Yaban'na mikai hito.

Google said:

'Swahili detected.'

Which startled me. I didn't know she spoke Swahili!

Translation:

Yaban'na mikai hito.

Well, big help. And anyone claiming the phrase wasn't Japanese, maybe took their first google too seriously.

The body of the message got this result:

Karera wa, kore made wa sapōto o ukeru niataisuru n

Google said:

'Japanese detected.'

Oh, goody, I thought. Here it comes. But no, it was just as dumb at the other:

Translation:

Pale green time, not made ​​of time sapōto ukeru niataisuru n

EPIC FAIL by google and a few other entities.

Sure, I'd like to see some things translated here. Like everyone is supposed to know the French and Latin quotes English married. We don't but Wikipedia or google gives fast results

Thanks again for telling us what it means, I agree that we don't need to be giving support to a theocracy. We have a First Amendment to give freedom of religion and freedom of speech. That includes the freedom to speak about religion!

What is going on there is against the Constitution and although alliances are often made with those of similar values, this is wrong, like the Inquisition would have been. One would think a search for the ultimate truth that religions claim to have, could withstand some criticism.

An apostle said: 'We should be able to argue our case in the free marketplace of ideas.'

The apostle didn't say that everyone had to or would even believe it. He knew that his was a minority view.

That guy should have been allowed to speak because if you feel your idea is true, no one can shake you off by talking against it. You prove it one way or the other. Shutting him down with such brutality is a sign of weakness from a theocracy.

We don't need a theocracy here to return us to former state of ignorance and misery that either ruined or took too many lives over the years.
