Been to several Tibetan "theater" production shows, they had them.. I didn't find them offensive.

Also have been involved with several American Indian activities and have seen then there as well.
They don't bother me either.

People shouldn't be scared of symbols humans use. Lot's have lost their true meanings or older meanings, which are usually very positive meanings unlike the meaning now a days..
Miss used words, miss used symbols.... stupid humans :P

Like the word GAY... lol used to mean happy.. eh now what does it mean.. LOL
Or like the Pentagram.. now used a lot in "Satanic" stuff... Its actually a pagan symbol misused.
Or like a ho used to be a Hoe to use in your garden instead of ...hah a woman who gives it up...without thought

...
Boolchit?

When do you or someone you know.. think of Hitlers swastika, without hearing about it on the news... I sure don't hear about it other than on the news or like a forum tryn to make sense of seeing one.. or a use of something related to Germany at that time. (and on the news its always 100% negitive) And I am sure just about any Hebrew would take offensive of the symbol

LoL better never take the Freeways.. Germans.. Hitler invented them..

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

I don't know what your definition of 'bastardization' is, but if murdering millions of people under the banner of the swastika isn't a case in point, then I sure don't know what is.

Thats your opinon, you are boneheaded.. one sided thinker. I do not support ****'s thank you. But I am sure the millions of germans who WERE NOT SS officers or the ones in Death Camps or whatever the **** they were called did support the Swastica..as a National Symbol of their Nationalism.


Just like millions of Americans support the American flag, no matter what the **** this Goverment does...
but thats a little different right... we had concentration camps... japanese, we had slaves, we had what else oh yea Indians slaughtered...
our flag still flys high...

What ???

Not sure what you're so excited about.The stairway thing was simply meant to say something you said yourself:That words etc will always have multiple meanings.My thought was to forget about the topic and move on.

I wear my german style non-DOT helmet because it looks bad ***. I do have several other helmets, but those are DOTs.

In the end people should wear, ride, whatever they please, and be happy they are free and alive to enjoy it.
