It was a pretty racist statement actually. I was kinda ignoring it for the benifit of the discussion that followed but now that you guys are running your mouths about it let me at least cast my vote of disapproval.

I don't know what the hell you are talking about...Mexican's are DAMN hard workers and when my windows needed to be done, the lazy 'caucasian' bastards @ Wilson Windows were too elite to be caught dead doing the work for minimum wage so I got a couple of Mexicans to do the work and they did a great job FOR HALF THE PRICE ! Very proudly done.... u guys are amazing!! Racist? If I'm a racist for hiring mexicans for doing cheeper labor than caucasians then I guess so is Phil Night (CEO of Nike).

Liteon is a huge company with many divisions. Look at their site. They can afford to charge less.

I think FKloster's comparison was:

Mexican people are cheaper to hire than white ppl (who are supposed to be "better"), but the do job as good as or better.

LiteOn makes drivers cheaper than the name brands (who are supposed to be "better"), but do the jub as good as or better.

 

[Fingolfin269]

Yah too many people see the use of a nationality in a sentence and they assume racism before critically analyzing the intent. Chill with the PC crap I've gotta get some canadians to wash my windows! Now.. why would that offend most people less than me saying I've gotta get some mexicans to wash my windows?

hmmm, I really was not making that comparison but, after further review....that does look like a valid comparison to me.

Funniest thing I've read all day

Why is that?
Lite-on does make quality products.

Actually, racist comedians come up with some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard.
i.e. Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle.

Their material is funny 'cuz it's true

 

[Fingolfin269]

Man did you see the Chapelle (I think it was his first show on Comedy Central) where he was a black guy (wow!) who was blind and didn't know he was black... anyway the punch was that he was a white supremacist! God that was funny

Lite-On does make a quality product but to say it's equal to a Plextor is a humourous and assinine statement.

From the latest reviews I've read, they're pretty much equal.

Sgt must work for Plextor or something ^^

I think he's making a backhanded reference to the perception that Lite-On's are audibly loud. Har Har.

I've ripped about 300/400 some cd's on my liteon burner and burned almost 500 cd's... it's a 24x burner, and still works perfect...

How's that for quailty, all for like $50 when I got it..

How so? Just cause they are more expensive? What sort of long term testing have you done on each brand? Whats the ratio?

I've owned 2 plextors and 4 Lite-ons. Never had a problem with any of them.
