I am a collector of World War II memorabilia. I am in my 40's and my father, who served for 29 years got me started collecting when I was nine. I am puzzled by Ebay's policy in which a user cannot post badges and medals and sorts displaying the swatika and yet it allows coins, stamps and books displaying this "symbol". I fail to see the difference. It is somehow less offensive to someone because it's on a stamp or coin. It's time to change the policy. Here's something off the top of my head, if the site of a swastika offends you then don't search it out. Child pornography and child prostitution offends me, I don't type into my computer EVER to see if it's out there. As I stated before, my father served, my two sisters are still in the military and I served for 11 years. I proudly display my awards, my fathers awards and my wife's grandfathers medals in the same room as my German items from the war and no one is offended by this. I am a normal hard working man with a family, I make a great income which allows me to persue my passion of simply collecting all armies militaria from the 1700's to present. I don't goose step around my house waiting in anticipation of a forth riech or something. I say either allow it all or don't allow any. Why is it ok for some to collect what they are passionate about, stamps and coins, and not me. If anyone is interested in seeing my collection I will gladly send pictures.
