i was at the irvine spectrum the other day and there was a bamboo kiosk thing that had a bunch of swastika's on it... i asked the owner of the kiosk and he said it's an ancient korean tradition. heh. the nazi's just ruined it for everyone, kinda like how people associate gay's with rainbows. its just a bunch of colors.

anyway, i wiki'd this.. apparently, the swastika is big in india too. i think asian one's are backwards, but whatever.

It's the Nazis who used it backwards. Traditionally it's a symbol of peace in Buddhist culture. Ironically enough.

Ditto. The Nazi's made it a bad symbol in modern America and Europe. I didn't know what to think when I got to Japan and saw them. Then, I started getting more into the culture and educating myself on it more. It is truly all about being educated and knowing the true meaning of things.
