Should the West restrict Islam the same way Islam restricts other religions?

Since in many Muslim countries Islam does not allow the presence of other religions and their symbols, should Western states accept Islam on their territory?

Islam and its place in the Western world is a topic that divides societies and reveals the deepest tensions between religious freedom and concerns about security and cultural identity. Critics point out that in many Muslim states Christianity or Judaism are restricted, and religious symbols are outright banned. They ask why the West should be “naively open” to Islam. Supporters of pluralism reply that freedom of religion is a cornerstone of democracy and cannot be limited on the basis of reciprocity. Increasingly, however, voices arise that acceptance must not mean permitting practices that contradict the laws or customs of a given country. Should the West defend its values, even if it means restricting Islam?

Age difference in relationships – tradition or no big deal?

What do you think the age difference should be between a woman and a man in a typical relationship?

The age difference in relationships has always stirred emotions and provoked sharp debates. For some, it’s natural – the man older, the woman younger, as in traditional marriage models. Others argue that more and more often women choose younger partners, appreciating their energy and freshness, while men seek maturity and stability. Still others claim that peer relationships are best – it’s easier to experience the stages of life together and age in sync. Psychologists and sociologists argue over whether age difference truly determines a relationship’s durability, while conspiracy theories add the thread of a “hidden biology” of partner selection. And you – tradition or a modern approach?

Voting rights of seniors – generational balance or demographic dominance?

Should people above retirement age who no longer work have a limited influence on elections, given that seniors now outnumber younger voters?

The voting rights of seniors is a subject that ignites emotions like a spark on a powder keg. On one hand, the older generation has every right to decide, as they built the state and paid taxes for decades. On the other, critics point out that the demographic dominance of seniors distorts balance, as they decide on a future they may not live to see. Controversial proposals are emerging: from reducing the weight of their vote to completely stripping people of retirement age of their voting rights. It sounds like heresy against democracy, yet the debate increasingly circles back to the question of whether the electoral system truly reflects generational balance, or instead blocks changes that would benefit the young. And you – whose side are you on?

Voting rights and living on welfa

Should people who live exclusively on social welfare have the right to vote?

Voting rights and living on welfare is a topic that has sparked heated disputes for years and questions the very foundations of democracy. For some, it is obvious that every citizen has a voice regardless of their source of income – because that is what the constitution guarantees. Others provocatively ask whether someone living solely off other people’s taxes should decide how that money is spent. This strikes at the dilemma of equality before the law versus citizens’ financial responsibility. Supporters of restrictions warn against “buying votes” through welfare programs, while opponents see in it the threat of creating second-class citizens. Is this still democracy, or already a system based on economic selection?

George Soros – brilliant investor or global manipulator?

Do you think George Soros, known for his massive financial operations (e.g. the attack on the pound in 1992), uses his capital power to manipulate markets and politics?

George Soros has been stirring emotions for decades like no other investor. For some he is “the man who broke the Bank of England on Black Wednesday” – a financial master and visionary whose move in 1992 became a symbol of the power of speculation. For Russia, Thailand, or Malaysia he remains a ruthless manipulator, capable of triggering recession and political chaos with a single flow of capital. Critics point out that his foundations supported the Orange Revolution in Ukraine and Georgia and interfere in the internal affairs of states. Supporters, on the other hand, see him as a philanthropist fighting for democracy and human rights. Is Soros a brilliant free market strategist or an architect of global manipulation?

The Walton family – entrepreneurial giants or too much power over America?

Do you think the Walton family (owners of the Walmart chain) has too much influence on the economy and everyday life of Americans?

The Walton family, behind the retail giant Walmart, has sparked extreme emotions in the U.S. for decades. On one hand, they are seen as a symbol of entrepreneurship and the American dream, on the other – as monopolists who crush local stores and dictate working conditions for millions of people. Critics emphasize that Walmart, through its size and political influence, has a real impact on the economy, consumer culture, and Americans’ daily lives. Supporters see it as a chance for cheap shopping and stable employment. In the background, conspiracy theories circulate about the sources of the Waltons’ power and their ties to political elites. And you – has one family’s control over the market gone too far?
