Why is anything Nazi related still considered offensive?
the holocaust happened a long time ago and almost all of the guys who committed those horrible deeds (as far as we know) are either dead or have been punished. Jews are no longer being rounded up and exterminated like dogs, so why can't someone use a swaztika for its original meaning? (peace, I think. It's from Hinduism) people just seem so sensitive over stuff that's gone and passed.

Because its a insult to the memory of those who died. Its out of respect that you dont use a logo that represented the suffering inflicted on millions. I dont really get what your not understanding here.

Unfortunately swastika is still linked to Hitler but its an ancient symbol with positive meaning
The swastika (卐) (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is a symbol that generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four arms bent at 90 degrees. The earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization as well as the Mediterranean Classical Antiquity and paleolithic Europe. Swastikas have been used in various other ancient civilizations around the world including Turkic, India, Iran, Armenia, Nepal, China, Japan, Korea and Europe. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol that invokes Lakshmi - the Vedic goddess of wealth, prosperity and auspiciousness.
The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" (meaning "good" or "auspicious") combined with "asti" (meaning "being")[citation needed], along with the diminutive suffix "ka." The swastika literally means "well-being." It is a common practice for Hindus to draw Swastika symbols on the doors and entrances to their houses during festivals, which is believed to symbolize an invitation to goddess Lakshmi.[1] The name "sauwastika" is sometimes given to the left-facing arms symbol, which is a mirror image of swastika (卍).[2]

Not just talking about wealth, but also the racist ignorance and close mindedness which is rampant in those regions. Hope the gypsies sleep with all the future daughters of your country

true but when something happens decades ago and didn't happen to you, at what point do you just...let it go? do you hold a grudge forever?

Clueless about what exactly? About how racist your country men are? You just made a great display of it in here. You have only to travel a few miles to visit the nearest concentration camp, but you prefer to repeat the words of your toothless neighbours.
Leave the shack where your village shares it's one online desktop, and see the world with your own eyes instead of believing the words of your inbred god forsaken family members that have already given hope on becoming functioning members of modern society
