    Native American symbol hijacked by the goddamn Nazis. I still fly a swastika flag over the Wigwam. Fuck off if you don't like it.




    You returned the first blankets for not being “clean”.

    Now the imports are the wrong style?

    @swaye does not discriminate based on ideology.

    There were some state side Nazi's who were POW during WWII. Evidently when they died they were allowed to determine what their gravestone inscription would be. Two of them evidently stuck with the Nazi theme and now people want to erase those gravestones from the military cemetery. I find the practice that allowed those graves to be buried there odd but I am against book burning, toppling statues and trying to "erase" and whitewash history so that the past mirrors the FEELINGS of those who arrogantly believe they are the judge and jury of such things.

    Just curious what others think.

    You don’t punctuate plural’s with apostrophe’s.

    Swastikas STAY for many of the reasons you mention. Table turned, if Great Gramps were buried in German military cemetary with a big ass "GO USA MOTHERFUCKER" stamped on his headstone and some German fuck got his feelings hurt - too bad.

    If the Nazis were running Germania now, you can bet your Ute ass that Gramps wouldn't have a burial site at all, much less with a marker indicating anything other than pure fielty to the reich.
