    "I sometimes think that allowing a symbol to be claimed by a hate group is itself a racist act. For instance, what if you happen to be that one random guy that thinks a Swastika looks cool, wants to paint it on your car, and doesn't sympathize with Nazis in any way? Then I realize that technically, assuming that guy is a Nazi because of the symbol on his car is actually really unfair in some sense."

    Keeping this beautiful powerfull symbol related to the Nazi's is just about they wanted... fear and hate.

    If 'we' start using this symbol again from its ancient perspective as it symbolises the winter and summer solstices and the spring and autumn equinoxes, we would gave rebirth to this beautiful symbol.

    For years I keep saying that is long time to re-use the swastika as a powerfull and above all beautiful symbol .

    Asian symbols, and writing letters have never been used in Europe.. So even if this symbol means something else in Asia, it still makes references to the people who don't know it's original meaning. I don't see any good reasons to start using this symbol now, JUST because it looks just like the nazist former leaders symbol. It's like eating a fish you didn't really like to begin with.. But you do it anyways, because you found out, that some people actually thinks its disgusting.....

    Sorry guys, things change. I don't care if it's upside down or backwards – it's finished. Goodbye swastika.

    Ah drop this anti-racist multicultural bullshit! Some people are more, some less evolved. We need to guide less evolved and not treat them as equals. Only then you will see world peace.

    You should make shirts that have a similar message to this website. I'm sure people would buy them, and wear them, and it would spread the message pretty effectively. I'm sure there are tons of people that don't know anything about the history of the swastika.

    Plus, the symbol is pretty snazzy. :-)
