I am amused by his attempt to correct his info on the history but continuous to be belligerent. Note the symbol in question was the most pervasive religious symbol ever before it was adopted by a political party. If you beleve the cross was adapted from it then all the more respect. Of you remove one religious symbol than ban them all. I dot want to waste my time with this kind of thing but don't make it into am popularity contest. This should be about the game not ego. PS thismis ome of the first web sites in months I could not read on my web pad due to bugs. What do you guys think this reveled?

It's unfortunate that by hiding the symbol because it might offend and increase support issues (the latter of these I actually find to be a legit reason), it doesn't help strip the symbol of its offensive connotation to westerners. It ends up further retarding progress in reducing ignorance. If the Nazis used a big capital N as their logo, no one would consider the letter N to be offensive. The main reason it has such strong Nazi association is because that symbol is used in few other contexts in western culture, it's relatively rare (which may be a strong reason why it was chosen by the Nazis, it had little modern western cultural baggage, so they could define it). In contrast, one of the major western religion symbols is the t-shaped cross.
