<troll>
Why are atheists typically so damn smug? It seems to me that to be sure there is no God is as much a matter of faith as to actively believe in one (or many). The only truly rational...

I think it's ridiculous when a potato that looks like the Virgin Mary sells on ebay for more than the what I payed for my car, but I have to say, that's a remarkable image. *Especially* because it's...

I'd love to see a time-lapse photography sequence of this happening... time-lapse footage of plants growing is freaky.

Absolutely. That's why some of the most valuable exhibits in the holocaust museums are the documents that verify a Nazi conspiracy to systematically murder Jews, gypsies, and other 'undesirables'. I...

In that light, it all sounds pretty reasonable. Except for the part about a Europe-wide ban on displaying swastikas. File that under Useless Policies to Placate the Public.

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't went out on that extremely shaky limb that Jews might be offended by a gorup of people wanting to change the popular conception of a swastika to a symbol of peace.

No, it wouldn't be wrong for them to keep using it. I have no problem with Hindus using the swastika for their own culturally relevant reasons. And if all this is is a campaign to clear up...

It's an educated guess. Is it really that much of a stretch to guess that Jews will be offended by a scene of people making a swastika out of candles and calling it a symbol of peace? I'm not...

I didn't say it was fair that the Nazis appropriated their symbol in their quest for world domination. What I'm saying is that it's more important, now, for the symbol to stand for that episode in...

Well, as you mentioned, it's probably had 5000 meanings in the past. What's important is, what does that symbol mean now, and to whom? Maybe you're right, that the millions of Hindus still use the...

I don't think this issue is about whether it can be done (which I doubt), so much as it is about whether it should be done. Your analogy to the symbol of 'xerox' falls a tad short, since few (if...

(edited to add this quote)


Because it's no longer a symbol of peace and well-being. How do you think Jews feel about that picture? People are still very sensitive to that symbol, as witnessed...

I don't think it's that strange, since just about everything in our culture is one symbol or another. Even the physical objects we surround ourselves do double duty as symbols (cars, clothes). And...

But did the Nazis first call that symbol a swastika, or were the Hindus already calling it that?

I find it almost impossible to believe that a bird 6 ft tall, weighing 200 lbs, would be able to get airborne, much less 'fly as well as any sea bird'. Do you have a reference to back that up?
