Well wikipedia/google images quite clearly show that it is, so I don't know what to tell you... except to stop ignoring reality?evilthecat said:It's not the wrong colour, just like none of the flags I posted as examples for you are the wrong font.
That sounds like a really good question that you should take up with yourself:evilthecat said:Give me one legitimate reason why changing the colour of the flag would change its meaning? What has writing the double sig rune on a blue flag ever meant which might distinguish it from the more common black flag?
evilthecat said:Jihadists most commonly use the shahada written on a black or white flag, often embellished with swords or a circle in another colour (for example yellow, in the case of Al-Qaeda in Iraq).
evilthecat said:And you're not comparing like with like at all. The shahada is the most important prayer in Islam, it appears quite legitimately on the flag of Saudi Arabia (which is green).
Because you clearly seem to believe that magically a flag used by those who caused 9/11 becomes 'legitimized' when it's used in green instead of black or yellow.
Nope, it's a English/Norse runic script from between 550-750 AD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sowilo_runeevilthecat said:As mentioned, it's a German occult symbol from the turn of the 20th century. It has no relevance to American people whatsoever except that a person ignorant of its origin might read it as a letter 'S'.
And 26% of the entire English language is comprised of words derived from Germanic languages, so it's quite relevant.
Again.. please compare like with like. I know you were wrong first time and it's hard to deal with, but this is dumb and I can't be bothered with it.Mycroft Holmes said:So what you're saying is that you don't give a shit about Armenians, because they aren't Jewish? That's pretty insensitive of you to ignore a genocide brought about under an authority that used that flag.
So your argument is that symbols of Jewish oppression should never be used, but symbols of Vietnamese oppression are perfectly ok? Does this mean that you believe Jews inherently have more worth than the Vietnamese or the Armenians?evilthecat said:Considering that half a million civilians are estimated to have died in Vietnam due to the widespread of use of defoliants by the US, not even considering the effects of conventional bombing and actual military action in the country. I think we can safely say that that if you're going to follow this line of logic, then we should ban practically all national flags.
Ok so, you'd be fine with them using a swastika for their flag, because it was a national flag and despite being the flag of a country that caused a genocide it also has alternate significance. Good to hear it, I think a swastika would look great on a marine flag.evilthecat said:I'm not advocating that, because national flags have alternate significance, the double sig rune really doesn't.
Are you saying that you would doom the whole world to destruction by our alien overlords?evilthecat said:Yeah, and you should also support and allow paedophilia because theoretically if aliens arrived and threatened to blow up the planet unless you personally had sex with a small boy, you'd probably do it.Mycroft Holmes said:Is there still NO REASON to do it?
Well then I suppose its great for me that you never ever used the word unreasonable, so putting quotes around that and pretending you did is explicitly lying. What you actually said is: "There's absolutely no excuse or reason to use it."evilthecat said:"Unreasonable" doesn't ever mean that.
Reason(Noun): a basis or cause, as for some belief, action, fact, event.
Unreasonable(Adjective): Not guided by or based on good sense and or beyond the limits of acceptability/fairness.
There is a quite distinct different between saying "unreasonable" and saying "absolutely no reason."
What circumstances? You assume you know absolutely everything there is to know about the background of this incident and the Sniper Scouts over the course of 30-40 years. That's a lot of knowledge to have about something pretty inane. Far more knowledge than can be garnered from reading a single news article.evilthecat said:It means unreasonable for the circumstances, for the world we happen to live in and the prevailing context in which these actions might occur. It is unreasonable in that world, and no shitty attempts to invent hypothetical scenarios will cover for that.
And as part of the symbol of the band Kiss. And as a flag for Scout Sniper for some 30-40 years. Which are examples I have gotten from this thread alone, I'm sure there are more out there.evilthecat said:Seriously, it's an SS flag. It has no meaning except as an SS flag
The 'Right' in its current usage in the US refers to those who belief in a set of policies that reduce expenditure in the public sector by government forces and reduce taxes as well. Nazi Germany was characteristically Socialist(Obvious to anyone who took the time to learn that Nazi means National Socialist German Workers' Party.) Their rise was marked by increased taxation on the population, and the heavy control and taxation of businesses in order to support a series of welfare and infrastructure projects to support the growth of a middle class. Actions that are explicitly anti-right wing.evilthecat said:and symbol of the extreme right.
Yeah you're right. Because as the forums etymologists have mentioned before it's a English/Norse runic script from between 550-750 AD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sowilo_runeevilthecat said:It's not even latin script. You aren't going to change that through denial.
What does this have to do with anything besides your imagined belief about what I'm saying? You should probably try taking a fucking hour to actually read the thread before you spout a bunch of bullshit.evilthecat said:If you can't maintain respect for people who make mistakes because they also do an incredibly difficult job under extreme pressure, then I'm sorry to point out that planet Earth is inevitably going to disappoint you. Noone is perfect, and if you're willing to forget that because it's more comforting to imagine that your military personnel can do no wrong, then I think you've lost the right to try and lecture anyone about genocide.
