Doug,
Thanks for the debate and the fair play.
I hope you are not mixing up Spain and Portugal, right?... Just neighbors, but different nations.
True they also lived under a fascist dictatorship for about the same number of years we did in Portugal, they had Franco, we had Salazar, quite a few other similarities but a lot of differences too... Anyway, Portugal is an independent nation since 1143.
Anyway, back to the topic, which is the symbols, swastika or hammer and sickle. Personnaly I don't see the hammer and sickle as a symbol of evil, but I see the swastika as a symbol of evil because for me there is a huge difference between both theories.
After a couple of posts considering this a lost of time, and worst, provocative as well as innacurate and showing some lack of knowledge, I prefer to end here my posts for this thread.
Doug, let's keep it private as it bores some other members, sorry guys
Please read my email.
Again thanks for the open mind and the fair play even if we disagree,
Dolf
