Jeff?
The inverted cross thing is hilarious, by the way. Protestants should be OK with it too because St. Peter, even if they don't like the pope, but Protestants are typically immune to logic. ;-)

personly it is the last emblemic symbol I could ever think of using becouse if its horrid past and what it ment for 60 years ago, and that shadow stil is poisonus and makes evee a half glimps at the swastica makes me feel quite cold and unconfortable, no other symbols do that.

Then don't go to the Middle East, Pakistan, India, Burma and Thailand. Swasticas are f**king everywhere in their religious temples, be them mosques, hindu temples or buddist temples.
The nazis actually corrupted the swastica. They inverted it and then turned it 45°. It has the same practical effect of inverted crosses for all those who are not catholics.

I know
that was my initual question when will it ever be legit in the western world after what it was used for and in the context it were being used.
I am qurious by nature and have of cource looked it up or read about the original meaning and symbolic valiue it have/has in the far east and middle east.
I am also a student of Culture and Languages (with History Bacheleor as main cource, and dipped my toes in Religion, alternative types, new age, occulte and neo paganisme, Scientific studies of religios symbolisme, ) political studies (what is the biggest threat to a Democracys today etc, )

Wow, the PMT has turned into quite the daytime soap opera. No offense Caio.
I personally enjoy the solitude offered by the math rock team. I like the echo.

There are about 5 shredders (6 with me) that are collabs there. I'm currently not very active on MMA because of the whole f**king endless drama that is the PMT. Oh, and do you guys know the latest chapter? Jeff leaves for good.

I used to like SMBC, but it's been in a major slump for a while now. I think Zach's angry that XKCD is more popular than SMBC even though Randall clearly only spends about 15 minutes a week on it while Zach has full color multi-panel updates every day, so he keeps drawing longer and longer comics to show how much more effort he's putting into it while using the same idiotic nerd humor in the hope he can crossover to the reddit crowd. It's especially worse now that he's juggling making the (not very good) SMBC Theater videos every week in addition of SMBC, Snowflakes, and Cap'n Stupendous.

Nobody does anything on MMA, don't be silly. I would post more in the general discussions but the admins made all my posts require approval for no reason, so forget it.

noone is doing anything on MMA, that site is even deader then this, but I am very proud of being a member even if im not the biggest metal head in the world.
But I like metal enough to feel I can be their, to feed my lust for Sludge, Metalcore, Stoner, Death, Prog, Grunge, Djent and tech metal
