i have a job working with census data! i do redistricting.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

the census we have is just a form sent to our houses to fill out...you actually send people to interview MILLIONS of people?

well the problem is that while a lot of people are pretty good about those forms, many don't fill them out (so you basically go hunt them down and compel them to take it) or do not have an address to get them mailed to. that's where the field people come in.

i took a stats class last semester that talked a lot about the census.
