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.

Also having never been with a partner before I find it hard to tell, but I went with yes.

Another suggestion: What do you usually do before going to sleep?

Oh and I picked no.

Such questions can have an undetermined amount of answers. Anyone could do something different before going to bed so you should re-think about a better question or I will report you to a member of staff.

I'm thinking one about biomedical enhancements would be good.
As in, would you have some artificial enhancement added to your body?
Yes, certainly.
Only for medical reasons.
Only to save my life.
No, never.

Sounds good to me. I think you should go ahead with that one (when it is time of course). :)

The poll is over, but I would have voted no. Or does Raylex count?

As long as it looks like a female, it doesn't count. :up:

On the medical side of things, if there's enhancements to rid me of my allergies, I'd be game. Other than that, I wouldn't mind indulging in some extra augmentation, but not in excess to the point where I feel I'm losing my sense of self.

I voted for medical reasons. Not because I think there's anything wrong with having a body mod, just that I imagine it would be bloody expensive and I can't think of anything that would be worth the cost.

Wouldn't you know it, I had a fairly good idea for a poll a few days ago, but it's slipped my mind since. Looks like I'm throwing open the floor to suggestions again!

I vaguely recall discussing this previously, and this might be a bit similar to the previous implants question, but I'll bite.

"Are current wearable technologies (such as Smartwatches, Smartglasses etc.) simply novelty items, or do you think they can serve a legitimate purpose?"

Interesting, though maybe it could offer more choice for answers by rewording it to something like “How useful are current wearable technologies (Smartwatches/Smartglasses etc.)?”
With options such as “Necessary”, “Fairly practical”, “Occasionaly useful”, “Novelty only” etc.

And that reminds me of the idea I had! This one's better though, so let's do it.
