I really hate that the Nazis used that specific flag and not someone a little less...hated... I just always though the symbol looked neat when I was small and then find out since the Nazis used it I can't ever wear it on a shirt or hat or anything.

The symbol wasn't associated with anything negative until the Nazis got ahold of it. It's actually an ancient, ancient symbol, used for millenia throughout the world. "Swastika" actually means "to be good." Hitler just twisted this to mean "for the race to be good" in order to implement his plans to create a master race.
Yes, it was also commonly used in Buddhist and other Middle Eastern religions as a symbol of peace. I believe it had something to do with karma, as it is shaped like a windmill, something along the lines of "what goes around comes around."
