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

[PluMGMK]

I used to have a spreadsheet for all the stuff I was supposed to take care of as a mod, but then I started forgetting to update the spreadsheet!

[Hunchman801]

I skipped the spreadsheet part and went straight to the forgetting bit.

[PluMGMK]

Well, I only created the spreadsheet because I was forgetting stuff!

[Steo]

I still have to update this poll if I can think of anything.

As for the current one, I had Pfizer ages ago so I'd be able to leave my country if I wanted. Otherwise, they make you test negative for COVID before you can leave.

[PluMGMK]

I had Pfizer ages ago too… It's funny, for the first half of the year we thought so little of the government that it felt like we'd never get there, but now we're saying it was "ages ago"

[Adsolution]

I voted very eager. My desire for a swift end to this nonsense currently outweighs my concern about any potential side effects that may not (yet) have shown up in the trials!

Agreed completely. It's kind of mind-blowing how eager people are to take issue with it, and for what purpose…? A lot of people just hate being told what to do, even if the thing they're being told to do is really, really good. The pandemic has gone on this long mostly due to the deniers; they've already killed hundreds of thousands or more world-wide with their amazingly poor decisions, yet they think they're defending our rights (just not the right to life apparently)?

[Steo]

Bump!

This thread has been dead and buried, but honestly this can prompt some interesting discussions. Does anyone have any decent suggestions for a poll?

[PluMGMK]

Should we ask how many doses of Covid vaccine you ended up having? No? There are probably a few suggestions that got buried in this thread, but I can't remember them…

[DaveRattlehead]

I can think about genetically modified food, euthanasia, vegan/non vegan, recycling...

[The Jonster]

I can think of certain diets now that Dave’s mentioned it

[Steo]

So I completely forgot about this again after saying I would revive it some months back. I should probably actually revive it this time.

Anyone got any new suggestions? Or anyone happy with any recent buried suggestions?

[DaveRattlehead]

What about a smoking survey?

[Giant Chicken]

Maybe how many social media sites do you use?

[Steo]

Both of these are pretty valid. I guess the smoking one should have options for whether you smoke, have smoked before, or never smoked in your life?

The social media one is pretty much just going to have numbers as the answers I guess, but people could state in the thread which ones they use if they'd like.

Ho ho ho! Santa believes a Christmas themed poll is in order for all to enjoy!

A Christmas themed poll in December makes a lot of sense, that's a great idea Santa!

I wonder what people would like to poll about then for Christmas, and we can of course postpone the other suggestions for after Christmas.

[DaveRattlehead]

We can ask for our favourite Christmas movie, if we prefer Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve, how long do we celebrate Christmas...

[Steo]

The movie one could work too, but we'd have to mention some of the most popular Christmas movies with an option named (other), and preferably put them as a series, such as Home Alone instead of having multiple Home Alone movies in the poll.

[lyndo64]

such as Home Alone instead of having multiple Home Alone movies in the poll.

how dare you disrespect the cinematic masterpieces that are the home alone sequels

[DaveRattlehead]

Yes, of course. We can include 4 popular ones and an alternative option so people have a variety to choose from. Thinking quickly, I've come up with Home Alone, The Grinch, A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life, Gremlins... and even Die Hard, although that's also a matter of debate. In fact, the survey could even ask if people consider Die Hard a Christmas movie
