Interesting. So even if the swatsika is protrayed as a bad thing (to the point of practically being a bullseye) it's banned.
So...can you have swastikas in Textbooks? Perhaps 100 years from now the Holocaust will be forgotten. Of course, that'll make Tim May happy because then it could happen all over again.
So a question for you: If I want to write a book on the history of the swastika, or teach about the holocuast in Germany, do I need a license or something? (And let's just assume I have a "politically correct" view.)
Jew groups have "demanded" that Microsoft modify its symbol font sets to remove swastikas.
Part of a CNN report on this flap:
"The swastika, which was made infamous by Nazi Germany, was included in Microsoft's "Bookshelf Symbol 7" font. That font was derived from a Japanese font set, said Microsoft Office product manager Simon Marks.
"Microsoft said it will release other tools at a later date to remove only the offending characters.
"A form of the swastika has been used in the Buddhist religion to symbolize the feet or footprints of the Buddha. The symbol, which was also used widely in the ancient world including Mesopotamia, Scandinavia, India and the Americas, became common in China and Japan with the spread of Buddhism."
So, the racialist demands of a sect of dreidl-spinning weirdos is now being used to affect even academic scholarship: the day will soon be upon where swastikas are removed even from Buddhist, Scandinavian, Indian, etc. texts, and where scholars who wish to write about them must blank out they symbol and refer to it as the "s symbol," analogous to the way negroes freely call other negroes "niggers" and "niggaz" and "nigga hoes," but "demand" that whites refer to the words as "the n word."
Now that the Jews dominate Germany once again, time for book burning of any book which offends the Jews?
