PLEASE!  NOT THIS GOD-DAMNED THREAD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
We just spent two weeks reading through 'swastika is evil' - 'it is a 
BACKWARDS swastika' crap in December!  I don't want to go through it again!

I'm gonna say this once, and then I'm gonna ignore this thread.

1: Did you notice that the 'swatika' made a convienent (sp?) trap?

2: Have you ever noticed that the swastika has been in use by other
   cultures LONG before Hitler decided to use it?

3: Did you consider that it MIGHT be a refernce to ID's last game?
   (Castle Wolfenstein 3D)

4: Does it REALLY matter?

Personally, I don't care.  I doubt that ID is full of neo-nazi shit head 
racists with nothing better to do than hide pro-nazi refernces in a game with 
enough demonic refernces to choke a Fundie.

Shut up, get a grip, and get a life!
