SWASTIKA SHAPED BUILDINGS. ARE THEY UNINTENTIONAL? [+] serious ballot by patch22us ACTIVE Sun Mar 16, 08 - Wed Mar 26, 08 Decatur, AL - From the ground, the Wesley Acres Methodist retirement home looks like any other building. But fly over in an airplane, and the outline is unmistakable: It's one big swastika. Prompted by complaints from a Jewish activist, the agency that owns the government-funded building is planning to alter its shape to disguise the Nazi symbol. "The difficulty is there are a limited number of options for fixing a building that has been there for some time," said Mike Giles, counsel for the Methodist Homes Corp. of Alabama and Northwest Florida. "We have to come up with a way to fix an appearance that we want solved and not hurt our residents." Wesley Acres provides government-subsidized housing for 117 low-income people ages 62 and above. Most have no reason to suspect their hallways take on a sinister shape. Apparently, there have been a number of buildings with this oddity, including a U.S. Navy building. Some activists say that the shapes of the buildings are intentional and are symbolic of the U.S. government's endorsement of Nazism and a homage to Nazi Germany. Do you think these buildings are designed that way on purpose, or is it unintentional? The Retirement home has already been modified to disguise the design and the result of that attempt is in the picture above. It is unintentional' It is intentional Intentional but for other reasons It's a plus-sign doing a cartwheel Ballot #124282 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
