there should be a description of what those symbols mean like on the back of your neck or something, so you dont have to explain its signifigance like 5000 times.

A lot of my immediate family was killed in WWII (Croats), the coat is there as a sort of memorial. The coat literally means unity, brotherhood/family. So yeah, I don't think I'll ever be ashamed of it.

I'm guessing that you wouldn't put a German Eagle on your skin if your family was fighting for the Allies.

first of all, its not a **** eagle, its a german eagle. And second of all, thats not a **** croatian coat of arms. So, in short... your logic is flawed.

Well, during WWII, Croatia was pro-****... and in Germany, my family faught for Germany (duh)... so I think that answers your questions.

I'm sure, like the rest of us, you also think of Hitler and the ****'s as one of histories biggest bunch of scumbags.

Ineed, but one thing that really bothers me is that everyone forgets the worlds even bigger scumbags (Like Stalin, etc). Hitler and the ***** are seen as the worst by many people simply because they are uneducated.
