You sure come up with some interesting topics here!

Yeah, swastika blah blah blah. I was waiting for that. Maybe there’s a way to un-swastikulize it. I don’t know. Any ideas?

mmm… possibly can’t be done. Not quite the best analogy.. but that’s like trying to reassociate the cross with roman-style justice, and not christianity or the idea of a certain type of sacrifice.

It would probably take a very long time before that’d be erased from the collective consciousness. Nobody wants to even be standing next to that symbol(or anything that looks like it for that matter) on a street corner, for fear someone may think that they are somehow associated with it, or approve of it being there… or even just don’t mind it. It also doesn’t help that the neo nazis are still using it.

The Taiwan EPA requires that imported dry batteries display “recovery marks” to indicate the necessity of proper disposal.

A man enters a bar and orders a drink. The bar has a robot bartender. The robot serves him a perfectly prepared cocktail, and then asks him, “What’s your IQ?” The man replies “150″ and the robot makes conversation about global warming factors, quantum mechanics, spirituality, biomimicry, environmental interconnectedness, string theory, nano-technology, and sexual proclivities..

Very impressed, the customer thinks, “This is really cool,” and decides to test the robot. He walks out of the bar, turns around, and comes back in for another drink. Again, the robot serves him the perfectly prepared drink and asks him, “What’s your IQ?” The man responds, “about a 100.” Immediately the robot starts talking, but this time about football, NASCAR, baseball, supermodels, favorite fast foods, guns, and women’s breasts.

Really impressed, the man decides to give the robot one more test. He heads out the door and returns. The robot serves him and asks, “What’s your IQ?” The man replies, “Er . . . 50 . . . I think.” And the robot says… real slowly …………..

“So………….. ya gonna vote for Bush again?”

well, i was kinda kidding

Oh yeah, I know. But its something taht would obviously come up for other people. Just thought I’d put it out there and see how long it took to come up. Obviously not long.

Anyway, my re-created version of it is a little different from the size and relationships of the symbol I copied it from. It might make sense if it is from Taiwan, because they probably wouldn’t have the same cultural association with the swastika as us.

I was waiting for that.

happy to oblige

BTW above link is wrong make that http://www.manwoman.net instead

that’s why i provided the link to http://www.manwomen.net, he is trying to “reclaim” the swastika, I agree thats something important that needs to get done

if the nazis had used a spiral or a triangle instead would those be off limits now? I sure hope not.

It’s cool that it also forms arrows pointing outwards, like energy spiralling in and then being released again.

Oh, you mean in the negative space, with white arrows? I totally missed that. Good eyes.

i do love the symbol, though. it’d look nice on a nifty red armband t-shirt.

There. Now nobody else can do so without copying me! Nyah nyah!
