I don't know the context, but I can see why it would be used. The amount of people who have iron crosses on clothing and such nowadays seems really high to me. I don't know if the stigma just wore off, or if its ignorance. Its use has never really bothered me though.
The iron cross isn't a Nazi symbol, it's a German symbol. They still use it over there today.

I understand that. I'm just pointing out that for whatever reason there is or was a stigma around it.

I think the reason is that we went to war with Germany twice during the last century... :lol:

I think the reason is that asshat "jesse james" who cheated on Sandra Bullock used the iron cross as his branding symbol for West Coast Choppers.

Eh, I haven't been feeling like posting here on the forums for the past week or so. It seems like almost all of my time has been spent dealing with StateFarm or dealing with things that'll come back to StateFarm. I'm still waiting for my settlement and have had to nearly drain my savings to put a down payment on a new car.

I wonder if I could get my nose cut off and my smell receptors relocated to my tongue. Then I wouldn't have to deal with nasty sinus pressure anymore.
