Would you pay more taxes if it meant receiving a pension when you retire?

Yes, the state should guarantee a pension for its citizens.

Yes, but a mixed model would be more efficient (50% state + 50% private pension plan, for example).

No, the state does not have to manage my money; I prefer to have it myself and opt, for example, for a private pension plan.

I put "Don't know" as well. Marriage isn't really something I see in my future, but then again it's possible I'll meet someone who'll change my mind!
Actually the draining experience after my parents attended a wedding last weekend briefly made me want a referendum to abolish marriage, to supersede the one on gay marriage. :fou:

I've never put much thought into starting a relationship, much less getting married. I don't know, if one thing leads to another it might happen but marriage or a long-term relationship isn't on my bucket list.

In the unlikely event that I somewhat get a girlfriend (for free anyway, I am too much of a scrooge to pay for an Ukrainian wife), marriage is off the table for me. I'm not religious at all and the perspective of a divorce (that seem inevitable nowadays) presents more drawbacks than advantages to tie the knot.

Same.
But did you know there are discounts on Ukranian wives actually ? And also from the ex-Yugoslavia.

If I do meet a long term partner (which I suppose I hope to one day), I still can't imagine getting married. Apart from a few possible boons such as sharing a bank account and other legal things, it just seems like a huge hassle without much of a plus. Even getting married in a registration office seems kind of pointless, and I don't think marriage intrinsically means anything concerning the actual relationship, I suppose because I'm not religious so there's not much of an appeal.

Well, "don't know" trumps "yes" and "no", which tied. What a funny result!

Anyway, the next poll's about pets. Not really that exhaustive, but at least there's an "other" option.
Vote away!

To be honest, I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to do that, but I decided that forcing people to pick one would give stronger results. May not have been the right decision. :P

I have 2 dogs and 1 cat, and I love all of them but omg, I mean I would love my cat more if she didn't suddenly scratch me without no reason :fou:.

PS: Voted for dogs :coeur:

I've had 3 goldfish and my grandma has a cat, out of the options I'd have to say cat but I went with other. My ideal pet, which I hope to get one day, would be a giant African millipede. They're so cool :mrgreen:

I think the next poll should be :
"Do you plan to have children"
It would be a good continuation of the last one.
