Property Tax – Fair or Unfair Way to Tax Wealth?

Do you think that the property tax – calculated based on the market value of real estate – is a reasonable and fair solution?

The property tax, calculated from the current market value of real estate, has sparked debate worldwide for years. Supporters see it as a tool of social justice – those who own more should pay more, which could curb wealth concentration and speculation in the housing market. Critics argue that it unfairly burdens ordinary homeowners who spent decades paying off mortgages and would now face rising costs as property values increase. In many countries, the topic resurfaces amid housing crises and growing inequality. Is the cadastral tax a sensible way to promote social balance, or a form of punishment for owning a home?

Do modern media deliberately weaken the image of men and family values?

Do you think that contemporary TV series, films, and social media intentionally portray men in a negative light while marginalizing family values and promoting LGBTQ ideology?

More and more voices claim that modern cinema, TV series, and social media are systematically rewriting gender roles, marginalizing the traditional image of men and the family. Some see it as a deliberate ideological campaign in which the male figure is often shown as clumsy, toxic, or unnecessary. Others argue it’s simply a reflection of cultural change and a move toward greater representation of different identities – including LGBTQ. Behind this lies a broader dispute: are the media a socializing tool or merely a mirror of a society that is evolving on its own? Are we witnessing the destruction of masculinity or a new form of feminism?

Should there be restaurants exclusively for smokers?

Do you think the law should allow the creation of restaurants intended only for smokers?

The idea of creating restaurants exclusively for smokers periodically returns to public debate. Supporters argue that an adult citizen should have the right to decide for themselves – no one would be forced to visit such a venue. They also point out a paradox: the law allows excluding children from restaurants, yet completely bans smoking. Opponents respond that freedom cannot mean exposing others to harmful smoke, especially employees spending many hours there. In the background remains the question of whether the smoking ban truly protects public health, given that the state still earns billions from tobacco excise taxes. Are “smokers-only” venues an expression of freedom or a nostalgic return to a smoky past?

Should restaurants have the right to ban children?

Should restaurant owners be allowed to decide that children are not permitted to enter their establishments?

More and more restaurants are experimenting with child-free policies, explaining it as a matter of “guest comfort”. Supporters of these rules argue that in a free market, customers should decide – some will choose family-friendly places, others calm and quiet ones. Opponents warn, however, that this is not a matter of taste but a symptom of a deeper problem: society increasingly excludes children from public spaces, treating them as a nuisance rather than part of the community. For some, it’s a normal sign of diversity; for others, the beginning of social segregation. Is limiting children’s presence a sign of maturity or a loss of empathy?

Voting rights of emigrants

Should people who permanently live abroad retain the right to vote in elections in their country of origin?

The issue of voting rights for emigrants has long stirred emotions and divided public opinion. Some argue that voting is an inseparable element of citizenship, independent of where one lives. Others respond: how can you co-decide about a country where you don’t live, don’t pay taxes, and don’t experience its realities? Supporters of restrictions emphasize that millions of votes cast from abroad can distort election results, especially when decisions are made by people driven by sentiment rather than consequences. There are even theories that some governments deliberately mobilize emigrants to manipulate outcomes. Should the right to vote be a privilege tied to genuine participation in a country’s life, or an inalienable right of every citizen?

Dual citizenship among politicians

In your opinion, can politicians and officials with dual citizenship pose a threat to national security?

Dual citizenship among politicians and officials has been stirring emotions for years, especially in a country where national security increasingly intertwines with geopolitics. Can a person holding two passports be fully loyal to one nation? Supporters of stricter oversight argue that it’s a risk – loyalty to the homeland can clash with the interests of another state. Others reply that in the era of globalization this is normal, and demonizing such cases reflects fear of an open world. Debates on dual citizenship often tie into theories about the infiltration of elites by foreign intelligence services. So, is transparency enough to prevent potential threats?
