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).

17%
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 can see that poll being very popular especially with Ubisoft or Rockstar titles :)

I hadn't even realized the poll was over already :oops2:
That sounds like a good idea. :)

I wasn't really sure what the options should be, but I tried my usual good, middle, bad. Hopefully that's okay! :P

I'm going with excellent idea to keep things up to date, but there are a few games that the creators did ruin by updating them, ahem EA :lol:

I'm not pointing any fingers ahem Star Wars Battlefront

I like the idea, but man it's the file sizes that are the problem for me. They're too big. I don't have hotspot data on my phone so I have to go over to my sister's house when she is not working and use her hotspot data for updates on my PS4 and sports games. Thankfully I don't have to do that often.

Okay then, in the absence of other suggestions, I've decided to do a "heavy" one (it's been a while!).

Also, for next week, I was thinking about something to do with the fact that you have to be 21 to purchase alcohol in the USA. Good? Silly?

I voted yes. While I don't like the thoughts of abortion because of it being technically murder, what if a woman is raped for example? Being forced to have that kid is ridiculous in my opinion. Plus if a woman wants the abortion bad enough, they're just going to go to England and have it there anyway where it isn't illegal.

Not saying I 100% agree with abortion being OK and in some cases I would strongly disagree with it, but a woman should have her own choice / rights.

Sounds like a plan, Plum! Keep hovering over that idea, maybe alcohol laws or possession or something like that? :)

Yipes, this is coming quite late! Well, I've decided to do a simple enough poll on the aforementioned topic.

I'm kinda curious what everyone who saw the trailer for BG&E 2 thinks of the game. Maybe that can be the next poll? Personally I'm more excited than ever for the game! :D

I never played the first Beyond Good & Evil. I may have to research it and see if I'm intrigued enough to buy it. At least several people here seem to like it.

Has any poll lately surpassed four votes? I wonder if I should suspend this for a while…

Hmmm, maybe as another suggestion, it could be this:
What do people think of the European Government's passings of Articles 13 and 11?

After the hiatus, I think we'll go with this, or a version thereof. :)

Well, I'm glad that in the end these articles weren't passed. Hm, I'm not sure how many people will actually vote since I imagine most of the members will be spending some part vacationing (if they're not in school) :oops2:

Before I forget, here's a suggestion for the next poll: What do you mainly use to communicate people? (Texting, calling, email, chat rooms etc.)

I prefer all those except calling, I feel my voice sounds really weird in a call. Like my voice is an octave higher than what it actually sounds like. :lol: :oops2:
