Arturo Sanchez:
*shrug they are kinda terrible at the game. Just beat them over and over until they go away or disband.

--- Quote from: Richard LeMoon on February 12, 2015, 08:13:56 pm ---I beg to differ on it being 'sad'. It ties in with what you are saying about forgetting what a symbol used to mean. If people are using something for no other reason than it is 'cool', with no ties to the political/religious/evil/whatever thing it used to stand for, then it is well on its way to becoming something else. That is progress.

Yeah, actually I meant something FAR more said. That it's meaning is ERASED from the face of the world forever. Then it will be right. As long as people live, as long as echoing waves of cause and effect are seen on the surface of reality... it is not forgotten yet.

You mean, with crowbar, right?
Grim jokes aside, no matter how I generally dislike you, this time I may agree.

There is one thing im on Mr.disaster in on this and that is Russias recent troublemaking. With Ukraine and etc. And maybe some additions that i dont know of..
Wich is where the symbol could remind people of them, and serving the symbol to represent may mean whoever is using it with purpouse for it is on the side with Russia and the threat they pose.
But it is still not a symbol of hatred much like what the swastika became. Specialy the black white and red swastika.
What C-ponter said:
--- Quote ---there will always be people who use and exploit religion or politics to justify their actions, but does that really mean all religion and politics should be outlawed?
--- End quote ---
Wich is more in the philosophy of outlawing anything that has had a bad history.
For this case were looking at the communistic symbol and determining if that is bad enough of a symbol to outlaw in this game.
Imo it doesnt have enough of a symbol torwards a negative meaning, specialy if you compare it to the negative swastika.
Also, i find it scary so many have read mein kampf.
BlackenedPies:
It's wrong to associate communism with the pseudo-communist dictatorships that arose. Marx would've been equally horrified by the regimes using the guise of communism.
If we ban the hammer and sickle then we have to ban all political and religious symbols in GoI. I wouldn't be against this but I don't think it's necessary.
