Marilyn Manson has a track called Pretty As a ($) on his 2009 record The High End of Low and recalled in a later interview that the ($) stood for a swastika which he sings in the song as well, personally, I think its an amazing compliment and if anyone said that to me I'd be utterly flattered by that, but just asking your opinion.... :)

Yes

The word Swastika is a Sanskrit word. It is comprised of, su- meaning "good, well" and asti "to be." Suasti thus means "well-being."
The suffix -ka either forms a diminutive or intensifies the verbal meaning and Swastika can be thus translated literally as "that which is associated with well-being,"
So, I guess it's just how you take it.

My cousin, who is Indian and born into a Hindu family is named Swastika (no association with any movement related to Hitler. He doesn't own the sole rights of it, you know?)

No

not really considering what the sign represents. i wouldnt want to be associated with anything that has to do with the Hitler Nazi era (especially since Hitler and his loyal lackeys were racist bastards. i HATE racism with a PASSION because it is CRAP and utterly POINTLESS). im sure the person would mean well but still its not exactly my idea of a good compliment

No

+1
If someone says that to you, they probably don't think highly of you....

"You're as pretty as the genocide of millions based solely on their religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation!" Not exactly a compliment

Matter of fact, I DO. Do YOU? [...]

All you have to do is LOOK at him (?) for starters.

Old and SMART. I know things you haven't even imagined. Night little kid.

hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/11 17:39:58

that's a bit of a biased statement dont you think? you should probably get to know him in person before you say such harsh things.

reply
Somkey ... to hannah 2012/06/11 21:10:56

LOOK at him. He chose to be a freakazoid. He's is evil in make up.

reply
hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/11 22:22:37

he's a human though. it hurts people's feelings. there's a better way to put stuff. you're an adult so you of all people should know. its better to be nice and decent. :)

CircusF... to hannah 2012/06/11 22:50:44

r u taking to me or him?

reply
hannah to CircusF... 2012/06/12 00:37:34

well i read your convo with him and i know he was being childish but im just trying to tell him to just word it better. if he doesnt like MM then he doesnt but he shouldnt be name-calling. just trying to keep the peace is all. i like MM though. he's cool. ;)

Somkey ... to hannah 2012/06/12 01:55:03

hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/12 14:51:50

attitude much? you say you're an adult but you would be more reasonable if you were 100% adult. its actually quite sad that i can be more civilized than you and im only 17. -sigh- but i guess thats just how it is in some cases. oh well

reply
hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/12 14:56:51

attitude much? you say you're an adult but yet you have such a raunchy attitude. if you were 100% adult you would be more civilized and decent. its pitiful how me a seventeen year-old can be more civilized than you. quite sad indeed.

Just a pair of brainless little moonbats. Products of the public school system.

hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/17 15:53:39

righhhhht. and yet i somehow sound smarter than you right now. and im somehow not trying to throw my weight around like you are. hmmmm. yes i would call that verrry brainless. and yet im talking to someone who thinks soo highly of themselves yet they have not much to be proud of themselves over due to their crappy attitude. and IM brainless.

Somkey ... to hannah 2012/06/18 02:41:28

Where do you GET this crap?

reply
hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/18 20:55:35

i get from the truth...AND by seeing how you act.

reply
hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/17 15:57:02

you just cant take the truth so you call us brainless. well i guess you in all your small-minded glory have to call us brainless because of your insecurity in your own mind. well you certainly have a lot to be insecure about when it comes your mind because right now it needs a LOT of work. anyone can tell just by seeing how you talk on here.

Somkey ... to hannah 2012/06/18 02:41:57

Quitcher whining.

reply
hannah to Somkey ... 2012/06/18 21:00:49

i think the only one whining here is you. you COULD have been decent but NO. you decided to have a stupid attitude. well as long as you keep being ridiculous is as long as im going to point it out like it or loathe it.

Pride and rebellion are a dangerous mix.

yes, and the product is you and i, and the difference between us is too many things to list

reply
Somkey ... to CircusF... 2012/06/18 09:40:28

I have lived a long time and have learned many things, most by personal experience. You are still a school child, who doesn't know ANYTHING except what some moron Frankfurt School indoctrinated ( who doesn't even know it) useful idiot has told you.
THEREIN lies the difference.
