1. Bush is responsible for over 100,000 deaths, but I go with the
Swastika by a few million more deaths...

4. Well, consider this:
Reagan, *'s role model apparently, denounced alternative energy as being obsolete.

This 'war on terra' is nothing more than fighting to usurp the world's oil for ourselves.

Without oil, MILLIONS and ultimately BILLIONS will die. In ways far more painful.

Peak oil is nigh; the official estimate that by 1997 our economy will be considerably hurt.

I say * and the non-compassionate conservatives are the worst of the two entities.

7. See post 4 for my clarification
I think the repukes are ultimately the greater evil. 24 years of slow but sure social re-engineering will soon culminate into the biggest disaster the world has ever seen.

10. I disagree, HT, because we are strong enough to stop them.
Are we not? We lost this one. So are we going to mope around saying this "slow but sure social re-engineering will soon culminate into the biggest disaster . . . " Bullshit. Nothing personal -- just, it's bullshit, darling. FIGHT BACK.

I do not believe that the current regime in this country can ever grow to rival the Nazi Party, and our country will never look like the Germany of the 1930s-40s.

22. Yes
There are several swastikas (sp?) spray painted on various objects in the park - trees, concrete drainage ditch, footbridge, sidewalk, etc.

So far as I know it is not local gang grafitti. Some of them have been there for quite some time.

8. From what I understand
the bush family had too close a relationship with the nazis. So it's a toss up in my opinion as to which is worse.

14. Usually it stands on its side
not on a corner like the Nazis put it:



That's on a Buddhist temple.

Sometimes it's joined up into patterns, like this:

20. Yep, it's a sun sign.
Usually used to symbolize the cycle of life. The Nazis reversed its direction, in a gesture of not-so-quaint symbolism.

15. The svastika is a good symbol in Asia
so the W is definitely more hideous

21. Don't mix up to two Swastkas
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 12:05 PM by MrScorpio
The Nazis used the REVERSE swastika, which is a perversion of the ancient Asian symbol of luck and good fortune.

The points of the Asian form face the left, not right.

Please do not mix up your Swastikas.

I picked B, because I can't stand fucking Nazis and despite the fact that "W Stands For Boooosh", W is also the first letter of my last name.
