I'm not refusing to see anything. I'm tryign to aggregate it. If I started signing valentine's cards with "[swastika] Evan" because I was using it as a symbol of love, would that make it not a symbol of Naziism? [/ QUOTE ] In Korea, this would be fine. In deutschland, this would be bad. Context, Context, CONTEXT!!!!! |

Holy [censored] did you just called this arguement [ QUOTE ] Go to dollywood and get a bigger sample set. [/ QUOTE ] stupid and then follow it up with something this goddamn dumb? [ QUOTE ] I'm not refusing to see anything. I'm tryign to aggregate it. If I started signing valentine's cards with "[swastika] Evan" because I was using it as a symbol of love, would that make it not a symbol of Naziism? [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Can you explain why this is dumb? I don't get it and neither do a couple people I've asked. |

Wacki, when's the last time you saw an American Indian sporting the swastika? [/ QUOTE ] I don't mean to be a nit, but I do believe I saw either an Indian or some Indian artifact, either in person or on TV with a swastika on their clothes/art. I do not recall specifics, but I think this sample size is suffice. |

In some places it might be okay for me to shoot you for for disagreing with me, I don't need you to point out that it's not okay in this context since we're not in wherever. |

I was the one that pointed out in irc that it was originally an american indian symbol. My point is that it has taken on a different meaning in our culture. |

My point is that it has taken on a different meaning in our culture. [/ QUOTE ] [censored], I think it has a very different meaning for any culture that has had moving pictures since the 1930's. So I disagree with wacki here, atleast in regards to the swastika. |

You're using something totally unrealistic and ridiculous to argue against tsc's reasonable comments and right after mocking wacki's ridiculous statement. It just bugged me.
Or I'm reading it wrong. |

Wacki, when's the last time you saw an American Indian sporting the swastika? [/ QUOTE ] The last time I was on an Indian reservation for purposes other than gamboling..ing... 2 years ago. Still, arguement is irrelevant. I think the major problem here is that the flag means different things for people on different sides of the country. The solution? "When in Rome...." |
