Does this apply to those of us who live in a Buddhist country?

In India they have no problem opening a shop named Hitler so I doubt they would take offense at that.

Seems highly unlikely that bitcointalk is full of Buddhists. It seems to me that people are simply testing the line, because they are anonymous and won't get shitkicked as they would in real life.

I'm not buddhist, but I'm aware that the swastika in question is a Buddhist symbol. Draw whatever lines you like, but it really just shows ignorance on your part.

If the Buddhist symbol was something else, it wouldn't be waved around so much as people like you try so desperately to protect its innocence. It just seems like someone is trying to advertise it, wave it around in our faces while saying "OH BUT IT MEANT SOMETHING ELSE 10,000 YEARS AGO". It's testing a line, and it's disrespectful. Try pulling that shit in real life, and you'll find yourself in a body bag pretty quick.

And what would it tell about the people putting him in a body bag?

I tried to resist the temptation to participate in off-topic, but failed miserably. Sorry, please bear with only one swastika-related post from me.

1) Swastika is totally okay whichever way it's turned or rotated. Only morons can be insulted by a mere symbol.

2) Instead of raging against symbols, they should instead rage against actual neo-fascist and otherwise neo-totalitarian regimes currently emerging, particularly neo-fascist USA and neo-soviet EU. Just look at these regimes and try to extrapolate the current trend of their development. It may be too late to revolt when Orwell-ishness of the state becomes obvious enough for the brainless majority to realize.

3) And about this cheap propaganda...

It's funny how so-proclaimed "religious tolerance" doesn't extend beyond Abrahamic religions. To those who are at least vaguely familiar with satanism, this phony picture is even more laughable than Reefer Madness.

Hello, might I remind you that you are using the internet? You are bound to see things from the other side of the world that don't know anything about you and frankly don't give a shit about your existence. Not everyone here is trying to make a point and most of the things you think people are trying to do to "prove something" or "test a line" are just delusions of your ego about self importance.

Now please, back to ASICMINER. Board members always had more info than other shareholders. Any news from any of them about what is happening?

About divs. Low but expected I presume? another week of spending the coins on more shares?

I see dividends at the same level as last week (and two weeks before that). Sells are still very good, many resellers are reporting that they are out of stock even when friedcat is sending like crazy

If you wanna be judged by burocracy and other stubborn people for using swastika symbols independently of their historical meaning or their personal meaning for you come to Germany. There they have to deal with a not so ancient history linked to that sign. The rest of the world should be more open minded.

my guess for this weeks div is somewhat between 0.008 and 0.009...

Truth is a consensus among neurons www.synereo.com

The only ones giving the Nazi R-Swastika any meaning and power these days are people being offended vicariously by it. If you're not offended yourself, the best thing you can do is to ignore it and let it go so it loses its hold on society and culture.

Give it a rest and give me information about ASICMiner.

Fair point but is it necessary to list all the possible exceptions, those who can't walk? those who don't live near a city? those in a boat? those who are actual nazis? etc.

Lmao.

ASICMINER really needs a better place to find the latest news and updates than this thread. 666 pages of nerdy internet warriors.

I never said I would be the one doing it. This doesnt make me a self proclaimed warrior of any kind.

Thanks to FNG for posting the 2 symbols side by side http://www.flickr.com/photos/49337086@N07/4525274963/
Like what bitsalame pointed, the Nazi one is in the opposite direction. If you imagine air blowing out of the legs, the Buddhist one will be turning clockwise, while the Nazi one anticlockwise.
Don't mistake them to be the same, might probably be quite offensive to Buddhists (I'm not one).

Well being clockwise isn't really a rule. There are plenty of Swastikas counter-clockwise on Buddhas' statues.
It can actually be either way, but never rotated 45 degree.
The Nazi symbol, on the other hand, is always counter-clockwise (it is turning to the left - get it?)

Btw, with this post I open the 666 page, so in honor to that:

PS: the inverted cross is also a modern bullshit, it originally meant the symbol of humility.
St. Peter was crucified inverted because he considered unworthy of dying like Jesus.

Shrug. Buy me the shirt and I'd do it (and post pics). Also, I live in NYC so I'm sure it would generate some interesting conversations. Want to know what I would not wear?

What do you mean by "re-defined worldwide"? So you're entitling your ignorant western culture as "worldwide"? Damn arrogant prick.
If you go to China, Korea, Japan, and other Asian countries, you will see the Buddhist swastika ON STREET SIGNS which means that there is a Buddhist temple nearby. The ancient original meaning of the symbol is intact today, it has always been a sacred symbol and it still is today.

Also the design of the Nazi symbol is different from the Buddhist one, the Nazi version is literally twisted, a very fitting metaphor for a fucked up regime. It is turned 45 degrees, the legs are pointing to the right within a white circle and surrounded by red.
If you really don't know how to tell the difference is because you are an ignorant, and you live are surrounded by ignorants.
The amusing part of seeing stupid people applying ad-populum fallacies is when it is obvious that their 'populum' is so sadly restricted.

And the sad thing is not that they are ignorant, because nobody is born knowing.
The saddest thing is that they reject knowledge and attempt to defend their ignorance to protect their miserable self-esteem.
It is pathetic.
