900+ million Hindus aren't disgraceful. | The farming symbol used in India is not rotated like the swastika.

"The swastika symbol was popular as a good luck or religious/spiritual symbol in the United States, prior to its association with Nazi Germany. The symbol remains visible on numerous historic buildings, including sites that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places."
wikipedia.. The US used it before germany..

media is just fucking around....
who cares if he has a swastika on his boat really.... just shows how well we've all been brainwashed over the last 60+ years
if it wasn't for the nazi's we'd still have Colonies and be slaves to Europe; then again if they had won the war we'd probably all be blonde and blue eyed and slaves to germany haha  | |

some people have missed the point and are defending the misuse of the swastika.
five boats are moored in false creek and are dumping shit into the water.
none of them have swastikas on them.
robertson makes a fuss about them, especially about the crappiest boat, the green one.
the boat's owner/operator gets offended and draws a swastika on the side of the boat in protest.
that last part shows that he's referencing the nazi swastika when he drew that swastika to protest against robertson's complaints against the boat. it's not like he's referencing the swastika as a religious symbol here.
and when you reference the nazi swastika, it's (imho) ethically wrong however much you think robertson and his ilk are nazis.
and, for example, when you couple that with some context (say the same swastika graffiti but this time on the side of a synagogue), then it becomes a hate crime.
furthermore, just because the swastika is a religious symbol as well, those who choose to display the swastika as a religious symbol should be cognizant to the fact that for most of the general population, the swastika is a symbol of the nazi regime and of hatred.

yea.. robertson is a tool.. he's complaining about 5 boats and just throws other stuff in to try and stir things up...
o. the owner took the signage off btw.. and the police also visited his boat and he wasn't dumping sewage into the water or something.. heard it on the news..
one more thing... ian robertson.. seriously... i don't know if he wants to power grab or afraid or what.. anyone else heard about the city wanting to change the PNE governing board to having 2 elected *read voters ELECTED* city councillors on the board.. and he's so against it.. lol
bill good did an interview with him and bill good grilled him on it haha
