It was a good luck sign, the nazis' took it so the German people would feel that luck or mabey fate was on their side.

But you already knew that right?

And now you can't even wear anything with a present-day German flag on it without being called "Nazi".
I speak from experience.

Post by: an0n on May 06, 2003, 01:45:56 pm: Pfff. All you gotta do is shout back "Nigger". Even if they're not remotely black. Even if they've got blonde hair and blue eyes. It'll confuse them long enough for you to grab a pole of some sort and beat them to death for being ignorant and superficial.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on May 06, 2003, 01:48:52 pm: Sounds good.

BTW, is there any offensive name for supporters of Mussolini? As a lot of the people who call me Nazi wear Italia tops of various ilks.

It's just occurred to me that most of them would be too stupid to understand, anyway.

I'll just hit them with my hat, for now that I have put a belt round it, the buckle will be most painful.

Post by: LAW ENFORCER on May 06, 2003, 03:08:02 pm: Even better, BECOME a nazi, get some swatika drapes a old german half-track and ride around them shouting "Hail Hitler" before taking them into a feild for a 'break' and machinguning them down....

Caution: Only use once! (and be prepared to be feindishly murdered...):nervous:

was a bhuddist ( sp? ) symbol actually.

Post by: Stryke 9 on May 06, 2003, 04:44:39 pm: Er... not sure about that. Last I checked, it was an ideogram or summat from the real Aryan culture, which was around India or somewhere but died out centuries ago.

I'm not sure really. I know it was originally called 'The Sign of the Manji"

I'll go look it up and see for sure

well from the links you gave:

Swastika has nothing to do with Christ and with Christianism. It is a Buddhist symbol for peace, as it still appears nowadays on Buddhist temples in Asia. I have seen one in a bi-lingual edition of a Taiwanese magazine. The editors felt the necessity of explaining in the English text that Swastika is a Buddhist symbol of peace, and this is why the puzzled European reader could see it in pictures showing temples.

Post by: Crazy_Ivan80 on May 07, 2003, 04:04:13 am: The swastika is not only from buddhism. The Celts and Greeks used it too, as did the ancient people of the middle east. You can find the thing everywhere to be honest.

Clearly those terms mean different things in different parts of England.

Goths wear black, Boggers I've never heard of, and townies wear Adidas ****e. So wtf are you on about?
Title: fringe benefits of police work
Post by: Kamikaze on May 07, 2003, 09:37:14 am: seems that both indian culture and germanic culture got the symbol, probably from the same source (some other older culture)... so it's not surprising to see it in buddhism or used by germanic culture (nazis are an extension of that).

Post by: Nico on May 07, 2003, 10:25:07 am: yeah, but my point is that they raped it.
now swatiska=nazi.
it used to be a symbol of peace...
...
why the hell am I talking about that? :wtf:

Boggers are like scruffy skate-boarders.

And here, Townies are more burberry-wearing ****-heads, though it applies to pretty much anyone who is a fashion whore without having any fashion sense. People who try to look cool merely for the sake of looking cool.

I get naked and drunk. People usually follow. If not I get my gun out and shoot them systematically until everyone is either dead or naked.

People are so shy nowadays :)
