HeadingNorth Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Can you opt out of filling in a census?. You cannot. Certain questions are optional, but the whole point of the census is to get a snapshot picture of the entire population. In fact, the only reason why the information on a census form can ever be produced in public, is this one; it can be produced in court to prove that you have not filled it in.

It seems like a huge invasion of privacy I am surprised they don't want to know how often we answer nature's call. Ps Thanks for answering my question.

clairelaw123 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 You don't have to answer truthfully..........who'd check? No one would check but that doesn't mean it's not stupid to do that. Check the site to see what the information is used for before deciding to lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It seems like a huge invasion of privacy. That's why such enormous pains are taken to separate the information from the names of who supplied it. Anyone revealing census information in that manner faces a prison sentence.

Fareast Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 What will they ask ? How many times and for what purpose do you visit your restroom [ ! ] daily ? [ this question will help your concerned government in forward medical planning operations ]. How many times each day do you indulge in any kind of carnal activity ? [ details must be supplied on page 49 of this form ]. [ See above why this question MUST be answered in full ]. List all people over the age of 5 years who you contact by internet at least once a week. Do you ever have negative feelings about your government ? Have you ever been in prison, fined, bound over, given a suspended sentence, warned, or questioned by the police ? If so, give full details on page 103 of this form. Are you sick to death of filling in stupid, intrusive forms and would you therefore like to emigrate to New Zealand, Afghanistan, Panama or Iran....or just anywhere ??
