Well the swatiska IS the buddhist symbol for good fortune (90% sure of that), the n@zis actually moved it around a tad to make their symbol, but since it's most commonly seen as a hateful symbol, maybe it's best not to keep it there, you know, not to start wars that can be avoided.

Buddhist symbol, huh? I thought it just more generic sanskrit. still, same area. but yes, the swastika did not start out as a symbol of hate.
political correctness is a doctrine fostered by an illogical liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mass media that holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I believe gun control is being able to hit your target.

Re: Thank you Google

the swastika isnt just from buhddist culture, its a symbol of peace and/or power in hundreds of cultures, from all over the world, in many different times.

even the nazi's used the symbol BECAUSE it meant power. and its only because it became world famouse through them that its such a negatively viewed symbol.

however, since the true meaning of the symbol is not negative, it is a very appropriate design for a military structure. Because the military stands for both meanings(maintaining "peace" with "power").



~Zeke~ - so on a final note, this "Morris S. Casuto" and his collueges need to get off their freggin high hoarse and get some common sense about them. hmph!

Re: Thank you Google

Heh... Gatedialer linked me to this quite a while back... I didn't think much of it at the time...

But surely they could have come up with some better use for that $600k! Like I dunno... giving it to me! :P
