BINGO!

OMG I might offend someone who assumes they know what it means to me.

1. I am not in control of who decides to be offended
2. People shouldn't assume to know anything

what part of this swastika is tilted 45 degrees?

I've seen it at 45 and like I said it wasn't the first. I'll find you a few images..........

Edit: also if you want to get into specifics why don't you say it has to be surounded by a white circle and a burgandy background to be considered a Nazi symbol.

"People shouldn't assume to know anything"

You really are an idiot. It is human nature to assume, predict and detect patterns. Right now I am detecting a pattern of stupidity in your posts. Using my reasoning I am going to decide to stop posting because of your this. Unfortunately it took me too long to figure this out.

BTW, don't assume that the sun is going to rise tomorrow, you wouldn't want to break your own rule. Sheesh!

1. In case you haven't figured it out yet....HUMANS ARE STUPID
2. You predicted a pattern? Well good. In 300+ more years you can warn people of the swastika.
3. I don't assume the sun will rise tomorrow.

2. People shouldn't assume to know anything

so let's see you either.....

Decide to wear a symbol that can remind people of personal suffering, death, and destruction. Even if it may mean something else

or

decide to put on another shirt, and not be a dick.

I can TOTALLY see why you'd wear you're "peace" symbol. :roll:

Yes I should make sure every little thing I do doesn't offend anyone or remind them of something that hurt in the past.

Sorry my life is too short for that sh!t.

Edit: Who is really being the d!ck here? Me wearing a shirt that is usually assumed tohave swastika on it or the guy saying I shouldn't wear it because it might offend someone even though it doesn't have anything to do with Nazis..........

Come to think of it you remind me of a .....................Nazi.....

dick, you're making the choice of wearing something you KNOW is associated with nazis.

And yeah I know the nazis got a really bad wrap, in fact they were the boyscouts right? People just didn't understand. I mean they were using a peace sign and everything.

Yeah I hope your life will be reeeeaaaaalllly short.

dick.

it's not even a swastika, it's a ninja star and that's where all their secret assassins train. but now you went and blew their cover and now they'll have to find somewhere else to go!

and just in case anyone might be wondering why I'm having a flame war with a dick. It's because I've interviewed WW2 vets, German Jews, and the family of holocaust survivors. The atrocities they described and the events they went through, to me at least, supersedes any persons fashion sense.

I have/ had several WW2 vets in my family and my Grandmother is a holocast survivor and they are the ones that taught me the values I have today.

If someone had noticed this design and felt offended would you have proposed redesigning it? Now that someone probably is offended should we tear it down or is it just a building?

dick, I'm not talking about the building. But the shirt you choose to wear that can be seen by someone walking down the street. Not flying around a few hundered feet in the air.

That's just the Nazi flag. The Nazi swastika appears in other forms, like this, but (almost?) always tilted 45 degrees.

Joeking, you really wasted your time debating with this moron. Also I highly doubt his grandmother is a holocaust survivor. She would slap the little bitch out of him for wearing a swastika.
