Why send the form in if it’s going to be filled out incorrectly. Sounds like they are doing this to be able to count a person as a different sex, etc regardless of what they really are.

I am beginning to wonder if the smart train left these people at the gate.

Because you have DARED to ask a hetero-normative question which could conceivably cause emotional distress to racial, sexual and religious minorities, you have been classified as a HATE CRIMINAL and will be immediately arrested for transport to your area's nearest Diversity Reeducation Gulag, where you will begin an open-ended stay under close supervision, heavy psychotropic medication and severe disciplinary oversight.

Please immediately sign over all of your personal assets to Government control, remove all articles of clothing, wear only a cheap hospital gown and stand outside your front door patiently as you wait for Diversity Police Pickup.

Be advised that failure to comply with these instructions or any abusive language directed at Diversity Police representatives will result in additional criminal charges against you and a dramatically-escalated disciplinary focus.

Thank you for your cooperation.

“Imagine we had two pillow biters in our town in 2000, but now we had six of them. If we didn’t return the form, we wouldn’t know how many pillow biters we had. If you don’t return the form, we don’t get our fair share of funding for things like gay parades and bath houses.”

Thank you. Now when that stupid "buses" commercial comes on I can remember this and laugh instead of screaming at the morons "That's not the reason for the census you idiots! It is only to determine representation in congress and any other use is unconstitutional"

My daughter thanks you also as she will be able to stop covering her ears whenever that stupid commercial comes on.

This violates the 14th Amendment. As the Boston Globe found out when it tried to offer benefits to Gay couples that were living together. But not Straight couples. Why not just count Gays in the Census so we can get the true number of their population?

Because then we would also have to count chess players, auto mechanic hobbyists, back woods hikers etc and every other practicer of a chosen behavior.

The constitution does not segregate people by behavior. Only by age and sex.

The main point of the census is to say who lives where, the government probably doesn’t care if they check husband or wife, they’ll just count it as part of “X People live in this area”, along with everyone else.

That’s a classic!

I was ready to do something subversive, but realized they asked fewer questions than they asked my ancestors in the 1800’s. They didn’t even ask about the bathrooms, like usual.

On tonight’s news they showed people of mixed race filling out the forms. Some were checking a box for each origin they happened to have. One checked four boxes. I wonder if the gov’t will count him as four people.

And you think this is the END?... On the contrary, these people are SICK as I consider any person who is addicted to depravity. Don't be surprise in not a distant future... If the sickos want to "marry" their DOG or a PIG?...

You don't think so?... You WAIT AND SEE.
