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?

The “taken partner” effect

Do you think that people who are in a relationship are perceived as more attractive than singles?

The “taken partner” effect is a phenomenon that some may find fascinating and others morally questionable. Psychologists claim that the human brain reacts to the signal “someone has already chosen this person” as confirmation of their value – like a recommendation in the world of emotions. Critics see it as proof of our competitive nature, which makes us desire someone else’s property. An evolutionary theory? Or perhaps just plain jealousy dressed in scientific words? Is it instinct that tells us to pursue what is already taken?

Polygamy

Have you ever been in love with two people at the same time?

Polygamy has divided public opinion for centuries. Some believe that the natural human tendency to love more than one person is a remnant of evolution and ancient social models. Others see it as a threat to fidelity and family stability. Supporters of polygamy cite biological and cultural arguments, while opponents point to moral and legal ones. Can great love really have more than one name, or is it just an excuse?

Is beauty already materialism?

Do you think that focusing on beauty and a shapely figure when choosing a partner can be considered a sign of materialism?

Reflections on whether choosing a partner for their looks is merely physical attraction or already a sign of materialism can stir emotions. In a world where appearance has become currency in the relationship market, the question arises: is “rich beauty” a luxury that buys a better life, or just an illusion? Critics say that the pursuit of the perfect body is the result of the beauty cult on social media, others – that it’s simply the lottery of genes. But if that’s the case, why has nature treated some so harshly? And you – do you choose the heart or the packaging?

Partner’s appearance

Do people you find exceptionally physically attractive often have a different type of appearance from those you imagine yourself in a long-term relationship with?

Strong physical attraction versus choosing a life partner is a topic that can reveal our hidden priorities. Many admit that “chemistry” operates on completely different principles than love and stability. Psychologists point out that instinct may draw us toward types completely different from those with whom we realistically envision a future. Is this proof of the dual nature of human desires, or the result of cultural patterns and social pressure? Check in the poll which side you’re on.

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?
