no way. leave the swastika alone. besides it's a long respected symbol in budhism.
Voted : No because the town was named SWASTIKA years before the Nazis ever existed.
zeig heil! i forgot to vote.
Voted : Yes, because the current name presents a bad stigma on the town.
Times change. Now it's like calling a town dipshit.
Voted : Let's ask the Swastikians (Swastikans?)
As I understand it, the Nazi swastika is reversed, to indicate power or death or something not good-luckish. I think the Jewish population in Swastika, Ontario should be asked what they think. I guess since I have not heard of people being upset with the name until today, it isn't considered a big deal.
Leave the Swastika alone for fuck sake
The Jews are responsible for this ballot.

^ yeah, yeah, joking, b4 anyone pisses themselves with outrage.

I believe they tried to rename it 'Winston' during the war (true).
KNOWLEDGE FTW.

Canadians are just funny that way.
Kev, Bhuddism? You mean Hinduism. There are a lot of bad names for towns. Did you know there is an actual German town called 'Fucking?' There's another town in Canada called 'Dildo'

^ hinduism, sorry. now what would be cool if towns fucking and dildo were right next to each.
aya, mojo posted a ballot about that fine burg. I'd post the link, but I'm clueless about such things.

The swastika (from Sanskrit svástika ????????? ) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (?) or left-facing (?) forms. The term is derived from Sanskrit svasti, meaning well-being. The Thai greeting sawasdee is from the same root and carries the same implication.

I read a news story that tourists keep stealing the road signs that read "Fucking".
For more on Dildos... ballot #75599
Mojo's ballot. ballot #116701
Voted : No because the town was named SWASTIKA years before the Nazis ever existed.
Buy a few Victorian-era copies of the collected works of Rudyard Kipling. The books are decorated with a band of Indian-style swastikas along the top border of each volume. Yet, I've seen idiots become offended at this in public, when I was reading them out in the park.
No one back in 1911 had ever heard of a Nazi, because they didn't exist! If the name was good enough back then, they should stick with it now, and not cave under to stupidity.
Makes me want to develop a subdivision and incorporate it as "Leni-freaking-Riefenstahl."
Voted : No because the town was named SWASTIKA years before the Nazis ever existed.
I live in Swastika - we pronounce it swasteeka - not the same as the german swassticka. Anyway - fuck off - we had the name first and politically correct historical revisionism is crap in my book
