Coke "promotes" Nazi Robot

I don't mean any disrespect to the Jewish people. They went through a horrible ordeal under the NAZI regime (indeed, their history is a long pattern of struggles). But at the same time, I think they should take the time to learn and understand another culture before they make a knee-jerk reaction and assume that this symbol is directed hatefully towards them.

If you are a good person, why would you want to wear or display something that many people associate with evil?

Because as a good person, you make judgements based on logic and reason, and not the whims of the masses. Many people think Americans are evil, does that mean no good person should display the American flag? Besides, the Swastika is part of the Hindu religion. It has been a part of their religion long before Hitler came about. To use a phrase from a previous post, what I think is disgusting is the inability for people to undertand and appreciate the Hindu culture, and force them to be ashamed of publically displaying a religous symbol.
