A bill introduced in Michigan would require drivers 75 and older to take regular driving tests.

Under the bill, every four years, those 75 and older would be required to pass:

- A vision test
- A written test
- A driving test

Would you be in favor of this bill in your state?

Because I married ~~a horrible, evil woman, who only wants to rot out my teeth~~ a kind and loving woman, who knows how much I like Brach’s Jelly Beans, she put out a bowl of Brach’s Spice Beans, with extra black jelly beans mixed in. Which beans do you like?

You know how there is a word “inert” but there is no opposite word “ert”. Well, there is also a word “inept”, but there **is** a word “adept”, which is pretty much the opposite of “inept”.

Therefore I propose a new word “adert” specifically to be the opposite of “inert”.

Someone you deeply care about has just found out that they are eight weeks old. The father doesn’t yet know. Neither parent has a particular moral objection to abortion. The pregnant person’s default desire will be to keep the child, but they value your opinion about serious issues. Under what circumstances would you suggest or encourage this person to get an abortion (to any degree with any amount of effort)?

[Rex Heuermann](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/architect-59-arrested-as-prime-suspect-in-long-island-serial-killings/987046/63) pled guilty today to killing 8 women; there is no chance he will get out of prison before he leaves in a body bag. This poll is ‘inspired’ by others who have plead guilty to life in prison with no possibility of parole rather than go to trial & be subject to the death penalty if convicted.

_Hypothetical:_ You killed someone, in premeditated cold blood, in a state that actively puts prisoners to death. Would you

_Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/6691))_

There is on Other option & there is no discussion on the morality of the death penalty & whether it should be abolished. You’re in prison until you die, the only question is would you want that to be sooner or later.
