Microsoft Swastikas

[Franz Schubert]

There's a big difference between a swastika and an ancient symbol which happens to look like a swastika.

[Kashluk]

Ahem... It's still the same symbol:

According to the above link, swastika has been used by many cultures and groups way before the Third Reich, including

- Buddhists
- Greeks
- Sumerians
- American boy scout troops
- Navajo indians
- Hindus
- Nordic tribes
- Teutonic knights

either as exactly the same or slightly different.

I like the Navajo swastika. It's cool with feathers and all. And I guess it's 4-500 years older than the nazis.
One thing that's annoy me though, is that neo-nazis do their best to soil the Thor hammer. I always liked that as a Viking symbol.

Ach, so that's the deal... Germany sometimes makes me really confused. While being there, I was instructed not to talk about anything that had to do with the 40's, WW2 or Nazis. It would just get me either beaten, thrown out or both.

Guess you weren't in Bavaria then. (Just kidding, just kidding)

I still can't understand how it's better to forget about your past than learn from your mistakes and make sure you won't repeat them?

Maybe the German authorities are still ashamed of what happened way back in the '40s, and don't want to remember the horrors that ocurred.

Hey, the + sign looks like a swastika minus the little flared-out serif thingys on the ends, why not do a product recall on the keyboards and replace them all?

Someone should remove Tom Petty from The Postman...His visibility in the movie offends me...Or they should make a patch that cleans his teeth in the DVD.

[Kizmiaz]

Nah, they should keep some actors left in the movie.
