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.

Re: The Awesome and Cool Poll Thread - Poll #122: Do you still live in the area you grew up?

Post by Magelin »

I was born in a city, but when i was really young, my parents moved to a village. It also takes, like, 30 minutes or more to go from village to the city by the bus.
When summer arrives, i will definitely be visiting it a lot! As much as i like the serene feel of where i live now, there’s barely anything to do, especially when you have no friends :tssk:
Plus, i just feel more safe and comfortable in big cities, for some reason.

Small towns are either boring or full of teenagers doing drugs and killing people in my exprience..

Thankfully, it’s not the latter.. The only crimes i’ve seen done in this town was riding motorcycles without a drivers license.

Small Towns are quite nice, but I’d rather live in a village or city.

I've always loved the suburbs, not too far away from cities so that nothing intresting is nearby, but not too close to where theres too many people. Perfect in my opinion.

If meritocracy was a thing, all of my hierarchy would be living under bridges sucking pebbles...

... But then again, so would I.

I’ve an idea: What is the longest you’ve ever spent playing a game in one go?

• I’ve never played a video game before
• Less than an hour
• 1-3 hours
• 4-6 hours
• 7-10 hours
• 11-15 hours
• 16-24 hours
• 25-49 hours
• 50+ hours
• I’ve never stopped playing video games before

Well I don’t think Romano and Ceres were Rayman fans back in the day, the only registered because they were friends with Hunch. So maybe there’s a few who aren’t gamers at all? :)

Well, firstly, it doesn’t seem they hang around here anymore. Secondly, even if they weren’t Rayman fans, i still believe they would played at least some sort of a video game.
Honestly, it’s a lot harder to believe someone NEVER played video games at all. Like, they never played Tetris? Or Bejeweled? Or Candy Crush? Or any Flash game? Or… just anything? Hell, my grandma played FIFA before :pfff:

Well, that’s true, and maybe if they’re really, really old..
But also, it’s not like we are doing some international poll or something. It only applies to the members of this forum, right?
So, how many people do you know that are on RPC from third world countries? And got internet access only just now? :angel:
