You would have seen it all over Britain as well, if the Japs hadn't attacked Pearl Harbour ! Thank God for Audie Murphy and John Wayne.

The people who are offended by every little thing are r̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶n̶g̶e̶r̶s̶ Middle Endlanders.

If you have any doubt, check out any story in the Daily Mail.

The right whingers literally spend 24 hours a day being outraged at practically every story fed to them.

Must be physically and mentally exhausting.

But it keeps them occupied SP ! Think what it would be like if they didn't have the DM to take up all their spare time ....they might have time to go leafleting for UKIP !

As RandyMarsh says, it's everywhere in India.

I was there a few years ago with 3 friends. 3 of us understood that it was originally a sign of peace, but one of the guys was horrified and outraged that it was on buildings, flags, posters etc. He just couldn't see past the Natzi connection.

It's so sad that we just can't reclaim it. I do think it will forever be associated with the Nazis.

TTT It should be OK as a great example was set not so long ago by our esteemed Royalty in the form of Prince Harry.

I can't remember right-wing(or normal as I like to call them)people hopping up and down at the sight of Che or Hammer and Sickle logos.
They are often astounded at what Left-Whingers pretend to be offended by.

Actually I take that back. With their minute brains and narrow-mindedness they probably do get their knickers in a twist about nowt.

Believe me - have a look at the comments section of the Express, Telegraph or the Mail.

In the old days, they would be the kind of people who send letters written in purple ink.

Try saying anything negative about Thatcher, Farage or even worse, His.Royal Highness Jeremy Clarkson and see what happens to the right whingers.

It's like peeing on a war memorial. They go nuts!
