Default Re: Xbox 360 funded by Nazis?

I read further to protect all modern swastika users from incorrect association of the swastika with Nazis.

Quote:
The swastika has not always been used as a symbol of Nazism and was in fact borrowed from Eastern cultures. It seems to have first been used by early inhabitants of Eurasia. It is an important symbol in Eastern religions, notably Hinduism and Buddhism, among others, and was also used in Native American faiths before World War II. By the early twentieth century it was regarded worldwide as a symbol of good luck and auspiciousness. Swastikas appeared on the spines of books by the Anglo-Indian writer Rudyard Kipling, and the symbol was used by Robert Baden-Powell's Boy Scout movement.
Microsoft and all other users: Innocent!

Good luck and auspiciousness prevail thanks to "Reading In Too Far" King!
