I didn't know this was going on, but I can see why some wouldn't want
the other symbols used in their country.

That interesting, look at that last symbol-that looks totally violent!

It's amazing how much thought has to go into a symbol to avoid offending anyone

remember the little metal red cross clip pins one would get when you donated blood?
I have a couple - something else I collect is medical items (not much though).

At least they could decide what color they wanted it to be!

In my entire life I never thought of that as a "CHRISTIAN" kind of cross. Was that the offensive part? What ABOUT the Swiss flag? :-5

Lu, I never thought of it that way, either. I thought more of it as a
"Plus" sign, I guess, but then I'm weird. Didn't even think of the "Cross"
in the name, either, really. Then again, I'm weird.
:D

Well, yes...and there're crosses (as in crossing guards, etc) and CROSSES as in Golgotha. But the Christian one isn't shaped like the RED one, is it? Sheesh.
