Alcohol and criminal responsibility

Do you think a person who committed a crime under the influence of alcohol should receive a lighter sentence?

Alcohol and criminal responsibility is a topic that has divided public opinion and courts for years. Some argue that intoxication reduces awareness and control, so the perpetrator does not act fully consciously, which should result in a lighter sentence. Others emphasize that drinking is always a conscious choice, so alcohol cannot be an excuse. There is also hypocrisy – the state earns millions from the sale of alcohol and then relentlessly punishes those who break the law under its influence. It is worth noting that in some countries the degree of intoxication is genuinely taken into account when determining the severity of the penalty, which further fuels the debate. Should alcohol therefore be considered a mitigating circumstance?

Religion and ethics in schools – compulsory, voluntary, or completely outside school?

What do you think the status of religion and ethics in schools should be?

Religion and ethics in schools have long been a source of heated disputes. Supporters of compulsory classes argue that morality and spiritual values should be the foundation of education, and that without them young people easily fall into nihilism and consumerism. Opponents see it as an attempt to impose ideology and restrict worldview freedom – they point out that Poland still pays the price for the privileged position of the Church. Part of society demands neutral ethics instead of religion, others would like to completely remove both subjects and move moral upbringing to families and communities. Or perhaps schools should simply remain free from such disputes? Cast your vote in the poll!

Health Education in Schools – Necessary or Harmful?

Do you think health education should be mandatory in schools?

Health education in schools is one of the most divisive elements of the curriculum. Some believe that children and teenagers have the right to reliable knowledge about health, puberty, sexuality, and the existence of many gender identities, so they can consciously protect themselves from diseases and make responsible decisions. Others warn that it is merely a way of introducing ideology into schools and taking away parents’ right to decide how their children are raised. Supporters of compromise call for classes to be available only with parental consent and in a neutral, medical form. So, is health education a necessary support, or rather a risky social experiment?

Renewable energy – salvation, illusion, or control?

Do you think renewable energy is the future of global energy?

Renewable energy is a topic that heats up global debates like burning coal. Some see it as the only chance to stop the climate crisis and break free from oil and gas dependency, while others warn it’s an illusion – panels and turbines will never replace stable sources like nuclear or gas. Critics point out that the green transition increasingly smells of corporate interests, where under the banner of “saving the planet,” new markets are conquered, and control over citizens grows. In the background, conspiracy theories emerge – about deliberately steering the energy crisis to force societies into “green dependence.” Is it real salvation, or a grand deception?

Should Ukraine attack targets deep inside Russia?

Do you think that Ukraine, defending itself against Russian aggression, should carry out attacks deep into Russian territory?

Ukraine’s attacks on targets deep inside Russia are one of the most controversial issues of the war, dividing public opinion and experts. Supporters of this strategy argue that it is not only a natural right to self-defense, but also the only real way to weaken the Russian war machine. Critics warn, however, that crossing this line could lead to uncontrollable escalation and even trigger World War III. There is also an economic aspect – striking oil and gas pipelines would harm not only Russia, but also Europe, which depends on these supplies. Some voices also claim that it is not Ukraine making the decisions, but the West dictating the course of the war. So is Kyiv fighting for its own survival, or is it carrying out someone else’s plan? Cast your vote in the poll and decide where the boundary of self-defense lies.

Social Media – Freedom of Speech or Necessary Control?

Do you think social media platforms should be regulated to prevent the spread of disinformation, protect children, and safeguard user privacy?

Regulations around social media are one of today’s most heated debates. Supporters of state intervention argue that without control, platforms become tools of manipulation, fake news, and a danger to children. Opponents warn that “regulation” is often just another word for censorship, and politicians could use it to spy on citizens and silence inconvenient voices. The question also arises: is handing control over the flow of information to the state or giant corporations just as dangerous? Or should freedom of speech remain absolute, even at the cost of risk?
