Firstly, my apologies to non-English speakers - you don't stand much chance with this one.
Right, some context if you're still with me...Australia v England cricket - Collingwood gives Warne some stick and gets in response "What was your MBE for - scoring 7 at the Oval?". Geoff Boycott is later heard to moan quite a bit about the unfairness of the honours system these days. Cue much discussion on the BBC website, which inevitably asks for comments from the public.
Including this magical piece of non-punctuation...I swear it's a direct copy.
"i think the mbe's are given out and about a bit to cheaply but shane warne comming out and saying what have you done for england. He is still a dam good player and yer warney can bring up the 7's and 10's but he doesent mension the time where collingwood hit 98 or smashing the aussies about for 206 and steven gerrard has probaly acheveid what has to be acheived i think he thurlery deserves it he won the chgampions leauge and they were 3-0 down against a perfectley deasent club yeah theres no point looking back on that game but its such a remarkable acheivment in english football what cant steven gerrard do you tell me he deserves evry bit of."
How bad is that? Even before we start disagreeing with the content (such as it may be discerned), it's hardly English at all. But it's not txt-spk, it's just horrible.

Oh, and judging by the writer's nickname, he is 24 years old. I won't tell you his name yet, as it could colour your opinion.
How good that we do not have such people on this forum :-)
I've heard drunk schizos on acid talk more sense than that! My god.
txt spk makes more sense if you ask me.

pot...kettle. MBE doesn't need an apostrophe (nothing does if it's plural) and you should consider using the odd capital letter.
Um...as an American I stand no chance of being able to read this. Translation please??
Did you ever stop to think that this person may have a learning disability? Do you think it's funny when someone cannot spell as good as you?
Going by recent topics it is easy to spot that you are nothing but a bully. God help anyone who knows you in the real world.

I think he meant:
"I think the MBEs are given out a bit too easily, but Shane Warne is coming out and saying what he has done for England. He is still a damn good player and Yer Warney can bring up the 7's and 10's, but he doesn't mention the time where Collingwood hit 98 or smashed the Aussies about for 206. Steven Gerrard has probably achieved what has to be acheived; I think he thoroughly deserves it. He won the Champions' League, though they were 3-0 down against a perfectly decent club. There's no point looking back on that game, but it's such a remarkable achievement in English football. What can't Steven Gerrard do, you tell me. He deserves every bit of [it]."
That's just what I think it says. I have no idea about English football. lol
