I believe i...I'm pretty much that way myself... I believe it better that people voice their opinions (ugly though they might be) than hide them away where they can cause real damage. I was a little shocked that other people had such strong views about it but, I guess, very little surprises me. This was just another of the countless dumb, repulsive, and utterly moronic things I see around me every day.TheSpinehttp://www.the-spine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729674823895661245.post-5352107152017403552014-10-03T11:45:58.000-07:002014-10-03T11:45:58.000-07:00So true, Elberry.

Perhaps it's more like my uncertainty to know what to think is because I grew up when punk was still fashionable and the swastika was always in evidence and didn't mean what it used to mean but was merely a taboo sign of rebellion. It was a thing of a particular fashion much like certain trendy types support people they'll feel ashamed at having supported as events play out over the next few years.TheSpinehttp://www.the-spine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3729674823895661245.post-1044591047577590912014-10-05T15:06:14.000-07:002014-10-05T15:06:14.000-07:00Most people don't think about their tats, they...Most people don't think about their tats, they just get them when drunk to impress their friends. i saw a scrawny looking white kid with a swastika tat on his inside wrist in Munich late at night, while queuing to buy beer (for a friend), bit riskier to have these in Germany but still i thought he was probably just a chav wastrel. It is strange that no one at Tesco noticed the tattoo and moved the guy to warehouse duties.elberrynoreply@blogger.com
