              Love the ignorance. It is not a Swastika. It is an ancient Indian religious Symbol! Think before you Ink.</SPAN>

                Ignorance? Pretty sure the general population on this forum would assume that to be a swastika. And I'm pretty sure, that unless you are Indian or a very culturally astute person, you would not recognize that as an "ancient indian religious symbol." I'm also pretty sure that Laker_crazy knows that people don't know the origin of the symbol...So my question is this: why would you put out a symbol so obviously and easily associated with Nazism and hate if you didn't intend that to be the response?

                I am much more relieved to find out that it is indeed a religious symbol rather than a promotion of the nazi party. but still the question remains, why is it necessary to have it at all, if it will be so commonly confused? completely unnecessary and still offensive.

                  Well, to be fair, this symbol was around for ages before Hitler adopted it. Why would someone give up their own heritage just because some loser adopted it for stupid cause. It is important for us to educate ourselves than to tell someone else to change their culture. If some lunatic adapted the cross for wrong reasons, would you tell the Christians to not post it cuz it is offensive to people?

                    I'm not asking anybody to give up their heritage. I don't understand the need to use a symbol that is so easily confused with evil on a sports betting forum. It's not a subtle icon either, it is a huge swastika symbol. And, whether you are using it in the context of Nazi Germany or Ancient Indian religion, the proper term for the symbol is swastika. I'm not attacking anybody's heritage. I'm simply wondering why someone would promote a swastika symbol so generically, if they didn't wish to invite discussion on Nazism. Just doing it to promote your own culture, in light of the fact that you know so many people will take it offensively, doesn't make it acceptable in my mind at all. Be respectful to those who are "ignorant" and think he is referring to Nazi Germany and the tragedies associated with it.

                    There is a difference between "some lunatic" adopting a cross as a symbol and the atrocities that came from Hitler and the Nazi party in the 1930's. You can't just extrapolate a hypothetical that will be on par with the greatest tragedy in the history of human existence.

                      So... Laker_Crazy change your avatar (actually swastika is an ancient Greek symbol, not an Indian one), unless you want to be like the other nazi-boy→Lakerboy.

                      And it might has a meaning that only a few understand, but as The Architect has already noticed, most of the guys here recognize this as Nazi symbol.

                      I am not the one who will tell you what to do, but i think you have to change this.

                        Dude, LC is Indian and I am sure he is proud of his heritage. You can't censor him just cuz this symbol is offensive in th western world. This symbol is used in hindu rituals and weddings. Are u going to tell them to take it out? I am sure LC will say why he posted this symbol.

                              You're not thinking about it the right way. It's not censorship. It's consideration for other people. Posting something just because you are "politically correct" about something doesn't take away the outstanding effects it will have on people due its content and it doesn't make it right, either.

                                No, I don’t think you are looking at it the correct way. In the Western world, people always want others to change things if it is not their norm. Instead of educating themselves and finding out about other cultures, they want others to change their ways. This symbol is offensive to Jews and sacred to Hindus. Are the hindus responsible for making this symbol an offensive one? Why should they give it up, because others are lazy to learn about it. I guess we have different ways of looking at things. I am sure LC has a reason why he has it on his avatar. </SPAN>
                                Anyways, what are the picks for tonight?</SPAN>

                                            I didn’t take anything personally. I was just perplexed why an ancient symbol that means ‘goodluck’ as LC pointed should be given importance in a negative light. The Nazis took the symbol and made it an offensive one. I get it that it is an offensive symbol to many. But my point was that this symbol was long there before Nazis. It is an ancient symbol which means totally something else. And the symbol Nazi’s use is a bit different than this. I live in the Western Hemisphere and it is not the first time people have questioned this. I always feel that people should be fully informed before calling out someone.</SPAN>

                                            Sorry LC for cluttering your thread with this. I apologize. I’ll end this chatter with this post.</SPAN>

                                            Good luck on your plays. </SPAN>

                                                      LAKER_CRAZY'S TWO NBA PLAYS FOR TONIGHT ( 14/11/2012)

                                                      ( 2 UNIT PLAYS)

                                                      1) Detroit Pistons Vs Philadelphia 76ers ( Pick Game Totals UNDER 186 @ -110) : I Think these two teams will not set the scoreboard on fire tonight and i see this game close to 180 odd points,i am taking the under here.Good luck

                                                      2) Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics ( Pick Utah Jazz + 5 @ -110) : I Think the Jazz front court will make this a fist of a contest and i honestly do see them causing trouble to the celtics tonight,i am gladly taking the points here. Good Luck

                                                      Cheers,

                                                          Good luck on your plays.
                                                          This'll end here. I wasn't calling anyone out..I simply was wondering why he had a swastika as an avatar. I wasn't accusing him of being a Nazi or anything extreme like that..Now I know it represents a good luck charm in Indian culture. Either way, I still think it to be rather insensitive, but to each his own I guess. I'm not here to police the board and argue over a silly little picture. Good luck on the rest of your plays, this was an engaging argument, so thanks for that I guess, LOL.

                                                          My apologies for the clutter, as well. back to business! glad to see you posting plays again, Laker_crazy. Take it easy!

I hope you didn't take any of this personally, as well, because those were not my intentions. I have no idea where you are from. I also have no idea why Laker_Crazy has a swastika as his avatar. But that doesn't make me ignorant; nor does the fact that I am from the western hemisphere. This website does not only exist in India or the eastern part of the world. It is a global forum. That's why I think the respectful thing to do is to not have a huge swastika as an avatar, regardless of the intentions. It will offend people, myself included, and for what purpose? To try to prove the point that westerners have a selfish and uneducated attitude toward world culture? So that you can label people ignorant when they say they are offended by a swastika symbol? Seems like it's well worth it, dude. good job.
