Hi Peeps!

If you would be so very kind I am trying to establish how many people recognise what a specific symbol refers to. I would be very grateful in this data gathering process, if you would leave a message saying 'Yes' or 'No' (as to whether you recognise it!) and then a brief answer of what you believe the symbol is for.

Only then, having kindly done this for me, I would like you then watch link underneath it.

Please do this properly guys!!

Thank you so very much

Col.

OK...here's the image - please answer first.




Now having left your answer, have a look this! - Thank you!

Perhaps they are not educated enough to realize the significance of the symbol?

It's actually a Runic Symbol for the letter "S" hijacked by Hitler for his Schutzstaffel.

The history of the Swastika goes way back to the Indus Valley Civilization of Ancient India as well as Classical Antiquity, not Hitler, but everyone thinks instantly Nazi Party!

Well I'm 60 years old and a history buff so of course I know what it represents.


But what's your point, Nate?


Heck, even paranoids have enemies.

The point Ray is America bashing again. A bunch of Jarheads have a similar logo for the Scout Sniper team in their unit... It gives some here an opportunity to throw rocks at us. They seem to forget that our bizzare sense of humor has Anglo origins...

Funny Ade, I was thinking the same thing.

Ah yes, the stuff of dreams. A 1970 Chevelle SS with the 454 CU engine. Enough to make an old, er older, man tear up.




I wonder what the kids of today's generation are going to get hard-ons over.

Prii?

Riiiiight!

Wooo, oooooo, look at all them volts!







( What? Ain't that plural for Prius? )
