[QUOTE=JonIrenicus]On another game forum (lineage 1), a buddhist player used his symbol in-game and minutes later players complained about it because they thought it was the nazis symbol. I defended his right to use it long as I could but you know how majority rules and whatnot >,< Anyways as long as we see the "nazi symbol" for hate, it'll remain that way.[/QUOTE]
Yes, and that's where the problem is...
Vast majority does think it only as a symbol nazism, and they do not take in account that it had been used before, numerous times. Hitler just did take it as the symbol of his believes. Now, because of that the symbol has become almost as hated as Hitler and nazism itself, since for many it represent nazism and nothing more. Sad but true. And for now it seems quite impossible to try to change that additude, since there are still lots of people who had to experience the horrors and cruelty of Hitler and nazism. I have myself met some. And even though it has been quite long time, if compared to length of human life, it's still too close to us so it will take still long time before people can actually accept the symbol as something else as an symbol of nazism and Hitler. After all, it's only a symbol which got bad image, thanx to one man.
To make one thing clear, I'm not the fan of nazism, actually quite contrary. I do not accept what were done during those times. Just to clarify that thing, so that I do not give wrong impression...

Glad you enjoyed it, and if you're a fan of port, you should get a barrel to oak up bought ports. The small one we have makes it much better, apparently (I say apparently because I can't tell the difference).
Ahh, then a wise man ye been Demo, you sound like a great sage providing truth for the ages.

Sounds like a good idea but I can't afford to buy drink to keep, you know. I buy it - I drink it.
[QUOTE=dj_venom]Ahhh, fair enough. Maybe it's time to start believeing in Santa again?

Nice idea, but in fact I will probably get on better believing in work. Tragically that is how it has worked out so far, anyway *and with that she went to work*
