[hempev]

@Elektrikkiss Actually, the video is of Shihan Nishiuchi, but I'm American and can only speak English, so he's better than me in language skills already.

George Takai with an accent? :D

[hempev]

@scottyboyguildwars If you mean George Takei, Shihan *is* Japanese, but he isn't gay.

why would the nazis turn a good sign to a bad one? by the way nice video on about sai didnt know where it came from and everything.

[hempev]

@yungballer92 I don't know why the swastika was adopted by the Nazis, but it is a known part of its history.

[hempev]

@blazeclicker If you don't mind *my* asking, are you always this much of a prick?

[hempev]

@M3ta1 Nazis got the swastica from Indian culture and twisted it to the right instead of the original left

@GibsonLesJosh I refer you to the story of Bishnu Shrestha last year. He was a lone gurkha armed with only a kukri who took on 40 train robbers/rapists armed with guns, knives, clubs and swords. The ones who still could, fled the train after he killed 3 and wounded 8 of them. Tell him just how useless his big knife/short sword is in a combat situation...

[GibsonLesJosh]

@entropy156 yeah but i was talking about sai and swords and stuff in a combat situation

[entropy156]

@GibsonLesJosh If that were true, armies wouldn't still issue and train with bayonets and combat knives, would they? There will *always* be a need for hand-to-hand weapons for combat. Ever heard of the 21 Foot Rule?

@hempev Swastika was recognized as a positive symbol all around the world - from Japanese to Native American peoples' lands. Picking a swastika as a symbol of 3rdR was a part of Hitler's ideology of 'going back to [great, strong] German [Teutonic] tradition'. Nazis didn't consider themselves a bad guys. But what they actually did under swastika as a banner put this symbol infamous in Western world forever.
