I understand the objection...but it was around a longtime before hitler...Svastica: 
The svastika is an ancient symbol representing auspiciousness and a symbol of God. The word can be divided into the components sva (one's own) and astika (it is). Thus, it means "that which is one's own or that which is independent." Since the Divine is the only independent entity in the universe, the svastika is a symbol for God. Everything else is independent upon the Divine for its existence, maintenance and dissolution. The sign has been associated with Ganapati most probably because he is the lord of good fortune and this sign is the sign depicting good fortune. Where the blue pear (bindu) begins to move at the commencement of creation, its initial movement forms a line. If one extrapolates that movement into the the four cardinal directions, a cross is depicted. If one would like to convey the idea of omnipresence, one may put "flags" on the ends of the arms of the cross and thus a svastika is formed. Sometimes, it is said that the svastika represents the fact that all paths to the divine, whether straight or crooked, eventually only lead to the divine. It is a symbol of geometric perfection. In the minds eye, it can be conceived of either a stationary or as being in perpetual motion, with its arms whirling like a giant cosmic pinwheel. In a clockwise rotation, its seems to depict the outward dispersion of the universe, while in a counter-clockwise rotation, it seems to depict the universe imploding back into its essence.

Comment From My Chinese Buddy.
nope this one
is not acceptable. The two main difference between the buddhist and the nazi one, is that the nazi one is 45 degrees slanted, and the buddhist one is 90 degrees.
this robot has a 45 degreed Swastika, this is no way a buddhist sign this has suddenly becomes a huge issue here, the jews and teh buddhist stood on the same side now. The buddhist claims that it is awful for the company to use holy symbol of buddhist in such defense.
The company representitive claim that it is a buddhist sign not the nazi one, but yet totaly dismissing the fact that there is a pretty huge difference between them.

The swastika was around long before Hitler.
The cross was around long before Christ.Each gained a new common meaning from the
zealotry of their respective followers. (cross represented the four seasons in neolithic times) Business using whomever or whatever makes money for them has also been around a long time. In 'the Arms of Krupp' a Nuremberg witness is quoted as saying that German industrialist's use of slave labor was no different than their opression of workers'
who tried to form labor unions.
The Nazis were used by the German industrialists to break labor unions and to provide cheap labor and high profits. An internet search for "Coca Cola Killings"
will provide dozens of reputable links to the bloodbath in Central America as Coca Cola brutally supresses unionization there with murder squads (as Hitler's SA did in Germany) www.prospect.org/print/V13/2/bacon-d.html www.counterpunch.org/coke0906.html THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION
Corporate Connections http://www.opensecrets.org/bush/cabinet.asp Coca Cola been 'very very good' to politicians:
National soft money: over $217,970.00 in the last 2 years.
A mere $172,595.00 of that/
only 79% to 'Bush's parody'(of the Republican party) http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/cgi-win/indivs.exe

The difference is in the way the entire symbol is slanted, not the angle of each "L" of the symbol. The swastika on the budda also has the "Ls" facing the opposite direction. There are many variations of the swastika from many different times in history and many different parts of the world. In some the "Ls" face clockwise, some counter clockwise, some are angled 45^, some are not. One of which is possibly even an old Jewish symbol that stands for the four Ls. Luck, Life, Light and love. Most forms of the swastika pre-date Hitler and the third reich and most were meant as positive symbols. But when a group adopts a symbol and then rises to such a status that all take note of that symbol and associate it with that group, this is what happens... The original meanings of that symbol become lost and the symbol takes on it's most popular or in this case notorious meaning.

You are both technically correct.The sheeple care nought for technicalities. The swastika is merely another form of the cross. Popular culture has imbued the swastika with extreme rightwing connotations of evil. That the hammer and sickle stand for the exact same system of government is also lost, except to us few poly-sci students. Aussies & US yanks have fought and died side by side from WWI to Wag the Gulf II. You guys are really on the same side IMHO.

$eeker,
Of course the swastika coke figure does not bother you.
Both coke and swastikas are basic to your system.Conspiracy Man however deserves the respect of an intelligent reply, as he is not getting his comments from a RNC manual of:
"How to argue with and confound intelligent non-conservatives" That he is not subject to the RW media's propaganda which forms your opinions,
gives cause to answer respectfully
(something you neo-con-4th Reich-Nazis would never understand)
Zieg....

commie...you also made a incorrect interpretation of the "cross"...The cross was around long before Christ. of course it was and so was the bible... and nazi's only exist in the minds of paranoid delusional liberal commies...
