Totenkopf,
I knew someone would pipe up with the hypocrite angle. That's cool...you're entitled to it. Please don't think I condone the Nazi atrocities; that'd be utterly stupid. I guess my repulsion to do anything related to terrorism is just sheer recency. The horror and senselessness of the Sept. 11th attacks is still fresh in my mind. I witnessed it on TV when it happened. I sort of lived it (as much as a Canadian living in Ottawa could live it) instead of reading about it in a book. I walked past the U.S. Embassy to see the hundreds of wreaths, cards, and posters. I saw and comforted people crying outside the gates of the embassy. I was afraid that it was going to happen again...in Ottawa.
I tried to express my reasoning in my original post, but I guess the sentiment was lost on you.

Your reasoning is somewhat faulted. I am not trying to beat on you here, but you asked the question of us, so you are going to probably get answers you don't like. In my opinion (and it's just that) it is no more right to make a sig that contains Nazi symbols, then it is to work on one that merely has the word terrorism in it. Of course you can relate to it, it was less than a year ago, it was near you, but does that mean that the Nazi's actions 50 years ago are any less despicable? I am pretty sure that there are millions of people out there that are still affected by what they did. To me, it's hypocritical, but remember you asked us the question. biggrin:
What is more important is that you are comfortable in your decision and can defend your choices. I can respect that.
