The Awesome and Cool Poll Thread - Poll #131: Would you pay more taxes if it meant receiving a pension when you retire?

[Greengoop]

I was also surprised to not see meat feast on the poll, maybe that’s just a thing in the UK/Ireland.

[Rsandee]

There's the meat lover's, every country is familiar with that.

[Greengoop]

Yeah, must just have a different name overseas.

[Rsandee]

Well you just managed to make that sound like you'd have to traverse a gigantic body of water just to arrive in a country where we call it a meat lover's pizza, while in reality it's more like a little puddle or pond.

[Greengoop]

Maybe a little hop across the stream!

[EdgyRabbid]

Yeah honestly I think these are all European names cuz idk wtf half of these are

[Rsandee]

Do you have something like poutine pizza over there?

[EdgyRabbid]

No but we dip bread in gravy

[Rsandee]

nothing wrong with that, I like to have bread with olive oil and garlic

[DaveRattlehead]

Any ideas for the next poll?

[Master]

Do you like keeping the original packaging/boxes for items you own?

[Greengoop]

Should age restrictions be completely abolished?

[Steo]

Should the age be lowered when it comes to being arrested for crimes? It seems a lot of teens commit crimes all the time and pretty much. There was even a recent one where a bunch of them harassed an Indian guy on video and humiliated them while torturing them. They will get away with this because they are young with the current system for example.

[Greengoop]

What, completely? I thought there was just less severe punishment for teens. Yet somehow vulnerable kids manipulated into the drug industry get serious lifelong punishments.

Mmm, I like this one!

I'll update it this evening.

[EdgyRabbid]

In Canada the age for being arrested is 12. Is the age higher in Europe??

[Greengoop]

Google exists, but to answer your question, it differs between countries.

[DaveRattlehead]

Thanks Steo for the suggestion! It's okay to have these kind of polls sometimes...
So, should the minimum age for being arrested for crimes be lowered?

[Greengoop]

I voted for yes, but it depends on the crime. Some things deserve a lifelong prison sentence no matter the age, and others shouldn’t be an issue until you’re much older.

[Steo]

Personally with the stuff that goes on around the area that I'm seeing all the time, I definitely feel like it should. I think people are taking advantage of the current system, knowing full well that they can't get in trouble. This even leads to kids delivering drugs or massive gangs of teens committing crimes, including harassing an innocent foreign person who was only trying to earn a living. The fact they can abuse the system and get away with it is why nothing changes, so I will vote that it should be lowered.

I also understand that what Greengoop said is relevant, that it depends on the crime, however, when mass gangs of teens are harassing and even terrorising people, along with openly selling drugs in the streets, those are definitely things that should not be sliding.
