	Log in to remove this advertisement quote CORONADO, Calif., -- The U.S. Navy has decided to spend as much as $600,000 for landscaping and architectural modifications to obscure the fact that one its building complexes looks like a swastika from the air. Full story here. Does anyone else find this completely and utterly ridiculous? Spending $600,000USD of the defence budget to remodel a bleeping building because anti-discriminatory groups say it looks like a swastika when viewed from the air? As soon as some left-wing pinko dickhead sees a swastika they immediately think of Nazi Germany. If these people did a little bit of research (even going on Wikipedia, for Chrissakes) they'd know that there are many other, less exciting uses for the swastika symbol. It wasn't built intentionally as a "hate" symbol, and would it really even matter if it was? Does that justify spending money on "fixing" such a ridiculous "problem?" What are your thoughts on this? ------------------- + BDK2008 +

	When was the building built? Disregarding that, just because it looks like a swatztiga doesn't mean that somehow it makes everyone who works there a nazi. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's almost as stupid as Jack Thomson putting on a pair of funny glasses to disguise the fact that he is a twat. Disguise or not, he's still an idiot, same thing with this building.

	It has nothing to do with left-wing or right-wing. Nazis are simply unpopular in America and so is the Swastika for that reason. I do not see a problem with that building. It is not the same thing as a Nazi Swastika. -------------------

	If a building looked like a penis would they have to remodel it? I'm just curious...
