Yeah it is easy to say something is a joke to hide behind it.
It is clear how Greg and Puzz are...very clear...and it is a shame.
Puzz likes to look up words not in common usage to try and make himself look smart...it is a common tactic or empty wannabe intellectuals.

Life / Polish dubbing in movies; why is it so that on polish television all the films are dubbed? [135]
Yeah no matter where the movie is from I prefer original language and subtitles in my language...that way I can hear the original intent too instead of the same guys voice over and over...plus being able to hear the original language very quietly under the lektor is very annoying.

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]
Polish people complaining about Pot...with the amount of booze consumed here...is simply hilarious.
I guess all those people smashing pot bottles and singing and fighting at night are getting to be a problem. All those Pot shops and pubs that serve so much Pot are a disgrace to the country.
People high on weed are easier to deal with than you average sober person.
I think Harry needs a joint...would calm him down a bit. :)

Work / Cost of Living, Average Salaries and Job sites in Poland [263]
The prices you listed are realistic.
The reason people can afford it here is because they don't live alone normally. Families live together with more people in a flat than is common in the west.
You could get by on less if you don't eat out, don't drink much and take public transport.
Poland is not "cheap" relative to what you get...not anymore.

If Poland depended on only natives here the prices would not be able to stay so high for things like restaurants etc...they would go out of business. Expats and business travelers support the costs.

USA, Canada / Marriage laws: dual citizenship (Polish and US) preparing to get married to an American. [65]
I know this is not an answer to your detailed questions but a bit of advice...DO NOT tell immigration or any US official you are planning to marry if you do decide to enter on a tourist visa to do this.
While yeah it is easier and many people do it, technically it is not allowed and all it takes is one jerk immigration officer who is in a bad mood to deny you entry (which they can do without giving you any reason).
Just go over like you normally do for a visit or holiday and don't mention a thing about marriage.

USA, Canada / Marriage laws: dual citizenship (Polish and US) preparing to get married to an American. [65]
Agreed...my fiancee and I are trying to decide where to get married. Here in PL it is stupidly bureaucratic yet her family is here and could not all go to the US with us where it would be MUCH easier to marry.
I refrained from answering your questions because all I have at this point is conjecture. Depending on who you talk to you get different answers.
What I do know is this:
Marriage in the USA is done on the State/County level. Some States/Counties require a marriage license some do not. Sometimes it is as simple as paying a fee for the paper...others it requires a blood test and more paperwork. At worst it seems to take a week to get all the bits in order...at best you can be married in less than a day. To my knowledge you cannot be "denied" marriage unless you are already married and even then how would they know? (not advocating that just saying there is no way a state or county is going to be able to confirm your status in Poland) I don't think you even need to prove your immigration status.
US Immigration is going to be utterly unhelpful and contradictory if you contact them that is why there are loads of firms that help people through the legal hurdles (for a nice fee of course)
The US may be as hard or worse than Poland to get residency/legal in...the difference is in the US you wont have to stand in the cold for hours and pay people bribes to get it done. You can do it from the comfort of a nicee waiting room or the phone :) Isn't progress great ;)

OH hell yeah...marriage in Poland takes at least 3-6 months of nonsense.
There are other posts with details but basically Poland requires an embassy letter saying you are free to marry. The US doesn't give these so they DO give you a letter saying they DON"T give such a letter...and rather than just accepting this Poland makes you go to court to acknowledge the letter that says there is no letter.(this can take a couple months) THEN you take the courts 'permission' and register to marry. (this can take another couple months). Once you get permission you then have to make an appointment to be legally married (so forget picking a special day unless you plan a year ahead of time).
It's like most things in Poland...layered in nonsense and fees.
Go to Las Vegas and you can marry in a drive through in 5 minutes with only ID and it IS legal.

Anyone who gets to travel the world and see natural beauty in other places is lucky. Not just those who go to countries you love Kuchi.
And I know it makes you very angry because it attacks your ego but the fact is most Polish people could never afford to go and do what hariball did.
Sucks to be from a poor country doesn't it? But guess what...it is not the fault of the US or any member of this board that you were born here.
I wish I was born in Monaco to the royal family....then I'd have more money than I knew what to do with...but I was not...I guess that means I should hate Monaco. I wonder where I can find a flag to burn?
The people who whine the most about places have NEVER been there. And yes I have been to Monaco ;)

Jabwaw the point Zion is making in a real jerkoff kind of way is that Poland is hard enough to get a good job in for Poles...foreigners (especially non-white ones) have a real hard time unless they have some very in demand skills that can't be found in a Pole. Most foreigners that work here in good jobs work for an international company that has operations here, not a Polish company.
Good luck

All guys have a pig side that hunts for sex...ALL of us...the difference is if you control it to the point of being polite and normal or if you go around like a chav.
My fiancee's friends could not believe when she told them I cook dinners, wash clothes, clean....none of their guys help out because they have had their mommies do it their whole lives and been raised to let the women do such things. Her friends think I am some kind of prince because of these little things I consider a part of sharing a life together.
