guy in my gym has nazi tattoo...

ON_DUBS · 23-09-2006, 08:46 PM

Today while working out at my gym I noticed this guy with a swaztika tattoo.
It was set below a double-barrel shotgun with the words "OX power"

not sure what it represents exactly, but i feel that if you are going to get that kind of body-art, you should have the decency to keep it benneath at least a t-shirt.

we have people of all racial backgrounds at my gym, there hasn't been any problems with the guy from what i've seen...

would like some opinions however.

should you be allowed to represent something like that so openly?

i say no.
wear a t-shirt buddy.

I dont see this thread lasting long!

ON_DUBS · 23-09-2006, 08:48 PM

interested to know peoples opinions lets hope we can remain civil

MO · 23-09-2006, 08:52 PM

It all depends on the angle and axis of the arms and direction of rotation....there are those on here who are more upto speed than me.

Otherwise ...YES..I agree keep it covered.

gthofan · 23-09-2006, 08:58 PM

if you are offended by him, just ask him to cover up.

XR8putts · 23-09-2006, 09:03 PM

Depends on the ratation of the Sawztika.

We (my parents) have a few Sawztika's in the house, we're an Indian family.. but you have to remember that the swaztika is a Hindu(?) religious symbol, has been for thousands of years.. It was Hitler that embraced it, rotated it and created a completely different meaning for it. In the Hindu religion its a symbold of faith/hope/joy, something like that.

The man could believe in the hindu religion?..

If you felt so strongly about it, why didn’t you just ask him to put a t-shirt on? Or was is it because he was bench pressing 200 kilograms?

Who cares?

xr6 ausome · 23-09-2006, 09:07 PM

who cares let the man belive what he likes be it right or wrong If u are so bothered by it ask him to cover up if your to shy complain to managment.

To me however i could not give a rats ***.

It is the white supremist group. That's why the shot gun. Why should he have to cover it up. I don't see anything wrong with it. I have some friend who are part of that, they also have 100% white on the arms as well, and have never had any trouble with them. Obviously it doesn't bother him so why should it bother you. Bj

Justin@ · 23-09-2006, 10:00 PM

People have the right to express there veiws no mater what they are, if he wants to be a white surpermist thats ok. People need to chill out trying to make others comform into their own ideals. Why should he cover it up if he doesnt cause any trouble, he's not pushing his beliefs onto you or others so why do it to him?

SO IT DOES'NT bother you....where the fn hell do you think most of the worlds problems are generated from....stupid ethno minority groups like that that think they are the chosen ones.

Time for a reality check...they're not...and when and if all of them realise that to live in peace and harmony means tolerance and acceptance....the better off we'll all be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BJ you and your white supremicist groups are an anathema to modern society and the sooner we rid the world of this type of behaviour the better.

Its comments like that that make things worse really. When you think about it saying things like that makes you no better than them.

XA Coupsta · 23-09-2006, 10:07 PM

...I fail to see the issue and I fail to see why you've posted it here.

If it upset you that much - raise it there and then. Dont run home and post about it.

xr6 ausome · 23-09-2006, 10:10 PM

MO

Tatts are a personal thing.....i take it the guy isnt shouting white power or dumb crap like that. We may not like his beliefs but that doesnt mean we should impose on his life becouse that in itself is being discriminating....

Point taken...its the Nazi thing that gets me...I shall now try and avoid any further posts...so as to not inflame the thread.

mik · 23-09-2006, 10:21 PM

Bump................

bArNsY · 23-09-2006, 10:28 PM

You mean something like this?

gtfpv · 23-09-2006, 10:37 PM

would it be offensive it it was a person bending over showing sunshine in the valley. . somethings are offensive . especially when they have been attached to violence. and murder. if you had a tattoo of a fist with a middle finger sticking up on your cheek . what do you think that would be stating . PEACE MAN . i don't think so

bArNsY · 23-09-2006, 10:40 PM

Did the guy look similar to this?

Justin@ · 23-09-2006, 10:41 PM

but as i have said already ...what gives us the right to tell him to cover up, just becouse he believes in somthing that we dont. That in itself is racism id say.

Jason[98.EL] · 23-09-2006, 10:51 PM

omg this is sad shyte

get over this crud

Did i say any where i was one of them. I'm not going to go into any sort of fight over this with anyone. No it doesnt bother me. I have be known to have an opinion one thing's racial.
It is a free world John is it not. My biggest belief is that we should never have gotten rid of the white Australia policy. Now think of me what you like but i am under no illusion that the world we live in is not the same as 30 years ago, god nows i wish it was. If you dont like the way i live my live bad luck. All i know is that i sleep well at night. Bj

XRQTR · 23-09-2006, 10:58 PM

So by this reasoning, both the US and Israeli flags should be banned from ever being shown in public because of recent attrocities that have been commited under these two flags.

If you go by that then you should remove your Cross, if you're christian, whenever you enter a muslim or jewish or hindu or any other religious persons home that does not have the same belief, or for that any religious symbol any of you may wear when coming into contact, or as in this case, being in the same room as someone from another religion or belief. Then their is the question of atheists, I mean does that offend you or are you an atheist and are offended by religion or its symbols.

By taking offence to someones beliefs you do that which you say you dissaprove of, you are passing judgement

Get over it.

Spend more time lifting and less time watching everyone else.

MITCHAY · 23-09-2006, 11:00 PM

While I don't agree with Nazis, if the guy has a tattoo of a swaztika he would'nt be ashamed of showing it. I don't really think he would cover it up to guard against offence if he doesn't believe it to be offensive to begin with.

Personally I would of knocked the dude for six if I could (might be too big, personally don't feel like dying for the subject). I have Hungarian blood in me and they have been subject to the Hitler regime.

gtfpv · 23-09-2006, 11:09 PM

just get a tattoo on your arm saying : "" WHITE SUPREMISTS SUCK "" and see if he takes offense , when your training next to him . if he doesn't it's all cool .
