These people that claim they are from Census keep ringing my goddamned door bell. It must have been at least 8 times within 3 months that we told them we are not interested in their 45 minute survey. WTF?! 45 goddamned minutes! My wife even slipped and cursed at one lady 2 weeks ago after slamming the door in her face the week before that. Then they still come back. I just closed the door in a guys face 2 minutes ago. You tell them not interested and they have a million damn rebuttles. How do you get them to stop coming? I am gonna call the police or something. It's really pissing me off.

Kill a few and leave their corpses outside the door to warn the others.
Seriously tho, can't you tell them not to come back? Like a tele-marketers "Do Not Call" list?

Offer them some wine. Than when they refuse, ask them why its a sin since Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding. That usually gets rid of them fairly quickly. Unless its a different group than I'm thinking of...

time to build a big fense around the property!
or maybe a brick wall like a castle wall with a watch tower and maybe have a somebudy with a paintball gun shot them down.
or get a sing that says "WARNING" loose rottwiller on property.

Doesn't the census just count the number ofpeople in your household? How could they have 45 min. worth of material on that?

No, most people get the easy 5 minute census thing. But, some lucky people get the opportunity to take the big one.
Haven't you ever wondered why you see "According to the 2002 census..." ... "people prefer burritos rather than ice cream sandwiches," but you have never answered any of the questions?

Put up a "NO SOLICITATION" sign. They are not allowed to ring the bell in that case.

This is when it's so nice to have a Doberman or German Shepard in a fenced yard. They aren't going to think twice about opening the gate and walking to your door.
If you don't have dogs, post a no trespassing sign. If they step onto your property without your invitation, they are breaking the law. Report them. It might be cool to see what happens.

Don't judge me...

Well, coming from someone who works with the Census Bureau (not for, with them) - it is the law that they have to collect that data from you. They will not stop coming back until they have what they need. They are working for the United States Government, under a mandate specified in The Constitution. There are 2 forms for the census: long and short. They are trying to replace the long form, but it will not happen before 2010.
I would suggest asking to see their identification (they should have an ID badge of some sort) and once they show you, just answer their questions. You can call the police if you want, but they aren't breaking any laws and have federal power to knock on your door until they get the data they need (even if you have a "no solicitors" or "no trespassing" sign - it does not apply to them).
Also, contrary to common belief, the Census does not occur only every 10 years. There are "special censuses" conducted every year all over the country - especially in high growth areas.
In short, I'd answer their questions.

That occurred to me after I posted. They've got the power!
If answering the questions will make them go away, I suggest you do it. Maybe you could have fun with it and do it in your tighty whities or something. :D
