[solarman216]

So who is going to answer questions on their sexual preferences for one, its my business and will not be answered, like very many of the other invasive questions, what is the general opinion on here, Rick

ive not idea what YOUR sexual preferences is.


but each to there own
!!

but im sure there are a few questions ill not answer

I find many of the questions we are asked in everyday life offencive and unnecessary, for example, at the dentist I am asked my ethic group every time I go and the choices on the form are silly and inadequate.

and as you say sexuality is private, and subjective. I have a friend, a woman who prefers the company of women, (who is also a Dr of sociology) who came up with an interesting way to look at sexuality - there is no such thin as a homosexual or heterosexual person, there are simply sexual experiences, people should not be labelled by their choices. I agree with this - each person and relationship is unique.

off my soap box

i have never answered a single census questionaire,they threatend me with court fines alsorts,but never followed it up lol

I dont think ive ever done a census questionairre...at least I cant remember doing on. But anyway, in response to Ricks comments, id say those types of questions are irrelevent, invasive and personal.

I think the question about sexuality will be optional as are the ethnicity questions.

When I did the last census I just made up loads of answers as they can hardly check up on you as its confidential !

It might be compulsory to return the form but the manner of the response is down to you so how can they validate the replies ?

If I say I am a Naxolite or a Zorastrian how are they going to check this is my political or religious belief ?

the last council questionaire about gauging there clientel got filled in as agy and lesbian muslim,gypsy i didnt want any of there favorite groups to feel left out!
im not on voters reg either, you could of course fill forms in as michael rodent or scot f'alltodowithu
i think jedi is now a recognised religion unsure about cling ons id have to check!

err clingons are race, cling ons well something else

whats agy, her off how clean is shite hole?

makes you wonder - if they are optional, what is the point?

I love census quiz time
We always put the most obscure answers we can think of.
I seem to remember last time we were all Jedi clerics , my job was "The Book" , as in the hitch hickers guide to the galaxy Peter Jones (that's me)
Our children were of the night and the house is occupied by several pigs who pay a small amount of rent

99% people will diligantly fill them in,my mom an dad used to! theere was talk of doing away with it as we all apear on tonnes databases its pointless and can be done cheeper by cross referencing them.
