    scratcha - What does your avatar mean?

    I'm a little confused by your avatar image ...



    Are you some kind of neo-NAZI?

    Edited to add: oops, sorry - that should be 'scracha' ... my bad.

    The new flag as proposed by G.Dubya ???
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Its a flag people fought and dies for that no one respects anymore.

    Really sad cause if someone did it to the NZ flag, there would be an uproar and lots of angry letters

    Than facing fearful odds

    Its a shame aye. When I last visited the US just about every store had the national flag flying high. Say what you like about the yanks but they have pride in their nation - very respectable.

    I don't actually think New Zealanders really care too much about our flag. Maybe the older generations.

    So you must ride a Jawa then, or maybe an IZH?

    I mean, I'm presuming that someone with such a love for the hammer & sickle would spurn bikes produced by the Evil Capitalists (TM)

    Not at all. Our intention is not to spurn such things. You are confusing Communists and Amish. Our intention is to take them over.

    EDIT: Though I did once own a Jawa. Noisiest motorcycle ever.

    Actually, Communist and Amish lifestyles are quite similar ... it seems to take the Communists about fifty years to bungle their way through destroying industry, science, power generation, etc.

    At least the Amish (unlike the North Koreans) have meat to eat and milk to drink

    I suspect Scracha may be taking the piss with his avatar and not actually making a statement of his own beliefs.

    Remember that the Swastika is in fact a benign Indian good fortune symbol.

    The cricifix is symbolic of a bloody inhumane way to kill people and yet is treated as a benign symbol....

    If this was a such a burning issue for you shouldn't you perhaps have flicked him a PM instead of starting a thread while he's absent? Hasn't been online since 2:10pm yesterday.

    And at least spell his forum name correctly!

    It dates back a lot longer than that matey. Used to be a religious symbol until Hitler altered it into the one we know today

    You've confused me bud. My statement referred to it's existence before Auld Adolf Dafttash got hold of it.

    So you're effectively backing up what I've said in the tone of someone correcting me.

    No wonder south Africans are an argumentative bunch - they sound like their arguing with you when they agree! :

    We're not here to argue it's specific origins but to state that it is not particular to Nazi tendancies.

    Also the Nazi party origins are as the National Socialist Workers Party...i.e. a lefty organisation - so communism and fascism aren't poles apart as some would have you believe!
