F-BVFA User ID: 48442288 France 11/14/2013 06:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A ban on the public display of Nazi symbols such as the swastika was rejected by the Swiss Council of States on Tuesday after an eight-year fight by politicians and associations to introduce a legal change. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49959791 [link to www.thelocal.ch] Switzerland is a true democracy. They have referendums in each province on any subject people want to call for. It is up to the Swiss citizens (or their elected representatives) to decide what is good or bad for their country we are no one to judge what they should or should not do. The same is valid for every sovereign nation. I came. I saw. I Concorde.

"The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

(That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh!) Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE. During the following thousand years, the image of the swastika was used by many cultures around the world, including in China, Japan, India, and southern Europe. By the Middle Ages, the swastika was a well known, if not commonly used, symbol but was called by many different names: China - wan England - fylfot Germany - Hakenkreuz Greece - tetraskelion and gammadion India - swastika [link to history1900s.about.com] the swastika just became an icon used by a dictator it was in existence 3,000 yrs before Hitler was born. |

I bet less than a third of the people on GLP know.

Mister1k User ID: 2324505 Canada 11/14/2013 07:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually you all get it wrong.. Hitlers swastika / symbol was his representation of national socialism. Always black in a white circle against a blood red background. And rotated clockwise 45 degrees. Moving forward. Its not just about the symbol as a single entity. Fail to Plan! Plan to Fail! |
miserkocho2 User ID: 47145462 Australia 11/14/2013 07:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | leave symbols for the symbol minded but objectively,its a balanced representation,of what idk.national socialism,although heavily statist,is not in itself a fascist ideology.the beliefs and intentions that underpin it,inevitably merits its desireability to ordinary people. #444 bill L |
