Offensive Symbols in KAG --> Offensive Symbols in General --> General Chat on Religion

Cool story and all but I think it is up to the admin/guard on a server to decide what is acceptable and what is crossing the line.
And if all people that build useless buildings were banned it would be pretty empty right now.

 

It's only an opinion & suggestion well thanks for the contradiction it may help me change. :)
I just feel sorry for those people after I read about swastikas.

 

Alright, I can clearly see there's no point in discussing this with you.

You and I both, man.

 

Like you bone, i find the whole argument irrelevant, i mean..
Why would you spend time on building something absolutely useless while you could be out in the battlefield fighting.
All symbols are utter shit in KAG.

But still, i don't quite believe you when you say the first thing you connect a cross to is the millions of people Christianity killed over centuries, i bet you think of the church.
Oh and just saying, Christianity may have killed like... let's say 1 billion people over the course of let's say...1700 years.
WW II casualties were ~70 million in 6 years, so... you do the math.

 

You're about as bad as the ones who build the swastikas with a purpose to offend.
1. The Swastika is offensive because it symbolises (mainly) the deliberate genocide of a race of people.
2. What millions of people killed in the name of Christianity? The Crusades? The Crusades were mainly to recover the Holy Land (Jerusalem) that had been lost hundreds of years ago to the Arabs during the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire. Basically they were fighting to regain their own land.
3. I agree on the point about annoying 'Bible Christians' handing out flyers. Still, you have to admire their tenacity.
4. Maybe you find crosses more offensive because you aren't connected to the Third Nazi Reich? As in lost your grandfather, family house/mansion/whatever got bombed by Germans, had your whole family gassed by the Nazis, etc. The Nazi Regime was very brutal and terrible, far more than the crosses ever did. If you compare the casualties of WWII and the Crusades over the total elapsed time of the conflicts (just as Juaro had said), you will find out which cost the most lives.

Somehow, I always connect you (BlueLuigi) and utter disrespect on the forums and sarcasm, along with posting comments that are somewhat useless. We are here to discuss and come to understand the topic (Nazi symbols in kag), not flame/ rage at/blabber at/ whatever at others.

Oh noes... I'm about to have a bomb dropped on me by BlueLuigi... again.

We all do, delanski. The meaning behind the swastika is horrible.

 

I think some people here must use a time machine just to see what really happened on that time.
Ask Area 51 for the time machine.
We should focus to a good community, not sh*t selfish community that only focuses on what they want.

For information about the History of Swastika

Spoiler: Swastika

The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix. Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.
A Change in Meaning

In the 1800s, countries around Germany were growing much larger, forming empires; yet Germany was not a unified country until 1871. To counter the feeling of vulnerability and the stigma of youth, German nationalists in the mid-nineteenth century began to use the swastika, because it had ancient Aryan/Indian origins, to represent a long Germanic/Aryan history.
By the end of the nineteenth century, the swastika could be found on nationalist German volkisch periodicals and was the official emblem of the German Gymnasts' League.
In the beginning of the twentieth century, the swastika was a common symbol of German nationalism and could be found in a multitude of places such as the emblem for the Wandervogel, a German youth movement; on Joerg Lanz von Liebenfels' antisemitic periodical Ostara; on various Freikorps units; and as an emblem of the Thule Society.

Hitler and the Nazis
In 1920, Adolf Hitler decided that the Nazi Party needed its own insignia and flag. For Hitler, the new flag had to be "a symbol of our own struggle" as well as "highly effective as a poster." (Mein Kampf, pg. 495)
On August 7, 1920, at the Salzburg Congress, the red flag with a white circle and black swastika became the official emblem of the Nazi Party.
In Mein Kampf, Hitler described the Nazis' new flag: "In red we see the social idea of the movement, in white the nationalistic idea, in the swastika the mission of the struggle for the victory of the Aryan man, and, by the same token, the victory of the idea of creative work, which as such always has been and always will be anti-Semitic." (pg. 496-497)
Because of the Nazis' flag, the swastika soon became a symbol of hate, antisemitism, violence, death, and murder.
What Does the Swastika Mean Now?

There is a great debate as to what the swastika means now. For 3,000 years, the swastika meant life and good luck. But because of the Nazis, it has also taken on a meaning of death and hate.
These conflicting meanings are causing problems in today's society. For Buddhists and Hindus, the swastika is a very religious symbol that is commonly used. Chirag Badlani shares a storyabout one time when he went to make some photocopies of some Hindu Gods for his temple. While standing in line to pay for the photocopies, some people behind him in line noticed that one of the pictures had a swastika. They called him a Nazi.
Unfortunately, the Nazis were so effective at their use of the swastika emblem, that many do not even know any other meaning for the swastika. Can there be two completely opposite meanings for one symbol?

I'm a Roman Catholic
All jokes about our God and symbols , cultures.
Are ok for me, as long as it is a joke and I find it funny.

 

PLease don't fuzzy, this has been the only interesting discussion on the forums. ;-;

 

Y IS DAT TRUE.
All small problems ==== VERY INTERESTING.
BIG PROBLEMS ==== Neh, WHO CARES?

 

I used to do that, until I realized what it meant.

Isn't it kind of impossible to build a diagonal swastika on KAG, because of the blocks being square?

 

I am offended by a player on the opposing team's excellent structure as it reminds me uncomfortably of my own incompetence at this game. I am offended by a player not doing what I think is the most efficient course of action to win the game. I am offended by people having fun. I am offended.

 

Oooo. I see now.

 

Never even said that people could disregard the basic rules of KAG, the admin/owner decides most rules and even stupidity like "I love watermelons" can get you banned.
They will just tell you to play in another server and avoid that one, isn't that the way how it works for most of the time regarding idiotic bans?
(thinking you was being sarcastic, was I wrong:p )
