Census ??

    Dunno what board this belongs on but am
    sure it will be moved if necessary....

    As some of you may know there is a census
    coming around on August the 7th. For those
    who don't know, a census is where the
    government gets your details like number of
    people in the house, religion, etc. If there
    are enough people in the country, about
    10,000, who put down the same religion, it
    becomes a fully recognised and legal
    religion. It is for this reason that it has
    been suggested that anyone who does not have
    a dominant religion put down "Jedi" as their
    religion. Don't worry, you can't get into
    any trouble. You're just helping to mess
    with the government in a small way. So send
    this on to all your friends and tell them to
    put down "Jedi" as their religion and we can
    have "Jedi Knights" running around. Yes,
    this is a Sci-Fi thing, but it will also
    **** with the government. So if not because
    you love Star Wars, then just to annoy the
    government.

    ...and annoying people is very important...

    ( Note: If you dont forward this to all your
    friends your skin will turn green like
    Yoda's - which may not be such a bad thing,
    young Jedi wink.gif )


    You never expect the Beefy Inquisition !!!

    FYI the Irish census is supposed to be on the 29th April 2001 (this mont smile.gif ) but due to the outbreak of foot and mouth it will be postponed untill 28th April 2002. frown.gif

    the original idea was originally thought of in Australia where they are in dire need of Jedi-Knights and I think that there is a fine for misleading information given, around $500 in Australia.

    Still though, I would like to be a Jedi Knight ordering pints in my local.
    adnans: "No, the pint is on the House"
    Barman: "The Pint is on the house, you may proceed!!"

    result
    adnans

    Whilst happy enough with the religion I have at present (I recently installed the pray-o-matic 2001 ) I must confess I'd have an attraction to the Sith version smile.gif.

    Can I sit on the jedi high council?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,313 ✭✭✭Paladin


    Its funny, today I was reading this article by an english bishop/priest (cant remember) who was comparing christianity to "The Force" and was encouraging the force as principly, a damn good way of life.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,219 ✭✭✭plastic membrane


    Screwing the government ? Annoying people ? A Jedi craves these things....

    Damn it Jim, im a doctor, not a Beefy King !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    The high council may consist of the
    following members :-

    Well I wanna be Yoda, or maybe Mace Windu
    ( "Hand me my lightsaber, it's the one that
    says baaad mutha fu<ka" or my all time fave
    "Your fathers lightsaber, when you absolutely
    positively have to kill every last
    Stormtrooper in the room, accept no
    substitute"

    And thinking am I and the man of membranes
    that Curly Kharn can Yoda be Yes.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 890 ✭✭✭Wyverne


    well i mean like i said i think there would be quite alot of people on for doing this,

    but what chance do we have of getting 10,000 names on to it ???

    i think we should try and organise a national organisation for it lol

    if Adnans is right then we have another year in which to do it smile.gif

    what do yis think


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,657 ✭✭✭OSiriS


    I would have to agree with Wyverne on that, if you really want to succeed people would need to get organised about it, and I really doubt that your "Jedi" religion would be officially recognised soley based on the results of a census, it would require some kind of groundwork established, but hey if you wanna **** a few ppl off, I'll help spread the word=]

    hmm
    well I've already gottn 2 email off some irish people
    I hope I don't always be getting them from now on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,399 ✭✭✭✭Thanx 4 The Fish


    Righto then, well all we need is a Central
    Jedi sorting office, will take a while to
    organise but with the right kinda national
    exposure, it could happen, perhaps we should
    get an ad going on TG4, I'd say all three of
    the peeps who watch that would get involved smile.gif

    Perhaps you mean a census enumerator? A censor being something completely different.
