Law / Which Polish cell phone (+ Internet) operator is the best? [18]
pakiet means that you pay once and get Internet credit only. but in Play you can top up phone with 30pln and you get valid calls for 1 year, so that's not big limitation.

I think that quality of all networks is similar. Perhaps service in call centers differs.
Most of people move to Play, so I guess that this company has the most fair prices.
Prices:
2 GB - 30zł should be enough for 1 months for smartphone. It looks that the bigger packet you choose, the more MB you have per month for the same price.

Work / How is the Warsaw job opportunities for international students? [43]
Choose different country. In Poland you will not find a job. You can get visa only if you do full time studies and then there is no time for working, nor somebody would like to employ foreigner without knowledge of the language. Check Russia. It's similar country to Poland, but bigger, so more opportunities ;)

It's probably experience. It's above average salary and let's not forget that they have retirement after around 20 years of military service. That means thy can be retire in the age of 40. Some 20 years before normal people. IMHO it's stupid system.

English is an international language. I guess you also knew English then.
You have some obsession.
everybody is learning. Even natives learn all the time new phrases and words. languages evolves. And if the goal - communication - is met then it's not only practicing :)
truism
Because most of people don't have such obsession like you have. For many the goal is communication not language purity.
Knowledge of a language is not binary. You don't need perfection to communicate. Only you think so.
To sum up your case. You hate people breaking your native language. You have talent learning foreign languages. You enjoy learning them. That's why you think that everybody living in foreign country has an obligation to learn it's language to perfection.
But where is there space for professionals who use English for their work (lets make them native English speakers, so it doesn't hurt you that they butcher it) during 1 year contracts in various countries around the world? In my opinion it doesn't have scene to learn new language every year. Especially that most of people cannot learn so fast. Should all soldiers in Iraq learn Arabic meanwhile?
If a Belgian plumber visiting the States claims to know more English than I Flemish or French, who is he??
English is an international language. I guess you also knew English then.
He can butcher MY native English language, while I have to speak his with precision??!
You have some obsession.
(I say for the umpteenth time) kindly admit that you're all PRACTICING, not speaking English the correct way it should be spoken

If you never learn, your English will never improve.
truism
If good English is not your goal, why bother speaking it?
Because most of people don't have such obsession like you have. For many the goal is communication not language purity.
What's more, if you honestly think you're communicating in English and you really can only be lulled into false security by ignorant, non-native English chat, you're really living in a fools' paradise.

Real Estate / Stronger zloty - potential driver for Poland's property market [42]
I think most economists predict bigger growth, not recession in the future. Deficit is not so dramatic. Total debt needs at least 10 years to reach dangerous levels. level 60% will be moved away with OFE money which will buy a little bit of time for lowering deficit. And how it will continue depends on the situation in Europe.
And that's true that there is not much sense to look at ration GBP/PLN, because Polish trade with UK is not so big.
If Poland is heading into a recession as I think some have suggested, why would the PLN strengthen? By comparison of deficits?

Real Estate / Stronger zloty - potential driver for Poland's property market [42]
I think that's true assumption. Currently złoty is weak because of historically low interests rates in Poland and mentioned insecurity. In long term everything goes to mean, so low interests cannot stay low forever. But who knows how the situation in Europe will develop. Some say that after historically low interests in the world they'll have to go strongly up and then many countries may have problems financing debt. But if that's true, then we are really in the middle of crisis, not the end. who knows :)
So if you think that the "worst is over" we could face a 10-20% appreciation of the zloty towards Euro!

No placebo is not an youtube video. My point is that to notice weather some healing effect is caused by placebo or not, scientist must perform statistical work by giving real medicine to 50% of population on which it's tested and to other 50% fake pill, lets say sugar.
Doctors don't do that, so how can they know that it's not the placebo effect? Can you explain me that?
