Poland and the peace talks in Washington

Do you think Poland, given the enormous support it has provided to Ukraine, should have been invited to the peace talks in Washington (18.08.2025)?

The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has divided public opinion for years, and Poland’s support for Kyiv is undeniably immense – from billions spent on aid to hosting millions of refugees. That is why the absence of Warsaw at the peace talks in Washington raises questions about Poland’s real position on the international stage. Some argue that Poland earned a place at the table, while others say it is not formally a party to the war and its presence could only make negotiations more difficult. Added to this are the tensions in Polish-Ukrainian relations, which weaken Warsaw’s arguments. Is Poland’s exclusion a matter of cold calculation or a deliberate marginalization of an ally?

Humanization of Animals – Dehumanization of Children

Do you think that modern laws and social narratives lead to the dehumanization of children (e.g., through the legalization of abortion on demand) while increasingly “humanizing” animals and imposing severe penalties for harming them?

It is increasingly common to get the impression that modern law works against common sense. On the one hand, there is growing acceptance of abortion on demand, which for many is equivalent to stripping unborn children of their humanity. On the other hand, the brutal treatment of animals is met with increasingly harsh penalties, and their legal status is approaching that of humans. Some see this as a moral decline, others as civilizational progress and proof that empathy is no longer selective. But where is the line beyond which protecting the life of an animal becomes more important than the life of a human?

Genocide in the Gaza Strip?

Do you believe that Israel’s actions against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip can be defined as genocide?

The issue of genocide in the Gaza Strip divides public opinion more than most modern conflicts. Some see Israel’s actions as the systematic extermination of civilians, pointing to casualty statistics and the destruction of infrastructure as evidence that the UN definition of genocide is being met. Others stress that Hamas uses civilians as human shields, and that Israeli strikes are aimed solely at eliminating threats. Where is the line between self-defense and a war crime? The debate is further fueled by theories about global interests and the influence of political lobbies that allegedly block an objective assessment of the situation. Can there be any moral victor in this conflict?

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?

Genetic Modification of Humans

Do you think genetic modification (CRISPR) of humans should be allowed?

The genetic modification of humans and embryos using CRISPR technology is a topic that ignites public debate. Supporters see it as a chance to eliminate genetic diseases and improve the quality of life for future generations. Critics warn, however, that “enhancing” appearance or intelligence could lead to the emergence of an elite superhuman caste, as well as to an ethical slippery slope where the line between treatment and human design becomes blurred. History teaches that every revolutionary technology carries both hope and risk. Is tampering with the code of life the courage of science, or the hubris of mankind?
