Because...A swastika symbolizes Evil
In Response To: Why not? ()

Even though these poker chips were produced long before the Hitler and the Nazi's adopted it as their symbol, the fact is it is a swastka. The symbol to me is nothing but evil. It turns my stomach.

To me, its no long an indian symbol for good luck. It symbolizes a group of people that tortured and killed millions of people. The symbol to me stands only for the Holocost.

Many people have told me that I'm over sensitive about it, probably because I'm jewish. The truth is, I AM VERY sensitive about it. Not because I'm jewish, but because i am a human being who cares. I wasnt even born when WWII was going on, but i am well aware of what happened. Some things should never be forgotten.

I dont accept that "it's just an antique poker chip" Even though it obviously is. Its not enough to say that anymore. Its an antique poker chip with a Swastka on it.

I'll tell you how crazy I am on this one...I had a old high school buddy that mailed me 3 of these. I thanked him and told him I didnt collect these because of the swastika on them. He said then to trade them or do with them as I wanted. So I did. I smashed them into pieces on the garage floor with a hammer.

I will never, ever have one in my collection.

Gee...you think this one strikes a nerve??
