RE: Jimbo LG3350

I was bored in work

Jimbo LG3350

I want to share with you a few of the tentative conclusions I`ve reached regarding Jimbo`s biases. And I stress the word "tentative," because the subject of what motivates Jimbo is tricky and complex. First off, if you think that Jimbo is a martyr for freedom and a victim of Comstockism, then you`re suffering from very serious nearsightedness. You`re focusing too much on what he wants you to see and failing to observe many other things of much greater importance. At first blush, it appears that he reads magazines that feature the disrespect, degradation, dehumanization, and exploitation of women and their bodies. Despite Jimbo`s evident lack of grounding in what he`s talking about, Jimbo is careless with data, makes all sorts of causal interpretations of things without any real justification, has a way of combining disparate ideas that don`t seem to hang together, seems to show a sort of pride in his own biases, gets into all sorts of flighty speculation, and then makes no effort to test out his speculations -- and that`s just the short list!

He is like a stray pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don`t like; they poo on people they don`t even know. The only real difference between Jimbo and a pigeon is that Jimbo intends to extinguish the voices of opposition. That`s why he keeps saying that he understands the difference between civilization and savagery. Isn`t that claim getting a little shopworn? I mean, some of the facts I`m about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, he does, occasionally, make a valid point. But when he says that the rest of us are an inferior group of people, fit only to be enslaved, beaten, and butchered at the whim of our betters, that`s where the facts end and the ludicrousness begins. All the same, the grossly fallacious reasoning behind Jimbo`s sophistries can be confirmed by some simple fact-checking. But what, you may ask, does any of that have to do with the theme of this letter, viz., that he and his cronies are puppets of biased prodigal schmucks? I`ll tell you what I think the answer is. I can`t prove it, but if I`m correct, events soon will prove me right. I think that his latest manifesto, like all the ones that preceded it, is a consummate anthology of disastrously bad writing teeming with misquotations and inaccuracies, an odyssey of anecdotes that are occasionally entertaining, but certainly not informative. Before I move on, I just want to state once more that Jimbo is stepping over the line when he attempts to do everything possible to keep devious freeloaders stingy and petty -- way over the line.

His understrappers believe that he has achieved sainthood. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to get my message about Jimbo out to the world. As far back as I can remember, he has pitted hoodlums against maniacs and low-lifes against ideologues. His rejoinders cannot stand on their own merit. That`s why they`re dependent on elaborate artifices and explanatory stories to convince us that everything Jimbo says is entirely and completely true. Incidentally, there is a format he should follow for his next literary endeavor. It involves a topic sentence and supporting facts. Let me end by appealing to our collective sense of humanity: I could do without Jimbo`s throat-cutting rampages.

Seriously keep up the good work and fine us them hacks.
My LG3350 should be arriving end of the week

RE: Aiwa or Toshiba?

I am just about to buy a new DVD player myself and have been, looking at the Awia 370, tosh SD100 and Pioneer 535.

All I want this DVD for is for watching DVD`s multi regional. So I don`t care about MP3, CDR, CDRW etc. At the moment the Toshiba seems to be getting the thumbs up from what I have read on the net. You can get the toshiba multi regional for the same price as the awia. Only problem with the Tosh that I have seen is RCE, and there is a work around for this.
