i could care less about the confederate flag, or the swastika for that matter. and i completely understand your point of view.

and you are right about the big jacked up chevy with the flag in the window, but that is still a stereotype (regardless of whether it is right most of the time). sterotypes do have to come from somewhere.

the aryans, lol. i don't want to touch that one.

and you are right, many do associate the swastika with the nazis. but to me that's ignorant. that's someone not knowing history or not caring to look. that's like 11,000 years of good for the swastika and 50 years of bad. hmmm, which way should the scale tip? but which way does it tip? you are right.

history is written by the winner, so i'm sure that has something to do with the negative connotations of many things.

one of my favorite quotes, it's an african proverb that states, "until the lions have their historians the hunt will always favor the hunter.".

i do appreciate your opinion. and thank your for appreciating mine.

i know this whole thing was a little off topic, but it was still right on topic. it is because of those men and women have served this country (and your's i'm sure too johnny, although i can't say i know much about canadian history) that we can discuss our opinions.

and like i said, regardless of what connotation something carries, it is a personal choice whether or not someone gets offended.

what does having a tattoo of a swastika prove? that idiots will jump to a conclusion and wanna beat me up? that would merely strengthen my point.

i appreciate the good debate though.
