Rev.Reverence Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) you know what? i get that the swastika can be an offensive symbol, but don't forget the germans stole it from the hindu culture. it's much older that hitler's reign, and had a much different use and meaning then. read here - first real link i found. here's a quote... (my bolding) as i said, i understand it offends some people, but your condemnation of anothers belief isn't exactly a great way to communicate that. and how about knocking of the exaggerated sarcasm? it was offered in the nature of it's original use, which was one of goodwill. "let good-prevail". it's not his fault that someone perceived it in a manner in which it wasn't intended... I REALLY appreciate Torn for getting this info out...eternal I think you are over reacting a bit...many peoples use that mandala...how long till they can use it with out being persecuted? ..personally thought it a bit ironic that the Gypsy (Roma if you want to be all PC) are descended from the same stock as the Hindi.

Destroit Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Keep the salamander away. I have been going through something very deep and VERY difficult. Something that only 2 people on DGN know about (besides Jeff). And only ONE MOD has bothered to check on me. That Mod is Phee. Back when I used to be a Mod, I checked on a LOT of people. Phee is the ONLY Mod who has been consistently checking on me. This is not about the 3 or 4 others who have PMed me to see if I'm ok. I'm beginning to think it's time for me to fly... Thank you, Phee. And you 3 or 4 others that are NOT Mods. Aww I didn't know you were going through shit or I would have said something too. If it makes you feel any better, nobody comforts the mods in their time of need...well then, I haven't been comforted by anyone here before, except Troy and Phee. Other than that? Not ONE person on here has ever really asked me how I am, and while it doesn't bother me personally, I get how some people could take it to heart though. I wouldn't take it too personally. Hope whatever crap you're going through is resolved, or at least you can make peace with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroit Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Ah yes. The swastika. With a Star of David. It's always brought a good deal of peace, luck, and prosperity for my people Just look at all the PROSPERITY here NOT TO MENTION--freedom Most definatly NOT A SWASTIKA...I know that may be what it looks like, but look into it, it's not. It's a 3,000 hindu symbol that well, means exactly what Candyman said it means. Sooo...believers of the Hindu culture are just suppose to drop a VERY meaningful and positive symbol to their entire culture just because some asshole facist decided to be a dick and turn it into something negative? I mean if he had posted a swastika with a caption "HEIL HITLER" above it infront of the Nazi Eagle...I could understand the upset. Psssht...it's like how gay people stole rainbows and now nobody else can use them . IT ALL OUR RAINBOWS, DAMNIT, AND I WANT IT BACK WITHOUT PEOPLE THINKING I'M GAY...I mean...I think they're pretty. *Looks around* ...Whaaat?
