Its coming

The U.S. census. I would like to hear what this board has to say about how much information you are willing to give them.
Also, what do you think the gov't will do with the info they get.
This should be interesting........




This thread is a couple weeks old and I don't want it to end badly, so I locked it. Don't feel bad, I even replied. chad

Name, age, race, and relationship of the occupants of the house delivered on the front step, hopefully in a howling blizzard.

 

[tallpaul]

number of occupants in house... I believe that is what the original US census originally was. I have no interest in participating beyond that. Its none of their damn business.

If they are top do a inclusive invasive one they should toss EVERY illegal they find...

I haven't seen the questions on the latest census, but I didn't have any problem giving them the information they asked for on the last census.

 

[afriqueart]

Name, address.....that should do it.

 

[Sebago Son]

I'm not home.... and I'm never gonna be as far as they are concerned.

I don't trust them to do anything good with what info they already have, let alone give them more.

 

[The Big D]

I will provide whatever information is required by law. Gladly and happily, actually.

Bear in mind that participation in the census is not optional. 'Tis the law.

Be safe.

The 2010 census is a simple ten question form

2010 Census

Thanks VM.

Question 10. Does Person 1 sometimes live or stay somewhere else?

That’s a dumb question. Doesn’t everyone sometimes stay somewhere else? How much is this costing us?

If the authorities wanted to gather a lot of personal information on me, it would not be hard for them to do so. Heck, I had my fingerprints taken for the first time way back in 1970 for a job in the military. I am an hourly wage earner who pay taxes every year, my financial life is not a secret. I have a driver's license, so my address is out there. I even have been known to buy guns from a gun store and fill out a form.

Believe me, on some off-white PC deep in the bowels of some law enforcement operations, there is all the pertinent Bullet Bob info waiting to be needed.

So filling out a few questions for the Census does not bother me.

Received a letter today telling me that in about a week I will be getting a 2010 Census form in the mail. Ten Questions. They spend money like they were Rich.

The Questions on the Form - 2010 Census

The last census thread was closed as being "political", so don't be surprised if this one has the same fate.

 

[ChadW]

Just looked at the questions... oh my they're awful. (sarcasm)

I'll just answer them and send it back. Besides.. who wants to be avoiding the census workers for 3 months if you don't send it in?
