I do not despise elephants as I despise the Republicans, nor do I respect Donkeys as I support the Democrats. Having a particular like for the British Labor Party does not dispose me to a liking for red roses. Why then, does a symbol, in use for thousands of years, from ancient China to pre-Columbian America, become irredeemably associated with intolerance, tyranny and genocide simply because some mal-adjusted Austrian painter had a particular liking for it?

I have never been a Nazi, fascist, anti-semite or white supremacist, but I have, from the first time I saw it, had an aesthetic appreciation for the swastika... I used to doodle it in my exercise books in high school, for example. It has a kind of hypnotic power which may, in a way, have made in amenable to demagogury, I must admit.

In contrast to the equally compelling symbol of communism, it does, seem in a way, to highlight the difference between Fascism and Communism... fascism's appeal to a kind of mysticism, and Communism's appeal to a kind of evangelical materialism (the hammer and sickle).

Anyone who thinks the swastika was foreign to western culture before Nazism would do well to go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western...y_20th_century

Gosh, I'd never thought of 30 St Mary Axe as being shaped like a sex toy. What kind of mind would make such an association?

Mmmm,

Me too

My (personally my) ancestors fought vs. nazis under this banner. Four of them were KIA, only one has return from front (and as many times decorated war veteran).
Whenever I hear nazi-lovers who likes swastikas and nazis, I'm ready to bite through their throats.

Hey Serb, someone tells me there are a lot of Neo-nazis gangs in Russia. Is that true?

[Serb]

The are outlawed.

[Japher]

He didn't answer the question

[Serb]

Yes, There are a lot of neo-nazis gangs in Russia, but they are outlawed here, aside some of our neighbours where neo-nazis have a state support (hint: look at my avatar).
