Wasn't it an acient egyptian symbol before the Krouts used it

Hindu mainly but also LOTS of other cultures

[Martin_1962]

Well done Doog!!

In my book you did exactly the right thing, and I am sure the lad will not do it again as he will know how wrong it is

However, will his parents know enough to educate their young son?   That is my worry!!

There is far too much ignorance about the Nazis, and that is one reason why, whenever I can, I bang on about that terrible period of history, not caring what people think of me!  The young must know!

Time to reclaim its original meaning.

Also the Native Americans used it a lot

Black one on white circle on red rectangle - wrong

Carved on Hindu temple, Red  Indian clothes - right

We may have missed the point here, what game were they playing.....?

CoD: World at War? 


anyway i'd have done the same - maybe he learned something today - well done 

[russ0205]

I would have done the same, As it does stand for other things the liklihood of that and the fact that the german one will be more in the minds at that age,
Well done good on ya a parent with sense,

Since so many are saying they would do the same I'll nail my colours to the mast.

Yes, I think you over-reacted.  Unless you personally suffered at the hands of the Nazis and he knew that, a "word of advice" would have been much more appropriate IMV.

i agree a word of advice and explanation of what the symbol means would have done  but as you say your house your rules

Being totally honest, I don't agree with him having the Nazi symbol on him, but it wouldn't have bothered me that much, probably wouldn't have even mentioned it  :-/

fair play but obviously you are not sure if you was right hence asking if we agree 

[JamesV6CDX]

Fair enough Doog - your house, your rules.

Probably not worth asking people if they thought you over reacted, though - as it sounds like you are convinced you did the right thing

All the generations of today either have suffered, or are suffering from the actions of the Nazis.

Various familiy members have been missing due to them in many families; the country was brought to its knees and ruined by the Nazis, which still affects us today either financially, materially, or psychologly; a whole generation was "damaged" by war, and that has impacted on us all today, including our children, with the family, social, problems of now originating to WW2!

So, yes we have all been affected by the Nazis, and we are still suffering from their activities!

at the time of the post i thought " shit should i have done that "  but having had time to think about it i am convinced i was right  so hence to first post made by me

to be honest id rather it had not happend but i wasnt prepaired to ignore it
it is perhaps one of only a few things i would object to and to be fair to the lad ive probably done him  a favour cos he wont do it again.
