What, no Dudeism.

Nah, but there is Vampirism.

[Grizzo]

What, no Dudeism.

That falls under ZEN

[Grizzo]

Actually, I like the look of this bloke, seems to have his shit together.
Think I'll do that religion.

And that is just him asking for the tithes to be collected, wait until he gets going on the sermon.

Once a week is not nymphomania.

You will have to speak up.
I'm blind you see.

For several censi now I have just answered the questions I want to answer (bugger all) and scrawl "intrusive' across the rest of the form ...

Every statistician knows that no data is actually better than incorrect data. And that a small accurate sample is much better than a 100% sample, that is full of rubbish.

Thats one of the reasons you can be sure the census is about collecting personal information not statistical information.

A voluntary sample would give high quality data. Thats what a statistician would really want.

But most of this thread is about people discussing what garbage they are going to put on the form.

I will quietly be joining you all. I will put nothing on the form that is correct.

if i knew you better, this is a great open to some shit slinging. for a start you'd have to put don woman... and once the bean counters know you bleed out the crotch, well.. anything else is written off as "normal" innit?

LOL I wouldn't be worried.

Last time I said I didnt have a job, but I commuted to work by boat.

Which is a neat feat as the GIS output shows your meshblock residence, and there is no water for miles except in my brew barrel quietly fermenting.

Brilliant, I think my commuting will be done by Tardis this census.

[Akzle]

[BigAl]

I hear that 'Prosserism' is a new religion catching on, as long as you don't originate from Wogistan.

[Scuba_Steve]

i don't have a letterbox

they come to the door


Ya gotta question the whole point of these things tho, we've got a whole lot of Govt depts with all this info anyways (minus maybe religion & some living arrangements).

[FJRider]

Not a good idea to tell the cops you are going to shoot them Been there done that. They turned up wanting to arrest me for not filling out the census years ago, I thought they were joking, but apparently they can.

Leave the country for the day. The census forms are only required by law to be completed ... IF you are in New Zealand (or its territories) at the time of census.

The Wizard of Christchurch had his own method of doing this ...

From the Census site ..

Filling in census forms is required by law. Under the Statistics Act 1975, everyone in New Zealand on census day must fill in a census form. You could be fined if you don't participate or if you provide false or incomplete information.

If legal action becomes necessary, the fine is up to $500, with a further $20 a day for each day after conviction until the person completes the forms.

well, guess i'll take my door off and stick it out on the road then... get my rocking chair out and polish my shotgun...
