2010 Off-Topic Census:If you do not post ITT we will come knock on your door 10x

With the 2010 Census in the US underway and the constant, ubiquitous posts about how various groups on GS think another one greatly outnumbers them I figured it would be nice if we got a good census of OTers. Below are a bunch of demographics questions for you to answer. I will then take all the data once the topic has died and make a bunch of pretty charts and tables with it. The results will then be posted in another thread for all to see. That is all assuming, of course, that this topic gets enough respondents (need at least 40, ideally 100+).

So here's the questions:

• Gender
• Age
• Race
• Nationality
• Religion
• Political ideology (Either conservative, liberal, or moderate)
• Where do you get your news from? (if you don't pay attention to news state "N/A")
• Level of education (high school graduate, some college, college graduate, etc. If you have a major or degree list what it's in)
• # of game systems owned (PC and cell phone only count if you regularly play games on them)
• Years spent gaming
• # of unions you're a part of (check your "unions" tab under your profile)
• # of unions you actually visit on a regular basis (regular basis = at least once a month)
• Most visited forum(s) on GS
• Did you fill out your real 2010 Census? (answer only if you're eligible to receive a US 2010 Census form)

"Anti-Conservative?" :?

And while I'm socially conservative, I've realized that I cannot stand the modern conservative movement in the U.S.

Guys like Adam Smith, Milton Friedman, Jefferson will always be respected in my mind, but I will work my hardest to prevent those like Rush Limbaugh, Michele Bachmann, Majority of the GOP from influencing the direction of the U.S.
