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.

Yes the concept of not having to do anything while driving would be exciting!! Though at the same time, I am nervous about putting my life in the hands of an automated system, so I’m left slightly confused. But to each his own I guess.

Well they'd be navigating themselves and clearly wouldn't be on the road if they weren't fit for it. It's safer than falling asleep at the wheel. ;)

High-tech vehicles are very fascinating to me!
It would be extraordinary to have a car that acts on its own. It may drive a lot better than you can, for all I know.

Haha that’s true, and I have to admit that it would be nice to just let my car drive thousands of miles while I’m sleeping, being on my phone, being drunk, etc...

Same here, I could use it to bring me to Lidl, where I can get cheaper Guinness. :P

It's been a month, so I'd like to start a new poll soon. Problem is, I don't have any ideas. :lol: Anyone else have any questions they'd like answered?

I would suggest "Are death penalties appropriate?".

6-10 for me. I recall trying at least 6 and probably a couple more, though I don't recall going over 10.

Linux is fun to try out tbh considering that everyone will be using it soon if Microsoft doesn't cop on and stop spying on users. Apparently a new update has made that even worse to the stage where it has to be blocked via the firewall.

Looks like we've had a healthy turnout this time!

Now, the next suggestion is "favourite handheld console". Problem is, do we really want a poll with seventy options? :oops2:

Well it's probably easier to just use some of the more popular ones, but 70? :lol:

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought would be the best option.
