Isn't the census getting just a little too personal?

By all means exercize your RIGHT to refuse to answer I'm sure someone ELSE will.

If they show up at my door, ok, you know my address, you see I'm a male, white, I'm XX years old and my name is ________ ________. Now get the hell off my land.

That's what they'll get from me, and not a damn thing more.
 
I don't know why everyone is getting so twisted for. The census has been asking personal and impertinent questions since 1790

You would do well to answer all census questions accurately. The community in which you live relies on federal tax dollars which are distributed based upon census data. Don't short yourself or your town/city.

It's not a game you stupid fucks.

I think if it wants additional information from me then it will have to pay me. Until then I will only answer the one I am required to in order to know how many representatives my district gets.

What kind of an idiotic reply is that. You minimalist ass wipe. Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep.

Give it up for the census all of you.

You've got nothing to lose and much to gain.

I suggest you read the Constitution. The PURPOSE of the Census is to determine where our Representatives come from. All they need for that is how many people live where. All the rest is fishing. I will answer all the questions but they are NOT part of the purpose of the Census.

Thanks for that. But I belive the results derived from the census are used for much more than determining Representative boundaries. Such boundaries are often drawn based upon the whims of those elected, not demographics. Such is the case in Illinois.

The importance of obtaining sample sets within a universal population are essential in defining such demographics. Ideally the census will give an accurate depiction of a population, allowing a snapshot from which can be identified those groups to be so represented.

may I suggest you do not answer the door in a dress

Census takers are looking for just that- an a dress. Dress as you like, but answer all questions accurately. You fuck hamsters don't get it do you.

Define America. You're just a data point, nothing else. Why let your over-inflated egos hamper the process? Help yourself help others.
 
do you people think the census is partisan or what? what excuse do you have for not answering...other than stupidity?

Some people actually believe in LIMITED Government. It is none of the Governments business unless it is JUST about who lives where for the apportioning of House Seats.

If you believe that abortion is a right protected by the Constitution then you would believe the same, a right to PRIVACY. That is what the Supreme Court claimed gives you the right to an abortion, a right to PRIVACY. Yet every 10 years they violate that supposed right with inane questions for idiotic purposes.

As to your other question, YES I believe that Obama is politicizing the Census this year. It has NEVER been run from the White House as that alone appears to make it partisan. There is NO reason to run it from the White House EXCEPT to play with the numbers.
 
the census program is nothing more than a "jobs program"

in that way it is being used ....but i think refusal to answer the census will just lead to more of this

Don't forget to tell them about your twin brother.

The Questions on the Form (Text Version)


How many people were living or staying in this house, apartment, or mobile home on April 1, 2010?

We ask this question to help get an accurate count of the number of people in the household on Census Day, April 1, 2010. The answer should be based on the guidelines in the 'Start here' section. We use the information to ensure response accuracy and completeness and to contact respondents whose forms have incomplete or missing information.


Were there any additional people staying here April 1, 2010 that you did not include in Question 1?

Asked since 1880. We ask this question to help identify people who may have been excluded in the count provided in Question 1. We use the information to ensure response accuracy and completeness and to contact respondents whose forms have incomplete or missing information.


Is this house, apartment, or mobile home: owned with mortgage, owned without mortgage, rented, occupied without rent?

Asked since 1890. Homeownership rates serve as an indicator of the nation's economy. The data are also used to administer housing programs and to inform planning decisions.


What is your telephone number?

We ask for a phone number in case we need to contact a respondent when a form is returned with incomplete or missing information.


Please provide information for each person living here. Start with a person here who owns or rents this house, apartment, or mobile home. If the owner or renter lives somewhere else, start with any adult living here. This will be Person 1. What is Person 1's name?

Listing the name of each person in the household helps the respondent to include all members, particularly in large households where a respondent may forget who was counted and who was not. Also, names are needed if additional information about an individual must be obtained to complete the census form. Federal law protects the confidentiality of personal information, including names.


What is Person 1's sex?

Asked since 1790. Census data about sex are important because many federal programs must differentiate between males and females for funding, implementing and evaluating their programs. For instance, laws promoting equal employment opportunity for women require census data on sex. Also, sociologists, economists, and other researchers who analyze social and economic trends use the data.


What is Person 1's age and Date of Birth?

Asked since 1800. Federal, state, and local governments need data about age to interpret most social and economic characteristics, such as forecasting the number of people eligible for Social Security or Medicare benefits. The data are widely used in planning and evaluating government programs and policies that provide funds or services for children, working-age adults, women of childbearing age, or the older population.


Is Person 1 of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin?

Asked since 1970. The data collected in this question are needed by federal agencies to monitor compliance with anti-discrimination provisions, such as under the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. State and local governments may use the data to help plan and administer bilingual programs for people of Hispanic origin.


What is Person 1's race?

Asked since 1790. Race is key to implementing many federal laws and is needed to monitor compliance with the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act. State governments use the data to determine congressional, state and local voting districts. Race data are also used to assess fairness of employment practices, to monitor racial disparities in characteristics such as health and education and to plan and obtain funds for public services.


Does Person 1 sometimes live or stay somewhere else?

This is another question we ask in order to ensure response accuracy and completeness and to contact respondents whose forms have incomplete or missing information.

I don't see any questions about income or how much you pay for your mortgage or rent or insurance or utilities...

Where does this guy get his information?
 
You would do well to answer all census questions accurately. The community in which you live relies on federal tax dollars which are distributed based upon census data. Don't short yourself or your town/city.

It's not a game you stupid fucks.


Did it not occur to you that the fact that " The community in which you live relies on federal tax dollars which are distributed based upon census data" is a problem? The census was not meant to be used that way.
