Default Re: OT: Stupid Nazis

Its a tough subject. I often get a bit ticked when people relate the sawstica (sp) to only the Nazi party. That symbol has been around far longer than the Nazi party. It was used by the American Indians and other cultures, albeit I do not know which ones, long before Hitler and his psyco cronies latched onto it.

Egyptians and older cultures used it too, a harmless symbol forever tainted by hatred. Stupid jackoffs.

And even the old vikings used similar symbols, it's an global used symbol ...... not only by the Nazis in WWII

What is also a shame is that most people think "Germans" are all "Nazi" would be like saying white americans are KKK
