Should symbols of occupation and hatred be banned?

[Pol]

There has been many issues raised in this thread for me it boils down to would you feel angry or intimidated by someone wearing or showing certain things and I mean the vast majority of people. Now here in Scotland you would be risking violence upon yourself by wearing the Irish tricolour, the Ulster flag , union jack etc maybe even the Scottish saltire in wrong place at the wrong time but it would be impossible to ban any of these

Amanda. Dont take it as a criticism but as you go country to country, you make judgements on a snippet of info. Clearly you have a big heart and thats commendable, seriously, but the book is as good as the chapter. Think about it mate 

Absolutely right!

And while Amanda goes on about Poland, lets not forget many Poles collaborated with the Germans in the concentration camps.

Every country has a lot to be proud of, and a lot to be ashamed of. We cannot forget about one countries negatives because we dislike another country more. History is messy and complex and that is why it is fascinating!

And Amanda. I think you said you were in Romania next, read up about Vlad the Impaler prior to going. Staking/impaling 20,000 innocent men, women and children alive to deter the Turkish army (it worked as well) is pretty obscene?

But, you have started some interesting topics that have lead to some interesting posts. After all, on here,  how many times can you say you love NMA ?

Completely agree! I love a bit of "banter", and banter here is good.
