It's not a swastika, it's the Buddhist symbol for peace, which the Nazi's stole and altered

That awkward moment when you're both wrong and it's originally a Hindu symbol.

Yeah the more I know ********.
Both symbols are actually called Swastika. (it's the name of the shape in general) One is the Nazi one and the other is the Buddhist one.

The one above is the Nazi one; the Buddist is the same except it's flipped horrizontally.

Just thought I'd educate your stupid ass:
The word swastika is of Sanskrit origin and the symbol is one of good luck or a charm or a religious symbol (the last, among the Jains and Buddhists) that goes back to at least the Bronze Age. It appears in various parts of the ancient and modern world. Workcited: http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/ancientart/f/swastika.htm

Holocaust was a 10 on the significance scale. What did the buddhists ever do that was as significant as the holocaust? You solve all ill will of man under the nazi flag, then you can have the swastica back, I don't think anything less is gonna make it resound as anything else to anyone that's not a pretentious cunt like you.
