You got the short form Jen, this is the long form:

http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:S979SWnLKEEJ:www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/d-61b.pdf+census+long+form&hl=en&gl=ca&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjMkCps3oi6XhzNSKKcN6A72O_nd0LlPgDFCx_zUMGCzk7yYia7xplaJeNUUluqKrbyew8Q4-Cp1Qn2ltQLTrUwCt4ixqlrQfBksEqisGu7vgEfNSuyPubcDynyXHGC7OHQ4Mk0&sig=AHIEtbT6Cn9tmTzmN2G6kEivJg0ksqrt8g

seems pretty intrusive to me..besides if the census is not legally evaluated for 82 years, then I don't know what good it is to know if someone is disabled would be in the year 2092.


So I just went outside and asked my neighbors..none of them got the "long form" and neither did Ma'am's grand mother or aunt (who live 30 minutes south)...I'd like to see someone stand up and say they got the long form.

You realise that every time you give a non standard answer some poor sod is going to have to type that into a computer manually?



Yes  .

When you tick the boxes they can just get the puter scanner to read it but because you wrote something rather than ticking them boxes they now have to send your form to India and have some low wage worker interpret it.

Putting non standard answers is supporting slave labour!



I thought of that, and the idea that I was oppressing some prole made me feel all fuzzy inside  . Plus, I was expressing my beliefs. And beliefs are more important than anything. What? You don't like my beliefs? You're against free speech? Are you anti-American or sumfink? What is wrong with you  ?

I have nothing against Americans, some of my best friends are from other countries where they don't speak English.

Them is facts.

They will just toss it in the garbage, so you will be wasting time, energy and postage.

and maybe kitten still is laughing, at the possibility of you filling out the US Census, in crayon haha

There was really nothing "personal" in it just how many people lived here.

http://radiotime.com/options/p_35675/Coast_to_Coast_AM.aspx

if you miss the show, this hour will be repeated at 5am EST

He is discussing the questions, and the actual punishment. Questions that people that robbed banks don't even get asked at trial. A criminal has the right to plead the 5th.

hhaha AJ will be chiming in..woohoo

*also, I just noticed the census asks how you get to work, even what time do you leave to get there?? lol no wayyy Big Brother need not sound like my mom.

If we did, we were supposed to hit a number on the phone to talk to someone. They said the purpose was to get information for insurance companies so that they would know what to provide or change.

(They said that the purpose for the call was that the questions weren't asked in certain census forms and should have been.)

I hung up.

also, the Better Business Bureau does advise against giving info over the phone (even door to door) anyways, there are scammers.
