mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 – protection or acceleration of genetic diseases?

Do you think mRNA vaccines against COVID-19 could have accelerated the development of diseases to which vaccinated people were genetically predisposed?

mRNA vaccines for COVID-19 have sparked both hope and fear from the very beginning. For some, they were a breakthrough in medicine; for others, a dangerous mass-scale experiment. More and more often the question arises whether these preparations could have accelerated the development of diseases to which people were genetically predisposed. Official sources reassure that there is no evidence for such a mechanism, yet public space abounds with stories of sudden deaths among athletes, a rise in cancer cases, or autoimmune diseases. Some see this as conspiracy narratives, others as a signal that risks have been underestimated. Did the vaccines save millions, or did they trigger dangerous processes in the human body?

Open relationships – experiment or recipe for breakup?

Have you ever been in an open relationship and do you support this model of partnership?

Open relationships have long sparked both fascination and aversion. Some see them as proof of courage and emotional maturity, others as debauchery. Supporters emphasize that monogamy is a cultural construct, and that humans were not naturally created to live with only one person. Critics counter that such arrangements blur the lines of loyalty and destroy the foundation of trust. Psychologists warn that open relationships carry the risk of jealousy and emotional inequality, while conspiracy theories even claim they are deliberately promoted as a tool to weaken family bonds. Is an open relationship the future of intimacy, or an experiment that ends faster than it begins? Vote and find out!

Spanking as a method of upbringing?

Do you support the idea that a parent should be allowed to spank a child as a form of discipline?

Spanking as an educational method has sparked debates in Poland and around the world for years. Some argue that a symbolic spanking is an effective, traditional form of discipline, and that banning it is an attack on parental rights and an attempt by the state to take over child-rearing. Others respond that it is nothing more than physical violence against a child, just given a softer name. Supporters of a moderate approach add that spanking can be a last resort when all else fails, but even that provokes opposition from child rights advocates and psychologists. The dispute is fueled by evidence of the long-term effects of violence as well as conspiracy theories suggesting that spanking bans are part of a plan to weaken the family as an institution. And you – do you believe spanking is a normal parenting tool, or rather a hidden form of violence?

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?
