<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>This is exactly what I was talking about in my original post, because one group used it in their hateful idiology now its automatically seen as something that should be covered up. Seriously, Jewish people going to India get offended because the Swatzika is on a 4,000 year old statue. The Nazis and their attrocities ended 60 years ago, people need to move on. let the past be the past and stop whining over what happened. The Germans paid a steep price for what they did, their country was divided for 40 years, they have to live with the fact that their ancestors tried to eradicate an entire group of people. plus its not like the Jews have never commited mass genocide, but thats ok because of the haulicaust?</div>Dude, the jews are BY FAR the most discriminated against group in the history of the earth (women give them a run for their money maybe, but that's it). It's not even a contest.The Jews have never committed mass genocide. Israel is not committing "genocide" in Palestine, they are just oppressing them. And that is the only time in history that "the jews" can even be considered a group accountable for as a whole.I think you're allowed to "whine" over one of the biggest massacres in the history of the world and bury a symbol that was responsible for 20+ million deaths."The Germans paid a steep price for what they did"That is just bullsh**. They were directly or indirectly the cause of 70 million deaths in WW1 and 2 combined; two wars that they were the sole catalysts of.And above all things, the Hindus have CHANGED their symbol, so anybody who uses the symbol now is a racist. A swastika should not be part of this discussion because the symbol is changed.The point being, using a swastika or a confederate flag now is calling a farmer a "villain" or saying "F*ck" to mean "to hit a nail hard". Those may have been the original definitions but when they're known to the mass of the world as what they are now, there is a racial undertone, whether conscious or subconscious to using them.It's like Randal from clerks II trying to take back the word "Porch Monkey"

Lots of garbage so sorry if I'm saying what's been said: The swastika is like the original cross. It's more original than the stupid cross people think about nowadays. So I hate that you can't wear a swastika if you want to and if you do you can get in big trouble. It's bullsh**.Injuns. Blacks. Crackers. Fags. Whatever. Screw political correctness.
