I'm curious, what is he supposed to take from your "tone"?
All you do is be an asshole to people.
Tone from text, hilarious.

Doesn't have anything to do with "peace" AFAIK, for it's a sun symbol. And for many, it's a good deal more auspicious with the feet of the gammadion going the other way, so the symbol is "walking" sunwise. Everybody but the Nazis used it with one foot flat on the floor, while the Nazis made use of it cocked at forty-five degrees.

As a sign of trouble and doom, it'd be hard to beat a sun-symbol, black, going backwards.

The swastika has been around for thousands of years. I am always a little surprised when I see one, and I have to take a moment to remember that swastika does not automatically mean 'nazi'.

During World War II, the provincial government sought to change the town's name to Winston, in honour of Winston Churchill, but the town refused, insisting that the town had held the name long before the Nazis co-opted the symbol. Residents of Swastika used to tell the story of how the Ontario Department of Highways would erect new signs on the roads at the edge of the town. At night the residents would tear these signs down and put up their own signs proclaiming the town to be "Swastika".

Back when dictionaries used to be made of paper, the last word in the 'f' section was usually fylfot - meaning 'fill foot' - it was used to 'fill the foot' of a window.

I am so pissed about this waste of our tax dollars to pander to morons, it is disgusting.

*wipes brow* good, and i was worried you couldn't find enough things to be angry and bitter about on such a beautiful day as today.

I think we should ban the use of the period/full stop in punctuation. It's a round dot like the Japanese flag and we usedto be at war with them.

It is hilarious that you contribution to the board is to bitch about what others have to say LJ. You keep up that righteous indignation, it sure warms the cockles when you have nothing worth saying to contribute.
Beautiful days do warm the sand for sticking you head in, true.
