the good thing is that you can talk about the services you feel that the community needs-you can have anything you want as long as it is made of purple paper.

What do you call it when you fill out a form online, other than "filling out a form online"?

I notice you ignored my points Lawmanmx so I'll continue to bug you ๐Ÿ™‚

i just Like to have the "choice" to fill or not fill in any correspondence, and not to be THREATENED with confiscation of funds if i dont comply.

I suppose they could change the rule to [i]"Anyone who has not filled in the census is not entitled to any public services, benefits, national insurance, healthcare, food, water, housing etc as they have decided they don't exist and as such we haven't been able to allocate a budget for them"[/i] but that is a bit more difficult to implement than a simple fine.

is that so very wrong of me in this "so called" free country of ours?

A country isn't defined as being free or not based on whether you have to spend 10 minutes filling in a form every decade. ๐Ÿ™„

I've got a firm grip of my responsibilities as a citizen of this country. Do you complain when you are [i]required[/i] to anything else in life? Do you pay taxes in this [i]free[/i] country? Do you pay the nice person in the shop when you go to buy something in this [i]free[/i] country? Assuming you're employed, do you show up to work each day in this [i]free[/i] country? etc etc etc.

Like I said, you're [i]free[/i] to leave the country if it doesn't suit you.

Sincerely without malice, ill will, vexation or frivolity... I agree with Kit. What's the big deal? I can't quite see why folk are having their teenage rebellion over this. It ain't that hard, it's no skin off my nose. It's useful for people, some of whom do not seek to harm you. ๐Ÿ™„

You pay bills??

But surely they are correspondence where you will [i]"be THREATENED with confiscation of funds if i dont comply"[/i]?

As the OP: I dont mind how many people, what type of house etc, or even the work Q's that are asked in the form as I understand how they can help twards planning towards the needs of society ( if only that were the case ) ... but religion, nah ... I'm not a religious person and dont think it has a place on the form as what is gained from it?

As far as I am aware ( and I could be wrong ), is not really upto the state to create facilities for religion ( such as churches / mosques / places of worship ). Religion to me is something that you chose to do / follow, chose to participate in, and that you put into it yourself ... and that places of worship are creations of the followers and not the state .... so if its not created by the state for the people ... why ask about it?

I also don't trust the no-belief answer ... dont know why, cant really explain, but i somehow feel that the answer would get dismissed as an I dont care / it wont matter to them type thing.

Dont worry folks, i'll not be preaching that we should all believe in the force and those that dont will be banished to the dark side on bikes with thin tyres wearing lycra.

Was listening to the head of the Jedi Church on the radio 4 the other day and I was left with the feeling it was something not unlike an atheist come natural law movement.

Spiritual without a deity, which sounds a bit like some eastern religions which he admitted was probably the inspiration for the order in the films. New age western Buddhism?

That all sounds like something better than 'no religion' which comes across at best like agnostic or at worst morally bankrupt. Plus you get a lightsaber (hopes).
