considering the conotations to that symbol in recent history, it's a bit
naive to say that it's related to budhism etc anymore. at least not to
anyone who isn't a budhist.
try going to germany and walking around with a t-shirt with that. the
least that can happen to you is to go to jail. if you go to a neighborhood
where a group of punks is chilling, you might not make it alive. (except
in some cities in the east, then they'll offer you beer and shave your
hair)
I wonder what buddhists and hindus do in Germany. Its a common symbol
in Buddhism and Hinduism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
Banning symbols is a silly thing to do, IMHO. The swastika was not the
problem, it was what people did. Bans just make people believe they are
doing something useful instead of actually working on the problem.
Guess we should switch to pd-ot...
