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.

While video games and food make me happy, I’m not really sure I would call them luxuries. :P

I think even though I admittedly would probably buy myself some nice things just for the sake of it, I probably wouldn't change my current life.

I think it would need to be something slightly more specific than this, since this question itself won't specify whether they're even doing something that could have a positive outcome should they succeed.

I went ahead and just came up with a simple one myself for the time being.

Maybe:

Do you like the new sprite changes made in Redemption's latest update?

I guess I can do one like this for the Rayman poll yeah. I won't criticise you about this being the wrong thread though, I have no right to after the mistake I just made in TTQ. :P

Don't worry about it, everybody makes mistakes. ;)

And yeah, I realised this is not the Rayman version. :lol:

Either way, I went with another one since I'm interested to see what others think. As for this poll, it's usually close to 8 hours for me, so I guess I'd go with 6-8 hours. Sometimes I would sleep a little longer, but usually in that case it's a broken sleep anyway.

Anywhere between 6-8 hours. Though when I sleep and when i wake up is often a problem for me. :lol:

Usually go to bed at 23:00~23:30 and then get up at 8:15. Of course, that definitely doesn't mean I sleep all that time, so I'm probably closer to six hours than the 9 that that superficially resembles. :fou: Went with 6-8 for that reason.

I don't really have a fully set time when I sleep and wake up. These days it's between 2-4 and then I wake up around 10-12. Though, if I have something I need to do the next day, I almost always wake up early. :fou:

I have a terrible sleeping pattern. Sometimes I sleep at like 5-6am then wake up at like 2-3pm, and other times I stay up until a ridiculous time like 10am. I need to stop doing that, I'm a bit old for it. :lol:

It will definitely take time if you're used to that kind of schedule. :P

So I was thinking the next poll should be based on pineapples on pizza. Do people like it or not, or do they just not have an opinion on the matter? What do you think? I have another idea too but I wanted to pitch this first. :mrgreen:

We'll go with the pineapple on pizza one for now since I have no other ideas.
