Germany was a world wide threat, the United Nations was formed in an effort to make sure nothing like that happens again, the very least we could do is make sure that whole nazi thing isn't forgotten. You can wear whatever symbol you want but people are going to question it, if you're only doing it for ****s and giggles or just to be offensive then congrats, you'll probably offend someone.

I picture Lord Larehip as one of those sensationalist fanatics with a minivan covered in conspiracy theory related stickers. On weekends he hangs out in busy parts of town with a megaphone, picket sign, and a vest covered in pins similar to the stickers on his car. He also has pamphlets. Lots and lots of pamphlets. No one ever really pays much attention...

^ So who DOES run the media.

Say it

Even the most conservative estimates by scholars place it at 20 million. A good round number would be about 30 million people that died under the Maoist regime in only 3 years.

It's not that they don't care, there just isn't enough time nor does anyone have enough energy to stand for everything they believe in. Sooo, they pick the things most popular/relevant(generally dictated by the media) and make heads roll.

The government and big business obviously.

Here's 90%:

They should pay some attention. Even if the guy is off his rocker there is some bit of truth to a lot of conspiracy theories. The increasing lack of education and apathy surrounding the decisions our government makes is stripping us of our freedom. I hope I'm dead before it gets too bad.

Ah, I see. So if a country isn't this "world wide threat" then it doesn't matter how many millions they kill. Sorry, can't help being offensive.

That's the same thing as saying they don't care. If they cared, it would be on their minds. If it isn't then how much can they possibly care? Because the media told them they must care. Isn't that exactly the point I've been making??

This is aside from the fact that opposition to the swastika is a first amendment issue because if I cannot publicly display one without being attacked either verbally or physically regardless of why I am displaying it then that is censorship--plain and simple. If you favor stigmatizing (read as censoring) the swastika then you may as well favor replacing "n-igger" with "slave" in "Huck Finn" and putting parental advisory stickers on CDs. You may as well admit that the people who tried to ban Burroughs' "Naked Lunch" had a point. The displaying of a swastika in public is, in fact, far less harmful than any of these other instances that liberals would immediately jump up to defend.

How often does someone have to have a given topic on their mind to justify them caring? You seem to be asking of us what isn't humanly possible.

I don't donate to any causes. To steal from a famous quote, I try my best "to be the change I want to see", and to me that is plenty. I support the fight against animal cruelty by not beating animals. I don't think about it regularly or contribute in any other way. That doesn't mean I don't care.

the first amendment gives you the right to freedom of expression. it doesn't dictate how people will react to your expression. if someone physically attacks you for it then that is illegal. if they just get offended and call you a racist dick then that is not. your rights are not being violated here.
