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?

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? Take part in the poll and decide!

Free healthcare and medication – a citizen’s right or a utopia?

Should medication and health insurance be free for every citizen?

Free healthcare and medication have divided public opinion for years. Some argue that health is a fundamental human right and the state should provide it free of charge – after all, can life really be measured in money? Others point out that “free” is an illusion, since it still means higher taxes ultimately paid by citizens. Supporters of compromise believe at least basic treatment and essential medicines should be available at no cost, while the rest remains in the commercial system. The issue is also controversial because of theories that pharmaceutical corporations block reforms, as free access would cut into their billions in profits. So is free healthcare a right, an illusion, or a dangerous utopia?

Are paper and wooden disposables really eco-friendly?

How do you assess paper and wooden straws, spoons, and cups in the context of ecology?

Paper and wooden straws, spoons, or cups are now seen as an “eco-friendly” alternative to plastic, but the issue is far from simple. Supporters point out that they decompose faster, reducing the risk of lingering in the oceans for hundreds of years. Critics, however, note that their production requires not only deforestation but also massive amounts of water and energy – often more than plastic. On top of that, there’s the inconvenient fact: most paper cups have a PE or PLA coating, which makes them non-recyclable and leaves them ending up in landfills. So isn’t this just “greenwashing,” a clever marketing trick to ease our consciences?

Free Will

Do you believe humans possess free will, or are our decisions in reality predetermined or controlled?

The topic of free will has divided philosophers, scientists, and theologians for centuries. Some claim it is the foundation of moral responsibility – without it, life loses its meaning. Others argue that our choices are merely the product of chemical reactions in the brain, determined by our genes and environment. Some theories add to this the idea that we are part of a simulation controlled by higher beings, and our “freedom” is just part of the program. Does destiny exist, with us merely playing assigned roles? Or do we truly create our own fate? Cast your vote in the poll and see where the balance tips.
