      Erm, some Europeans are Celts, and some are Buddhists.

      And some are Celtic Buddhists.

        Really, to 'apolytonize' should be a real verb covering the action of, say, taking a headline such as 'EU considers Nazi symbols ban' and turning it into 'EU bans symbols'.

        Additionally, there should be an OMG somewhere in the thread title.

          Doesn't matter. The PC mafia bans all swastikas, no matter what they symbolise.

            Pyrodrew's flag is the Stars and Stripes; ergo, any thread title of his containing 'E.U.' automatically becomes suspect, unless there's a definite signalled intention to 'epater les bourgeois', or some kind of ironic stance involved.

                I think there should be EU regulations how a swastika should look like to qualify as swastika

                    You caught me. I took MarkG's lead to 'apolytonize' the title after seeing his impressive 'apolytonize' work... "US Troops destroy (some) Babylon (artifacts/relics)". So I decided to try it once.

                    Such is the nature of Apolyton... so do not fret, the favor of suspicion is similiarly returned.

                    Additionally, there should be an (BANNED BY ORDER OF THE EUROPEAN UNION) somewhere in the thread title.
                    Impossible. The EU banned that abbreviation since it contains the G word - BANNED BY ORDER OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.

                          Euros don't have free speech anyway. Close, but not unlimited.

                              Edit/ Although I'd be interested to see the public reaction in Britain if it's tried. How many people actually would fight for the right to free expression of something they loathed?
                              I will.
                              Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                                Except for Austria, of course. We have similar laws as the Germans, in some aspects even stricter Nazi-prohibition.
