i just see a knee-jerk reaction from people trained to find it offensive and can't see through the forced on red mist to put it in context.

i'm not even gonna argue with you. i find it offensive, though you seem to think it's fine to the extent of now using it in your own sig. each to their own. this is why i didn't report it as making this thread would give others the chance to agree or disagree with my feelings.

The swastika is an extremely powerful symbol. Though the Nazis used it to murder millions of people , for centuries it had positive meanings. What is the history of the swastika? Does it now represent good or evil?

Hitler and the Nazis

In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For Hitler, the new flag had to be "a symbol of our own struggle" as well as "highly effective as a poster." (Mein Kampf, pg. 495)

On August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress, this flag became the official emblem of the Nazi Party.

In Mein Kampf, Hitler described the Nazis' new flag: "In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic." (pg. 496-497)

Because of the Nazis' flag, the swastika soon became a symbol of hate, antisemitism, violence, death, and murder.

Holocaust:

The destruction of some 6 million Jews by the Nazis and their followers in Europe between the years 1933-1945. Other individuals and groups were persecuted and suffered grievously during this period, but only the Jews were marked for complete and utter extinction. The term "Holocaust" - literally meaning "a completely burned sacrifice" - tends to suggest a sacrificial connotation to what occurred. The word Shoah, originally a Biblical term meaning widespread disaster, is the modern Hebrew equivalent.

im pretty sure GepperRankins already know all of the stuff....i think...

Taking it lightly,and equating a manufacture of video games,to a regime that
killed 6 million people for no other reason ...than the Jewish blood that ran in their veins...is Dave.
