This is aside from the fact that opposition to the swastika is a first amendment issue because if I cannot publicly display one without being attacked either verbally or physically regardless of why I am displaying it then that is censorship--plain and simple. If you favor stigmatizing (read as censoring) the swastika then you may as well favor replacing "n-igger" with "slave" in "Huck Finn" and putting parental advisory stickers on CDs. You may as well admit that the people who tried to ban Burroughs' "Naked Lunch" had a point. The displaying of a swastika in public is, in fact, far less harmful than any of these other instances that liberals would immediately jump up to defend.
Honestly, you're pushing people's buttons by making light of the symbol, as though people don't have a right to be offended by it because it "used" to be used by other civilizations in a positive form. At the end of the day, most people will be upset about it because it represents the most evil of human nature because of the Nazi regime during WWII.

Anyways, millions of people died in some of the worst ways human beings have ever died under a flag with a swastika on it. Why is it so frustrating to you that someone would be upset by seeing such a symbol? Yeah, you might be wearing it because you choose to interpret it as something else but other people shouldn't be expected to do the same. The fact is, swastikas are now and forever associated with human tragedy and people have every right to see it that way.
Exactly. The sooner Larehip gets it the better this thread will get.
