For one thing, the Swastika used to be a symbol of peace before the Nazi's
Bastardized it, and for another, ascii art is ascii art, chances are if
you read this group long enough you're going to be offended by something.
If you don't like it, why not start a "alt.ascii-art.pro-censorship"
newsgroup?

I really don't care, and usually I don't get offended by all the
annoying assholes.   But when some fucking moron goes around trucking a
swastika, i usually get pretty pissed off.  And I'm usually a nice guy. 
But I really don't want to have to deal with bigots.  Try going to a
different newsgroup to talk about nazis.  Just my opinion though.

This is really not relevant. To those people and their families who were
unfortunate enough to have had their lives shredded by Hitler, it will always
be a symbol of horror. Most people who did not have the original peace symbol
as a part of their normal lives, and who have any compassion will see it the
same way.

However,

This is the reality, and the net being what it is, a person could spend many
unproductive hours being angry and offended. One has to make a choice - either
move on and learn to live with it, or unhook the modem.

	this is a free newsgroup, so, as long as we are not wayoff topic
everyone has the right to post anything. People should not get offended
unlesse the messages are directly meant to someone. Even "bad" people have
the right to use the internet, right? :)

	I hope not to be offending anyone with this, I really don't like what
this swastica symbol stands for, but ...

This is the symbol Hitler used ...

	If I'm not mistaken this was a tibetan symbol and tibetan priests or
Moncs (sp?) predicted the doom hitler would create, and his own final,
longer before he has became known to the world for his atrocities and
principals, because of it's misuse of this symbol. The wings have to be
directed left to be considered a symbol of anything good, peace in this case.

	I like this last one much better :)
