Strange, I learned all that in history classes when the teacher was talking the Nazis.

Yea I don't like my school. In fact I dropped out, but I went back because I got bored.
Not the best idea to drop out of education.

Its kind of ironic that a near universal symbol of balance and holiness served as a mark of aryan supremacy for the nazi's. But considering my poor american education I'm probably way out of my league making that statement, let alone the audacity of my assuming that I can properly use the word ironic in a sentence.

The swastica and forms similar to it have been used by dozens of different cultures and was even used by the U.S as a good luck symbol until the nazi's began to use it.

Yup, after WWII, it began to symbolize death and hate. It's too bad. I really like the symbol in Buddhism.
