It's pretty much the same way that anyone flying the Confederate Flag is labled as a racist. You sir, have common sense. Shouldn't you be too smart for WFigs?

U guys know jacksheet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika In the Indosphere (South Asia, Greater India), the swastika remains ubiquitous as a symbol of wealth and good fortune. In India and Nepal, electoral ballot papers are stamped with a round swastika-like pattern (to ensure that the accidental ink imprint on the other side of a folded ballot paper can be correctly identified as such).[95] Many businesses and other organisations, such as the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange and the Nepal Chamber of Commerce,[96] use the swastika in their logos. The red swastika was suggested as an emblem of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement in India and Sri Lanka, but the idea was not implemented.[97] Swastikas can be found practically everywhere in Indian and Nepalese cities, on buses, buildings, auto-rickshaws, and clothing. [edit] East Asia Swastikas continue to be widely used in Buddhist temples in China, and the symbol is most commonly associated with Buddhism. Japanese maps continue to use the swastika symbol to denote a Buddhist temple.[98] In Korea, maps also use the swastika symbol to denote a temple. The swastika is also a very common sight at both rural and urban Buddhist Temples. [edit] Central Asia In 2005, authorities in Tajikistan called for the widespread adoption of the swastika as a national symbol. President Emomali Rahmonov declared the swastika an Aryan symbol and 2006 to be "the year of Aryan culture," which would be a time to "study and popularize Aryan contributions to the history of the world civilization, raise a new generation (of Tajiks) with the spirit of national self-determination, and develop deeper ties with other ethnicities and cultures."[99] You tell us we don't know anything yet you had to use wikipedia to tell us that. Seems like you didn't know anything either.

Is this a Nazi symbol? Of course it was used for many many years before Hitler decided to take it, but it is now known as a bad thing. Correct, swastika was actually a sign of peace and is still used in some countries as one.

Seems like you didn't know anything either. so you shame him do to the fact he used a source to further the point so as to end the squabble over the idea that it is bad. words and symbols are seen only as we choose to perceive them(as everyone is stating) BUT to generalize the idea that the preconceived notion is bad just because you wish to indulge in it just doesn't seem ok to me. in such an example I choose to use the word gay in its direct definitional sense of happy but am frowned upon continuously for using words with many background to the one that I wish because I might find beauty in it. Symbols and Words should not be able to be put into context because a man misused something of beauty. That would be like saying if I kill a million people with a paintbrush then everyone should stop using them...

I didnt know posting info was an attack and thank you for being literary police on a forum....so i will assume first off that your trying to be an a-hole and ignore it because i find fighting over something obvious is ignorant and attacking another just for posting something...granted he may have wrote something of ridicule at the top but for you to take such offense over such a small statement just to further the discussion or what would be the beginning of an argument just seem ludicrous to me I apologize if I have offended and you and please feel free to grammar and spell check me....I wouldnt want for some one to get confused by my words or sentences structure on a forum.

What he posted before the link was the attack. Writing correctly will never hinder your argument.
