Launch the holy Swastika

[ARYAN EMP]

When I wrote the thread " Stand against the ban on Swastika" , The game moderators have unjustly locked the thread, with out knowing the opinion of the others.
As a representative of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism I complain that this activity of the game moderators has hurt our religious sentiments.

I have also read the rule,
The rule says that because Hitler had used Swastika as his flag, the Swastika can hurt sentiments and can remind of them about Holocaust
But it is history, and now people are accepting new and original ideas so what is the harm in knowing the actual idea behind the swastika.
I also plead not to lock this thread because i want to know the actual opinion of all the nations

I fully accept the content and my opinion is to restore the swastika

[Eucadian Federation]

In the name of ancient and religious culture, I approve of this as well.

But,

SO long as it is not used in an offensive way.

[The Tiger Kingdom]

The creator of this site has made this extraordinarily clear that it's not up for debate.
And the OP should quit puppetwanking.

[Brocwika]

The swastika, along with toothbrush mustache, MUST be restored

I appreciate your effort and accept your opinion
Thank You

[The Eurasian Front]

Lifting the ban will only open the symbol up to fresh abuses from regions like the 'Greater' German Reich. Keep it off flags.

Thank You Brother

[With Teeth]

I voted no because I thought it would be fun.

OOC: NationStates is IC, so "the mods" don't exist. Post in a different forum to discuss site stuff. But as a free lesson, reread what was said to you before - Max owns the site and he says no, until he changes his mind it will never be permitted here. Whatever a swastika is meant to stand for, most of the world sees it only as a symbol of Nazi Germany now.

Thanks, man.

And OP, I don't appreciate not being thanked for giving my opinion.

Understand Brother it will not be so

Oh damn... Here we go!

[United Furry Alliance]

My opinion is that the symbol be used only for religious purposes and any use of it relating to Nazi ideals remain banned.

[Meryuma]

Indo-Iranian peoples should get their symbolism back.

However, this thread/this issue will never end well here.

[The United Earth Conclave]

The swasttika to the majority of people that actually know about this symbol i.e Jains, Hindus and Buddhists already use it. The only people that think the Swastika is offensive are the people who are ignorant towards it. The only people that use it as a sign of offensive ideology are fringe neo nazi groups which already teeter on the brink of extinction

This is a good idea

Nope. They know exactly what it meant in practicality.
Way to call the majority of polite society ignorant.

The only people that use it as a sign of offensive ideology are fringe neo nazi groups which already teeter on the brink of extinction

...And, you know, the Nazis themselves, who used it as a symbol of their regime as they slaughtered millions. As a result, a fuckload of people would rather not see it again. Can't really blame them.

[Testonia3422]

there are optical differences between hitler's hakenkreuz and the indian one, swastika is not = swastika. so the game should adopt at least the indian one. i'm german and i wouldn't use that symbols that shitler messed up. but i think in this - political - game EVERY symbol should be allowed. ss runes (hitler did not invented the symbol, germanic tribes did a long time ago) or hakenkreuz (originally indian) or sonnenrad (also invented by germanics a long time ago) or whatever.

[New haven america]

As long as it doesn't look like a Nazi flag, I'd be fine with it.(I was thinking of making my flag a swatstika a couple months aog' but changed my mind after reading the rules)

The Hindu Buddhist Jain And Sikh concepts about the Swastika is not same as that of the Nazis
