you missed a bird in the middle.

To what "direct request" are you referring too?
My google-fu failed on this. But it sounds like fun, especially in 80.
Your comment does not make sense. The application of the law is as important as the law itself. In this case, we see it being applied on both sides. So, the shortcomings of the law are partly compensated by how it's practised.
Just explain you thinking process please? May be you just do not understand my comment? If that date triggers some small minority now is it racist?
I just fail to see how you come to this conclusion based on my post. Please explain.
Racism is ok then, when it “affects only a very small percentage of the population.”
I would take -40 over +40 on any day.
IMHO good news. if that shitty law is applied to everyone, it makes it less shitty.
It would be interesting to know who paid him ( unless he is completely nuts).
Logic? Please explain how did you come to this conclusion?
It affects only a very small percentage of the population. For the majority, that date means nothing outside its official meaning. And no matter what day you pick, someone will be offended. Just move on; it does not matter in the grand scale of things. But I would agree that putting it on the day when the federation was formed would make more sense, but January 1st is already used.
