Answer 4

oh I misread it as "people saying my picture was a Nazi symbol" as if you did not believe it

but it is indeed a controversial symbol which many people dislike

but then again I got a bad message before for having the Harrypotter deathly hallows sign as my pic with some person saying I was worshiping satan because of it

Answer 5

Only chose it because...

1, I like History

2, I like how the symbol looks

Answer 6

but some people might interpret your picture as that you agree with the nazi's

Answer 7

I'm going to keep it real with you. If you wasn't my brother and I didn't know you. I would cuss you out then block you. Then create another account then come cuss you out once again, then found you in real life then smacked you.

Answer 12

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^6

Answer 13

@Conqueror change you pic its offensive

Answer 14

It's a swastika symbol. Ignorant people are just changing what it means. Just because Hitler used that symbol, that doesn't mean that it's a symbol about him or what he did. Swastika is a sacred symbol mostly for Hinduism and other religions. So they should read and learn stuff first before they judge people. Every little thing has a reason.

Answer 15

If you are Jewish....

Answer 21

Hitler himself knows that he derived the symbol from swastika

Answer 22

@Conqueror , I believe it is the Swastika. It is the Nazis sign. As you've seen something happen(People messaged you) I suggest you change your profile to something more nature or something else. I'm sure it'll offend some users. Again, please change your profile picture so we won't have any fights. Thank you.

Answer 27

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

Answer 28

Quoting as such from wikipedia,

"The swastika (also known as the gammadion cross or cross cramponnée) is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four legs bent at 90 degrees (as a Chinese character: 卐 or 卍).[1][2] It is considered to be a very sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.[3]

It appears as a decorative element in various cultures since at least the Neolithic, and is mostly known as a symbol in Indian religions, denoting "auspiciousness", adopted as such in pre-WWI-Europe and later, and most notably, by the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany. Because of its use in Nazism, in many Western countries the swastika is stigmatized,[4] while it remains commonly used as a religious symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism.[3]"

Answer 29

Thank you :)

Like @Conqueror, I love history too.
If you learn it, you'll be more openminded to things around you.
Whether they are good or bad, you know the reason behind them.
Jumping into conclusions won't help, it will cause more trouble.

Hitler was a German, so does it mean you'll hate Germans too?

Answer 30

Hitler was NOT german

Answer 31

@Chibi_Robo3

Answer 32

He was Austrian

Answer 33

But he moved to Germany. He spent most of his life in Germany. I'm not talking about his blood. If a person spent his/her life on a different country from the country where that person was born, that person will be known from the country where he/she moved. Let's say Canada, there were plenty immigrants. If they live there long enough, they can also be considered as Canadians.. if my logical is wrong then I'm sorry..

Anyway the point is, would you hate his whole race just because of what he did?

Answer 34

No, In fact I admire germany after WWII

Answer 35

I changed my picture to the future. Happy now ? ;-;

Answer 36

yes

Answer 37

yup
