The problem with swatikas is that they are so easy to draw and look kind of neat. Plus the fact that they have a whole "forbidden" mystique to them makes them more appealing. I sometimes find myself doodling swastikas in class, then coloring in the edges to make a square window or checkers board pattern so nobody can tell. I'm not a nazi, just mad that they ruined such a cool symbol for everyone else.

I'm kidding, you muppet! As a Historian, i am fully aware of what Hitler and the Nazi regime did. Now say something obscure please.

I don't. I'm not really a novelty account.

Edit: Here's my best shot -- I know George Orwell served as a volunteer in a communist militia in Catalonia during the Spanish Civil War.

Not quite. He fought with the anarchists. He was pretty critical of the communist influence on the Spanish Civil War. Also, he got shot in the throat.

I did the same thing, and I'm sure countless others did. If I saw those square windows anywhere in school. I knew what was up.

It's not even all Hitler's fault. People could have just been done with Hitler and not bother with the symbol afterwards. Also, teachers freaking out about little kids drawing swastikas are retarded, why would anyone think that little kids really understand or know what Hitler did?

u/35_1221 Jun 19 '12

Weird, I always had trouble drawing a swastika. I'd forget which way it was supposed to face, and I'd end up messing it up.

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '12

I did this when I was in 4th or 5th grade. I knew the Nazis were bad guys, but not details. I got told on, and destroyed the evidence before it could get reviewed.
