Who cares if the symbol or variations of it have been around for thousands of years? Were any of you around pre Nazi days and remember when it was used as a symbol for peace or whatever? The symbol especially associated with Germany has had for the last sixty plus years, no positive connotations for most of the world's Western Internet population who would be likely to see it.

sorry
the part your missing is it wasnt "especially associated" with nazi's , your right for a few years they used it to spread hate , but people have used it for THOUSANDS of years to promote PEACE. so what your saying is any group that takes a peacefull symbol and turns it into hatred we should never use that symbol again.. ?
You think there are no positive connotations with wetsren nations because you havent done any research . infact it has been used in north america for many different organizations including the "boy scouts".
I wouldnt post it in my sig because i think that more people would associate it in germany ( where th sig shows up ) with hatred than in north america where many many people realise it means PEACE
