Neither have i. I had to buck myself out of a snow pile once but never really stuck

 

That's gross. Mud sucks so much.

I've gotten stuck so many times I've lost count.
But not in gross, nasty mud.

Probably just to piss people off because it gets everyone's panties in a bunch smaller than an atom. I would probably do it, because fuck your fragile sensitive feelers.

 

Because my prerunner will make it through some nasty shit. Just not when your tire completely sinks

Yeah I don't care about his reasoning in the first place, just can't stand the stupid people getting so worked up over stuff.

History of the Swastika

• 
  

The swastika has an extensive history. It was used at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag. The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being." The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.
The symbol experienced a resurgence in the late nineteenth century, following extensive archeological work such as that of the famous archeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Schliemann discovered the hooked cross on the site of ancient Troy. He connected it with similar shapes found on pottery in Germany and speculated that it was a “significant religious symbol of our remote ancestors.”
In the beginning of the twentieth century the swastika was widely used in Europe. It had numerous meanings, the most common being a symbol of good luck and auspiciousness. However, the work of Schliemann soon was taken up by völkisch movements, for whom the swastika was a symbol of “Aryan identity” and German nationalist pride
This conjecture of Aryan cultural descent of the German people is likely one of the main reasons why the Nazi party formally adopted the swastika or Hakenkreuz (Ger., hooked cross) as its symbol in 1920.
The Nazi party, however, was not the only party to use the swastika in Germany. After World War I, a number of far-right nationalist movements adopted the swastika. As a symbol, it became associated with the idea of a racially “pure” state. By the time the Nazis gained control of Germany, the connotations of the swastika had forever changed.
In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler wrote: “I myself, meanwhile, after innumerable attempts, had laid down a final form; a flag with a red background, a white disk, and a black swastika in the middle. After long trials I also found a definite proportion between the size of the flag and the size of the white disk, as well as the shape and thickness of the swastika.”
The swastika would become the most recognizable icon of Nazi propaganda, appearing on the flag referred to by Hitler in Mein Kampf as well as on election posters, arm bands, medallions, and badges for military and other organizations. A potent symbol intended to elicit pride among Aryans, the swastika also struck terror into Jews and others deemed enemies of Nazi Germany.
Despite its origins, the swastika has become so widely associated with Nazi Germany that contemporary uses frequently incite controversy.

 

Sanskrit

 

The sickle and hammer is a symbol of the working class not communism also

 

I was born in a hospital built by nazi prisoners (Jews) that still had swastikas on the floors. Random fact about me

 

Strange....

I had a friend in highschool who was born on an American Military base in Germany.

 

Where was that?

 

History is written by the victor. The North won the war, so they get to write the history of why the Civil War was fought, saying that all Southerners were racist slaveowners, yet 90 % of Confederate soldiers did not own slaves, and there were some black Confederate soldiers. What is being taught to the youth of today so warped. What's next? That the Civil War was fought over vampirism?
You can educate ignorance, but you can't fix stupid.

 

What was the US Civil War fought over then ?

 

My definition of nasty is when you step out and your sink past your ankles, getting your shoe stuck in the process

 

The US. Civil War was fought for state rights and their ability to succeed from the Union. That was the main goal of the civil war. In the beginning of the civil war, union soliders were not ordered to save any slaves they found. That became a goal much later in the war
