Speed limiters in new cars

Do you think manufacturers should be required to install factory-fitted limiters in new cars that prevent exceeding the legal speed limit?

A factory-installed speed limiter in new cars is an idea that divides drivers and experts. Supporters speak of saving thousands of lives, reducing accidents, and disciplining reckless drivers. Opponents see it as another step toward total control over citizens and taking away their right to make their own decisions – even in emergencies. There’s also the financial aspect: would states give up billions in speeding fine revenue? Or is this the beginning of cars that decide where and how you drive?

Mandatory work for prisoners

Do you think prisoners should be required to work while serving their sentence?

Is prisoner labor a path to rehabilitation or a legal form of cheap slavery? Supporters speak of rehabilitation and repaying the costs of imprisonment. Critics remind us that forced labor in confinement can be a form of repression rather than repair. Many point out that the state is eager to use free labor, hiding it under the slogan of “re-education.” Is mandatory work behind bars a fair solution or a return to camp-like methods?

The Whole Truth About Pharmaceutical Companies

Do you think pharmaceutical companies aim to permanently cure diseases, or are they more focused on maximizing profits?

Do pharmaceutical companies truly want to cure us – or just keep us in a state of chronic treatment? This question is being asked more and more, not only by skeptics but also by ordinary patients. In a world where billions are made on illness, it’s hard not to question the priorities of the medical industry. There are accusations of hiding effective treatments and reserving real cures for the rich. For some, it’s a conspiracy theory – for others, a logical business decision. Who really cares about our health, and who about our wallets? See what others think – and take a stand in the poll.

Mandatory Military Service

Do you think mandatory military service should be reinstated?

The return of mandatory military service is a subject that divides society more than it seems. Supporters speak of national security, discipline, and patriotism. Opponents warn against coercion, a loss of personal freedom, and an outdated vision of the state. In an era of drones and cyber warfare, do we really need universal conscription? Or is it the lack of civic military training that’s weakening our defense? Does the state have the right to demand readiness to fight from young people? Cast your vote – before someone else makes the choice for you.

Is the EU starting to resemble communism?

Do you think the European Union is increasingly resembling a centralized, controlling system similar to former communist structures?

Is the European Union drifting toward soft totalitarianism? For some, it’s a symbol of peace and cooperation; for others – a growing control apparatus where bureaucracy replaces the will of the people. More and more voices claim that EU institutions are taking over member states’ competencies, pushing ideologies above nations’ heads. Is the ideal of unity quietly morphing into a centralized structure resembling former communist regimes – only repackaged in a subtler form? Or is it just another conspiracy theory for eurosceptics? See what others think – and ask yourself: do you still feel part of a free Europe?

Abortion Today – Euthanasia Tomorrow

Does the legalization of abortion not pave the way for the social acceptance of eliminating the elderly, the sick, and the unproductive?

Abortion and euthanasia – two issues that have long divided public opinion – are now increasingly mentioned in the same breath. For some, legalizing abortion is a sign of progress and the individual’s right to decide about their own life; for others, it’s the beginning of a slippery slope toward the social acceptance of eliminating the “unnecessary”: the elderly, the sick, the unproductive. In an era when debates over demographics and healthcare costs are growing sharper, the line between freedom of choice and the selection of life can dangerously shift. Is this a bold reform, or the prelude to a dystopia where human worth is measured by usefulness? See what others think – and decide where you stand.
