I thought Soviet/Commie symbols weren't offensive because all the killing they did/do is actually aimed at a "good thing", ya know...

If you change your desktop to the Win98 preset called 'Black Thatch,' you'll see that the design is based on a swastika.
And no-one thought Bill Gates was a Nazi!!

I'm going to hell for seeing the pun in this sentence.

That would be the other flag, that is, the Imperial Japanese war flag (the one with beams radiating outwards from the centre).

Locally, the Buddhist symbol is customarily the mirror image of the German swastika. I had this discussion with Locutus somewhere else before.

True that, but there are idiots everywhere. 
A year or two back, a Chinese actress actually was stupid enough to wear the Imperial Japan flag as a dress. A massive uproar ensued, and she pretty much sank without a trance.

German National Socialist Worker's Party uses ANCIENT BUDDHIST SYMBOLS, unaware that they were not coined by Aryans and therefore might cause offence!
