I think banning symbols such as the Nazi symbols , is just eliminating a part of history. I do think we should not allow any groups or parties use the symbol and ban it for that purpose.
But not ban the symbol out right. We may not like what some symbols represented but it is history that we should not forget or hide away. Quote:

We can hide all symbols in the world, nothing of what has happened in the past would be made undone anyway.

It is not the thread that I find silly, rather this talk in the European Union of banning this or that. History is history, and cannot be erased simply by proscribing symbols, flags, regalia and such. It is only by the open display or remembrance of these symbols, and by recalling their faults and misdeeds, that we can avoid the follies and mistakes of our forefathers.

Anyway, this banning of Soviet militaria reminds me of how in France and Germany, seemingly anything pertaining to WWII is banned. In Germany, Medal of Honor is banned because of, well, the fact that there are nazis. C'mon! It's history! And above all, it's all in the past, right? |
