move that guy ever did right. It's so sad.

Well you're pissed of at Toshiba now but I'll bet you bought a Toyota or Honda or Suzuki or Hyundia car?

[-] 0 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

No, I bought a Mustang GT.

[-] 0 points by progmarx (66) 12 years ago

You just made me proud!!! Ford Rules,thanks.

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

Their good, but they but these awful rear headrests in all of the cars even the mustang gt. I'm so glad I bought the 2010 model and didn't wait for the 2011 5.0. Anyways, hopefully, I can honestly earn a fortune and I will make ford build me a bullit version of that 2013 super mustang they are coming out with.

Anyways, show me your love by spreading the word about how bad toshiba sucks.

[-] 1 points by HeavySigh (227) 12 years ago

How could you ever be glad you didn't get the 5.0? I would have concrete as headrests to drive that beast.

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

I have test driven the 5.0, it's not that much faster. Plus, they are having terrible problems with their six speed transmission.

Anyways, Toshiba sucks. Spread the word!

[-] 0 points by progmarx (66) 12 years ago

"2013 super mustang" sounds killer,don't really buy Toshiba and I try to buy American when ever possible. But will pass it along.

[-] 1 points by stuartchase (861) 12 years ago

Thank you very much. I hope you have a wonderful day. :)
