You know those census people who ask you a million probing questions that takes

30 mins? Is it illegal to refuse to do it or is it alright that I told her to walk? My dad already answered those questions two years ago and it basically drove him to drink because it was so tedious. I wasnt about to do it. I know they mail them to people too, but do you even have to do it when they mail it either?

Answer #1

Actually, it is in the Constitution and upheld by the courts that a census be done every ten years and, by law, it must be answered.

Your refusal to submit your census can land you a $5000 fine.

Answer #2

Damn, that’s what I was afraid of! Sooo, if it was it was two years ago or even nine years ago, would I have to do it or could I say it hasnt been ten years?

Answer #3

lol … they only go out every 10 years, so it would be difficult to claim that it was done a couple of years ago.

Answer #4

Sheherself said to me it was two years ago when I tried saying it was a year ago because I thought it was and I just got (well it’s addressed to my dad) the thing they send in the mail so I dont know what their problem is then if it’s only supposed to be every ten years. =/ I wish they’d stick with that.
