I am sorry, but your desktop picture is really offensive. It has the same meaning as the Nazi's symbol.

:unsure:

What?

I thought it was pretty damn cool lookin but... what do you mean? Some sort of link you can provide? I highly doubt he was trying to be "offensive" based on the other desktop on his PowerBook, which seems to be the same style of image.

I'm sorry but there is nothing wrong with that image. Do we really live in a world where we have to respect EVERYONE and ANYONE with their wishes. Sort of like the onslaught of messages Neowin received when they said Merry Christmas. Wake up people... lets not turn Neowin in a Politcally Correct site, where we need to call our garbage men sanitation engineers. Get a life.

it's called the japanese war flag...by your logic, the union jack stands for the murder of german civilians of all the cities carpet bombed on those starless nights where countless innocent germans lost their lives. And then there is the american flag...holy ****...that's INSANELY offending, I don't recall the Japanese putting american citizens in internment camps...however during ww2, I do know the US military put japanese (most asian races) into these camps where many died, and were essentially slaves to physical labour. but seriously, open your eyes and your mind. don't be so naive and hypocritical.

Im not sure what the offensive image is... is it the red and pinky striped thing coming from the top right corner on that screen?

I severly doubt he knows even that its a flag. I didnt take geography and dont know my history that well either - but I do know that wallpaper is on one of the sites that people always post when someone asks where they can get some nice widescreen format wallpaper. To me its just a wallpaper picture and never knew it had so many negative connotations, probably same with this guy youve just attacked too!

Ben.

I don't really care that you think it's offensive. It's piece of desktop art that the original artist likened to the japanese culture. It has nothing to do with the Rising Sun, nazism, genocide, the WWII axis powers or anything else. If you perceive it as something else then thats your problem.

Why can't some of you people heed your own advice and respect hanxu for his stance. You preach and preach about tolerance, but you flame him for despising a flag that was flown over many atrocities.

hanxu: Neowin is neutral on such topics, unless it's quite rediculous. Unfortunately I can't say the same thing about all of our members.

The matter is closed. Move on.

Ok here is the flag

as long as don't think or relate to the rising sun (or japanese soldier's flag during the second world war), I think it's ok...

BTW, this is not about religion/country... it's about millions of people's suffering and life.
