winsor 220 #51 February 13, 2012 Quote Quote Quote You raised a qustion that I've had for a long time. Do people who get Japanese characters tattooed on their bodies really know what they mean? Chuck most people just assume whatever symbol they have on them means what the shop/artist says it does, they dont do any outside research on their own. The tattoo artist could have a lot of fun! Might not be too safe for the bearer of the tattoo. Chuck You do have to be pretty careful what your tattoo says. "Who's Bob?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The even orbit over large assemblies of people, like at the Superbowl. Hmmm... I wonder if Goodyear is a supporter of neo-nazis bent on the destruction of America? If we're going to stamp out all symbols of evil nazis, then shouldn't we dismantle and destroy the Goodyear blimps? If, we do that, we won't get those great aerial views of the football games or NASCAR races. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrad 0 #58 February 13, 2012 QuoteQuoteIt didn't "resemble" the Nazi SS symbol, it was identical. Why are you trying to excuse the inexcusable? Do you object to them using the letters "SS" in ANY form to represent scout-sniper teams? Or is it ONLY when they look like the letter "S" from the rune alphabet as used by the nazis that you object? Obviously not, its the blatant use of the Nazi SS emblem that is offensive.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

That's because your example was stupid. The swastika was a good luck symbol for the Navajo Indians, long before there were nazis. So, does that mean that the Navajo should quit using their ancient good luck symbol now, because someone might misconstrue it as a nazi thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creep0321 0 #67 February 14, 2012 Quote Seems these US Marines are not sure themselves. They've pissed on the memory of those murdered at Malmedy, shame on them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-16973868 Simply put, your an idiot. They are not pissing on the memory of anyone, except maybe the thousands of Al Quaeda, and Taliban that have fallen thanks to a Marine Scout Sniper. I am a Recon Marine, like the Marines in that photo, not all of us are Scout Snipers, but a good portion are, and I know Snipers of every race, and creed, and id say 90% including the jewish ones have the SS bolts tattooed on their body. It has nothing to do with the SS of Germany, Its simply a Logo, that was adopted in the 60's and 70's. Leave it at that and stop trying to find ways to bitch about everything, that may or may non upset a minoroity of people. Thanks to bitching and whining Ive had to take hours out of my day's recently to go through gear inspections to ensure no one has SS bolts on anything, this time could have been used to train Marines for combat, but instead we stand in formation to please a few people.
