Just throw em in the trash Jon...they'll never know how many people there are if everyone does that! :laugh:

They can come to my door if they want to know if i exist. It can't be something good for you, probably trying to find out if you can be taxed a bit more.

Some FYI, I believe you can be prosecuted if you do not fill out and return it, I may be wrong, and I bet they wouldn't attempt to prosecute you, but I would read the fine print before tossing.

I received this email yesterday:

************************************

According to the U.S. Census Bureau:

9,000 people are having sex right now ~
2,000 are kissing. ~
100 are getting oral sex, and ~

1 lonely soul is reading emails.

You hang in there, Sunshine!

I received one of those about two years back. If its the same thing you are referring to it was pages and pages and pages. I ignored it and they sent me another. I ignored that one too. They then called me, and I told them that the questions were none of their business, and that I would not be returning it. They kept telling me that I was required to fill it out and return it, but never threatened serious consequences or anything like that. I was very pleasant with them on that call and just kept telling them that I would not return it. It was the last I heard about it

If they start prosecuting people for not filling out the census papers they had better be ready to deal with some pretty pissed off folks. We've ever gotten the survey. Is it pretty long?

I've received the Canadian census short form and long form. Not a big deal, to be completely honest; I wonder how intense the US census is to be so objectionable?

 

[lherzolite]

I just remember it being really long maybe a dozen or more double sided pages.

I think the best way I can answer why I found it so objectionable is because of the value I place on the principal of privacy. My refusal to respond was more just my own insignificant act of disobedience rather than finding any of the questions in and of themselves objectionable.
