| 827911 | 2009-11-07 08:36:00 | Did you read this article about how bowing to a swastika is illegal in NZ: www.nzherald.co.nz I know it's illegal to deny the holocaust in Germany but i thought NZ was a democracy and has freedom of expression. |

| 827912 | 2009-11-07 08:47:00 | Yep. We have freedom of expression here and if I caught you bowing to a swastika then it would be my duty to express my disapproval. I'd probably kick your upraised posterior with a size 10 steelcapped boot! |

| 827914 | 2009-11-07 09:04:00 | Not illegal, but anyone who does so would fully deserve any painful experience and/or death that may follow. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

| 827917 | 2009-11-07 11:18:00 | I guess it depends where you are. In India it is seen as a religious symbol that signifies stability but in the western world it is seen as something that relates to Nazism. Link (en.wikipedia.org) | ronyville (10611) | ||
| 827918 | 2009-11-07 12:12:00 | The Nazis corrupted the original meaning of the Swastika, originally it was said to symbolize man standing at the crossroads reaching out for ultimate meaning with crippled arms. The Nazis adopted the version of the swastika which was the good version the one going the other way round was the bad, nowadays they are both taken as evil in the Western world due to the association. |

| 827919 | 2009-11-07 19:49:00 | Its not illegal to bow in front of a swastika and its not an offence to deny the jewish holocaust in New Zealand. You would have to be a numbnuts to do either buts its not breaking the law. The commissioner is a foreigner anyway and does not know the act he is supposed to enforce. Like the USA and England we really do have freedom of speech and expression. |

| 827920 | 2009-11-07 19:50:00 | Yep in Chch cathedral are lots of Maori decorations that include Swastika type symbols the Nazis just adopted old tribal symbols for their own use. But yes I would kick your arse too | gary67 (56) | ||
