Even if he's a legit Turkish guy, he's still saying some dumb, unrealistic crap on here. And being ATOT, we need to treat him accordingly.

If I came on here asking you all if I was a good man, and that I want to move to Hollywood with my 50 movie ideas, etc etc you'd all shame me.

do you realize how much can get lost in translation?

He could have been asking "am I behaving correctly" or something similar.

Run what I said through Google translate and tell me what you get back

More clearer Translation but not all the way clearer, maybe likes 85% more clearer:

Title: What should I do?

On Friday, a good friend and I, like good enough to say I love him, had a big fight. We work together as sports commentators, he owns the company. We were talking about who is the best running back of like ever. And he said O.J. Simpson. I said Frank Gore. He laughed at me and said he has never seen Gore do anything. I told him, “watch some film and if you do not find elements of a good run, come tomorrow evening at 18:00, and I will show you'' I said you could study film on Frank Gore. I've read more books on Gore, than not. You can test me on that, it’s about the only test I could pass. He told me to agree with him or quit. I quit my job. In fact, tonight was my last day and I'm bitter, but because I loved him. This past Saturday and Sunday in between his university exams, (he got in there because he is getting his masters in Sports Commentary) He watched some film then called me and said,

“You did good, bro”

I asked,

“Am I good man?”

He said, "yes."

Should I ask for my job back?

will you, please?

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand that
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Are you a good man, or just a troll? Many here think you are just a troll.

If you are not a troll, do the following two things below. It will help prove you are not a troll:

1. Please post what you wrote above in your native language.

2. Then post the url (the web address) of the translation site that you used to translate what you wrote into English.
1 -) is okay, but how will you know my language?
2 -) Okay, I will never leave a link .. But how I'il make viewing of the video?

alicosgun, please show us you are sincere and not the troll many here suspect you are.

1. Post exactly what you wrote in your OP (your first ,at the top of this thread), exactly as you wrote it. We now know you write in Turkish.

2. You used a site on the web to translate what you wrote into English. Go to that site, and go up to the web address bar at the top of the page, and copy that web address, and then post it here.

3. Do NOT fail to do both of these things.

On a side note what are you translating here? No way you got all that from post #1

I see a slight thread resurrection has already taken place today. So about those "elements" in the OP, you both will get rich quick if he discovers any new elements. If he just finds existing ones like cobalt, zinc, hydrogen then no biggie, unless it's a lot of gold or platinum.

So I took the original text in the OP and put it back trough Google Translator to get it in the original Turkish. Then took that and put it through Translate.Ru to get it in Russian. From there I used Bing Translator back to get back to English to get what I posted.*

Shit, I used a herka when it should have been a derka in the original translation.

Now I am stuck at Gauntanamo Bay. :(

Think I will need some of those Turkish Towels :( :(
