Fast Eddie's signature

[Nelson Atwell]

Nothing against Fast Ediie's union logo, but it struck me this evening that I have seen those clasped hands before in history books.

Fast Eddie's logo

Socialist Unity Party of Germany flag

 

[EddieS'04]

Very intresting...I think I might change it to one of my others..at least this one has the american flag behind it...

 

[Mike Wilson]

Some people read WAY too many things into something so simple as a handshake!

The U.A.W. Handshake logo was originally designed as a symbol of unity to bring

many different types of peoples together, from many different walks of life,

unlike the Unity Party of Germany logo, where it was meant to symbolize the extinction

of a whole race, simply because they were not exactly like you or I.

Nelson,

With respect, get your historical facts and timelines straight, before you post on this

subject again.

Again,

With Respect,

TnB...

 

[Travis Munday]

TnB,

With respect, maybe you need to read was was actually written. Nelson simply said the handshake logo looked familiar, and how it looks similar to the one on the flag. Nelson did, however, post a link to where he got the flag and a little info about the party. Which, according to the site, was founded in 1946. Now, wouldn't that be AFTER WWII and the forced excustion of the Jews? Maybe you're thinking of the National Socialist German Workers Party (aka Nazi). Perhaps you're the one that needs to get "your historical facts and timelines straight".



Jeeze the cabin fever is kicking in early this year...

 

[Mike Wilson]

It's not cabin fever, Tiger,

It's the fear of the Proletariat Government's Anti- Unilateralistic's Tactics of

the Boirgiosis' Predominant Policies that have me scared!:blink:

Proctor & Gamble's Man In The Moon logo is a sign of the devil.

 

[Johnny O]

That's a joke, I was kidding. People do believe that though, so P&G got rid of it.

 

[Nelson Atwell]

Yes Eddie, yours does have a flag, which I think is cool. It was the combination of the handshake and flag on both examples that was a bit creepy. :blink:



tracnblack, as Tiger stated, I wasn't suggesting that the UAW and the Socialist Unity Party of Germany were linked in any way.

 

[Gavin Allan]

There is no reason to appologize for suggesting that socialism and labor unions are linked. For years, socialists have been very active and supportive of labor unions, and vice-versa. You can read about some of the linkages in the sites below.



Furthermore, Socialism is not a dirty word--rather it is a form of government and economics. We have several examples of socialism here in the united states, such as Amtrak, Air Traffic Control, public schools, etc. Most folks would agree that these things are not necessarily evil.

By the way, U.A.W. stands for United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural

(Implement) Workers (Of America)!

Not just Auto Workers...

Research "Charles Wilson, and the U.A.W."

[Tom Schindler]

speaking of handshakes....any "traveling" men in here?

What does that mean?





Tom

 

[Frank Marano]

What does that mean?

if u were a traveling man you'd know! lol:lol:

 

[Gavin Allan]

Sounds like a secret club. Probably a club of Trac owners who long to own Aztecs and Avalances... :lol:

 

[D J]

Fmarano is exactly right!!!!

 

[Nelson Atwell]

A search of Google mentions a barbershop quartet society, but also a couple of links with homosexual references. :unsure:

 

[Tom Schindler]

I figured it was him asking if there are any homosexuals here. I was just wanting to confirm what I thought it was.





Tom

 

[D J]

so ya'll think being a "traveling" man has something to do with homosexuals huh? Not even close, but I guess you are just trying to be funny. So mote it be.....

 

[Nelson Atwell]

I found another link which may make more sense in this thread...relative to the Masonic Lodge
