[/quote] He turned peace into fear It's quite clever. If you think about it, you can compare it to 1984. Making people paranoid of their own cultures and safety by inverting their beliefs.

LiAM Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 The biggest distinction really, is that the Nazi Swastika was diagonal, 45 degrees. Whereas Indian, buddhist and other religious or racial groups kept it as normal and usually decorative, but mainly noted in its simple form.

Azmodius Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 OK you liberal idiots, they obviously banned it because pokemons primary consumers are kids, and swastikas to them and their families are a nazi sign not for peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think Muslim religious symbols should be banned because stupid people will associate them with WTC. Wait, people actually think that. Why are the conservative moral guardians so insane that I can't even parody them without parroting them?

LiAM Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Would it be too risky to put a swastika in my avatar/ sig?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin' Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I believe the symbol for peace was originally developed by Buddha's or Hindu's or a religion of that matter, someone who was a part of Hitler's nation, being a clever bunny decided to tilt that symbol slightly and remove the dots, therefore giving you the Swastika. Basically, what Dark said... And pardon me if I'm wrong, my memory may not be serving me well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
