German politicians have called for Nazi symbols to be banned throughout Europe after Prince Harry was pictured wearing a swastika to a fancy dress party.

The Liberal group in the European Parliament argue all of Europe suffered because of the Nazis' crimes, so there should be a continent-wide ban.



why should we ban the swastika?  why should we hide from history and not allow certain symbols in a free society?

Christianity has sure done some dastardly deeds in history, why arent there calls to ban the cross symbol? :rolleyes:

f* germany!

it is a symbal and part of histoy, I have never understood the ban on it.


Seeing one is not going to make normal people nazis.



Did this start with the US ocupation in Germany after the war or did the Germans impose it on themselves?

Post by: JB88 on January 26, 2005, 01:21:13 PM
the romans tried very hard to ban the cross if i am not mistaken.

i have a tendency to think that banning things only makes them worse.  sort of like catholic school girls if ya know what i mean.

its interesting because i dont see the rising sun being banned anywhere and japan was an agressor.

so its the holocaust?  is that what its about?  is that what serves as the differentiator between the swastika and other symbols.

living in the south for the past 5 years, i have seen alot of this in regards to the confederate flag.

im opposed to its bannishment too.  not because i am a confederate, but because i think that when you add power to the symbol, the symbol gets more powerful.

interesting...after the civil war the north was great about allowing the rebs to pay tribute to thier leaders.  

in richmond VA, there is a street called monumemt avenue where there are statues of all of the southern generals and statesmen lining it.

recently they added another right at the end, arthur ashe, the tennis player who died of aids.

now thats the way to do it.

In our country its not forbiden to show swastika or other things related to nacism.

But propagation of nacism is forbiden.

So you can wave with nazi flag, and no problem.... but if you open your mouth and say... Naziiiiis are goood... then you have serious troubles.

Im not sure whats does mean  "Ban of swastika"  Swastika have some special meaning for us and all study books are full of it.  Im not quite sure what should be banned.

However i used to read on BBC few days ago, that Hindo in UK would like to change Europian view on symbol "Swastika"


Actualy ... is Mein Kampf banned  in your country ? (here it is, but people laugh on that Ban and consider it stupid)


Quote

But the director of human rights group Liberty told the BBC education would be more beneficial than a ban.

since we still have sutch people, i dont think that some bans will occure

If your rely only on the symbol to remember history you are IMO in trouble.

The symbol is forbiden here but it's also forbiden to forget ! and it's more important than a little symbol.

When making German WWII model aircraft, I likle the Swastika to be on them, just like they really did.

The 190 kit I'm making now ( French made) does not have the swastica's and that's gay.

Beyond that, I have nothing against the swastica in general. It was a symbol long before Hitler ever used it.

yes, I think that Göring picked it up during his travels in Sweden.
He married the close relative to Von Rosen, who used it as a symbol for his Family, taken from originaly India.

Exact same Symbol was on the Finnish airforce to Honour this person : Von Rosen

Wondering why the swastika should be banned is like burning a country's national flag and wondering why bystanders get upset and pissed off at you as you try to argue that it was just a piece of coloured cloth.

Furby, watch the rest of that Auschwitz series on BBC2/Tuesdays. Also visit the Imperial War Museum in Lambeth - the top two floors - Crimes Against Humanity. Then post back.

Thing is, the swastika has been around a lot longer then the Nazis.  The sounds that make up the word swastika are from sanskrit, and it has a nice history right up until some german fellas decided it fit their ideas of destiny and thousand year reichs.

Check out this history/article about the symbol:

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

I listened to a story on NPR about a gentleman who is frustrated that the hindu use of the swastika has essentially been erased in some parts of the world because of the Nazis and is trying to educate people to seperate the symbol from the people who used it.

Should it be banned?  No.  It's just a freaking symbol.  Symbols, like flags, don't mean anything unless there are movements of people supporting them.  To head off the inevitable argument at the pass, if a hindu uses a swastika as part of their religious observances, are they giving comfort and solace to neo-nazis?  

The KKK burned crosses and supported the erection of lit crosses above many towns as a means of intimidation by 'shining the light of christ' on blacks, does that mean the cross should be banned?  Of course not.

Seperate the symbol from the people.  This applies to the swastika as much as it applies to the cross.

The blue swastika was the good luck symbol used by the Swedish Count Erich von Rosen, who donated the first plane to the Finnish White Army during the Civil War in Finland. It has no connection to the Nazi use of the swastika. It also still appears in many Finnish medals and decorations, in a visually understated manner.


LOL,,  not connected at all to Nazi: Erich Von Rosens Sister was only married to a Herman Göring.........

true wombat.

but thats where people come in.

its one thing to rub someones face in it and another to say im not going to let it have power.

banning it only adds to its power.

IMHO.

and its not just the jews who got screwed by the nazi's.  how many boys did we lose?  how many did the brits?  when prince harry wore that swastica, my first judgement came from there.  it was more of an affrond to the english in that case, considering the germans bombing the hell out of london.

none the less.  

i am against banning symbols.

i feel that it gives them more power than they should have.

Stop asking to ban things that upset you.  In my opinion, it should not be baned.  It is an atempt by one of the 'civilized' nations to hide their past and present a diferent image of who they really are to the world.  They can sit there and pretend that nothing ever happened and it really it was not their fault because "They were just following orders".  It was all the creazy mans fault.  Its funny how the bigest criminals against the human race can sit back and acuse the US.

I think we should make the Germans whear the  swastika on their superior arse just like they did to others.  So, don't ban it because it emparases the people that are preaching to the US on how it should behave.  If we forget history, we will repeat it.

I also don;t need an excuse fro what the US soldiers are doing.  I am from Greece.  We commited our crimes a while back like a lot of others, but please do not compare Germany to anyone else.  They are in their own category all by themselfs.

I think it safe to say that for a none jew to understand this is like for me to try and understand what it is to be black.

Try as I may it is impossible but I can and will keep an open mind to it and If Black folks are offended buy the Rebel flag or what ever then so be it it's just a flag a symbol.

What is of more importance a symbol or respecting a peoples sensitivities and pains of there past?

WWII was a war which hurt everyone... pretty much all nations, religions, race, colour...

Just because one ethnic group does not like a symbol that should be available for educating future generations... it should be banned?

Wombat, not only the jews suffered or were sent to consintration camps.  Sure they out numbered everyopne else but don't exclude the rest.  Seing your wife and kid burn before you get shot is considered suffering in my book.  Also, I don't think its the Jews complaining but the superior race because it makes their perfect little image, not so perfect.

it is the symbol of possibly the major factor of the 20th century, it is featured in video, pictures, games, film, movies, propganda, WW2 relics and momento's.

You ban the swastika you ban all of those from being displayed and they will be mis-represented.

It is history... it happened... you should not have to change history to suit the view of a minority.

Perhapes I am sure it is a part of there history that they would like to forget and move on with.

I have friends that are German I cant hold hate for them for the sin's of the grandfathers how absurd would that be.

Fogivnes is grace and Germany has come a long way to make ammends to the Jew for wich I commend them.
And there attempt at banning swastikas is one thing that shows there maturity in this matter.

The fact that so many would get there feathers rufled over this because it might prevent them from have total historicle accuracy in the model kits or flight sims is assanine.

I think of the many still survivors of these camps who have the memories of there mothers and fathers being killed by the nazi's

So in closing is the Jew a little to sesitive about these things?
Yeah maybe but then again I think we have a right to be.

I can see banning the party, or neonazi organizations that would seek to actively harm a group of people. Or if you wrote it on the walls of a synagogue. OR went parading back and forth of one waving the flag and chanting "Heil Hitler" or otherwise going out of your way to be deliberately offensive to Jews, Hunagarians,gypsies, Poles,Jehovah witnesses, and Russians. (just to not forget the other 4-5 million that were interned in concentration camps and murdered by the Nazis)

 But banning a symbol is asburd.
Yes, it was the symbol of the nazi party. But not all Nazis were murderers either
And as far as I know a symbol never murdered anyone.

For that matter why dont we push for a ban on the German planes in this game? They are certainly representative of the nazi regime. I'd be willing to bet some of these planes were even flown by nazis. they all certainly swore an oath to one.

Thing is the symbol doesn't do the crime. Nor does it cause people to.

I would think that it should be kept around so that we never forget.
Banning it only closes our eyes to the events. Out of sight out of mind and all that.
This business of banning symbols. Being the Swastika there or the Confederate flag here or any other symbol  is more a show of oversensitivity then being simply sensitive to people.

Alot has to do with how recently these things happened also.
  Would you feel the same if people walked around saying "Hail Caesar" Or displaying Roman symbols?
I seem to remember they were less then kind to Jews and for that matter Christians also. enslaving them and Feeding them to lions as a source of entertainment.

I imagine 1,000 years from now nobody will bat an eyelash over such symbols and some other group will be complaining about insensitivity over some sort of injustice.

After all these things that happened haven't only happened to the Jews, or blacks, or Poles or Christians.

They are simply the most recent to have it happen to

for those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept of the readymade. they were first started by marchel duchamp who became famous for placing everyday objects in art galleries and calling them his art.  his most famous examples being a urinal and a stool with a bicycle wheel attached to the top.

he was highly influential to the dada movement which sought to demonstrate the obsurdity of everyday life through thier work.

the previous image was a readymade, in that it exists, but has only to be seen through the act of showing for the art reaction to occur.

i new i went to art school for something.

Funny thing is my sister lives in the south.
almost every time I visit her I am almost as likely to see blacks wearing or having something with a confederate flag on it as whites.

I've even met more then a few that are proud of being from the south and of the flag.

I remember working at an Apt complex place up here and was talking to one of its employees who happened to be black. when I heard the accent I asked "where you from?"

the responce
 "Aam from Vugenya"
"And yayaa  A'am a reb and proud of it"

Note that it's perhaps not a smart reaction.
