What's sad about the **** thing is that many people today view the symbol with fear and ban it from common display, trying to hide what it stood for during Hitler's reign. It controls them and in my eyes it means that he won. It's up to us to take away that symbol's power, but most people are too gutless to stand up to it. So, until then we'll keep cowering in our little corners... afraid.

how silly.........the symbol will always be assiciated with the humans race darkest days
Well, altough it's origional meaning was good luck and peace, it was most widely used by hitler and his nazi scum. So, when people see the swastica they automaticly think "nazis".
Interesting origin though.
Yes and these MORONIC, uneducated white supremacists out there that use the swastika for their group symbol deserve to be shot. Every time I see them I wonder how stupid some "people" can be... They have no CLUE of the horrors wrought upon innocent people during WWII by those who wore that very symbol on their uniforms.
I have a family relative that lies in the American Cemetery at Normandy (the same one from "Saving Private Ryan" if you're not aware) and he died, in combat, fighting against the very soldiers that stood for saluted that ugly symbol and its dictator.

It was a symbol used in Hinduism and Buddhism, and other religions as well. It was even used by the Boy Scouts in Britain and by Rudyard Kipling in his books (an admirer of Hinduism) until the Nazis appropriated it.

Actually talked to a buddhist monk about this, his reasoning is that because Hitler flipped the Swastika, it brought him bad luck, thus losing the war.
Swastika symbol was also used by the Finnish Air force during the war. The symbol itself was blue on white background and the swastika wasn't in a 45 degree angle like those of nazis, but levelled. And it had nothing to do with the nazi counterpart, it was just an insignia adopted by Finns.

It's nice to know a little history on it but that symbol will forever be associated with serious evil. I don't like it one bit. WWII changed that.

In other words it holds power over you.
