Oops, my friend's 10 year old home schooled son got a hold of their census form. It would be unconstitutional not to send in the form....so I guess they are. The first question is filled out: 3 people reside at their street address.

The rest...well...those damn non-zombified home schooled don't play...

Why do they need to know if you have a toilet, or what time you go to work?

I just read an article about that today. The longer questions are in the American Community Survey, which is distributed to 75,000 Americans each month. They say the question about toilets is to help determine the need for sewage facilities. The questions about communite times help communities identify transportation needs.

Its still nunya. I don't take public transportation, never have, never will. As for sewage, what if people use outhouses(some still have them around here) or have septic systems? Doesn't matter. Its not any of their business.

Then local communities need to send questionnaires to their members which would be voluntary to answer. None of the Feds business. I've had it with mandates and threats of prison or fines.

They want something from me....Adveho quod adepto is!

Why do you think it would be unconstitutional not to send in the form?

They're already going to take our tax dollars to fund public transportation and sewage anyway, we may as well help them give us a little bang for our buck. If they have no idea how many people to plan for and they fuck up, they wont be sending us a tax refund.

Why would the number of toilets matter? If I have 10 toilets in my house and shit once a day thats no more strain on the sewage system than if I have one toilet and shit once a day. All they need to know is the number of assholes in the house.

I don't understand why everyone keeps saying this. Is there a longer form than the one I got?

Mine asks for number of persons, race, phone number, sex, name, birth date, part time residence, type of residence. Is there another form with more questions than that?

A random number of people get the America Community Survey:

Just some of the questions on it are: how many toilets you have, how much money you make, employment status, what your mortgage is, what your taxes are and who is caring for your children.

Nothing unconstitutional about not sending in a census form. But taxes (I assume you mean the Federal Income tax) is constitutional.

I do not recall ever seeing the "what time do you go to work" question.If they want to know that it is probably so they know when to rob you of what they have not used congress to already steal from you.

I don't think it existed. I worked for the census never came across any questions like that. the only odd question besides the usual "race, of hispanic origin, age, and relation" questions asked if the household member owned the house with or without a mortgage, or rented. It was really odd...

The own / rent thing is odd.
