Haven't heard that, but I'm still of the opinion Indigenous people need something like this Voice to Parliament, something they can call theirs and something future generations can make use of.

I'm voting yes, but my indigenous wife and son are voting no. Go figure. And I'm voting yes even though I've seen first hand what indigenous people do to indigenous people when in positions of self governance and power. ATSIC was rife with cronyism, nepotism, embezzlement and massive corruption...

Poorly worded, I meant when I got my first.

I know what you mean man, this quote did my head in and I think you're right. I think it means families can have their own internal information biases without any of them realising it?

A moment of great revelation or realisation. I've had a few, the moment I balanced my bike, the moment I understood blowjob, the moment I realised Thanos was right...I've had a recent one. I started watching White Noise on Netflix as I adore Adam Driver as an actor, and 13 minutes into the it...

Bravo Dan, bravo!!!

Pell believed in Hell, so it is my genuine hope he is currently being violently throat farked by a huge demon and that there is a line of them extending over the flaming horizon eager to take their turns. Good riddance to an utterly putrid human being.

Round 7 2016 (I think) V the Scabbitohs, he took on their entire forward pack and smashed them, branded them all with huge hits including Sam Burgess twice. He'll reconnect with Skeletor at the Dolphins I'm assuming.

Poor Sam is still badly infected Verminitis, which is a brain eating disease you get from being associated with that putrid club.

Proof has been produced every time you have asked for it, unfortunately you jam your head up your arse and it becomes difficult for you to see it.

Try telling this to your vatican.

Not that I remember man, that said I haven't finished it yet. As @Powerslide and @Hacky McAxe say, it's worth a watch, regardless of his whacky insights, he presents some very interesting places to visit. Dunno about those two but I've added to my bucket list. :grinning:

I remember watching one show on them where an expert said, "sand through an hour glass makes a pyramid, if gravity and loose sand can make one, how hard can it be?"

Yeah he talked a lot about "myths and legends", Quetzalcoatl, Maui, Osiris and tried to lump them into a "travelling fixer" type person that came from the seas and helped the people learn farming and construction etc, but there vast differences in those myths he completely overlooks.

How long ago was this? If you have a good driving record you should challenge this and keep it and the point. I got done for doing 60 in a 50 zone in my home town by the highway patrol. I'd gone a decade without a speeding fine, so I took it to court and the judge section 10 it for me, no fine...

The culture of cover up continues within the church..."some unnamed third party" is the cause of the delay. You cannot believe a word these pricks say.

It's a meme you precious little snowflake you, it's not meant as a statement of fact but to trigger you and other churchies...which it clearly did so mission accomplished. The pope is not accused of being a paedophile, but he accused of being a paedophile protector, so I'll ask you again, which...

Lol, you've just described the super secret tribunals the vatican operates behind the treaty to protect paedophile priests. That's one of the main reasons for the treaty dumbarse, to protect paedophile priests from criminal prosecution. Crims talking to crims as you said.

Whose worse, the paedophile or the people who protect the paedophile?

Whose worse, the paedophile or the people who protect the paedophile?

I was clever enough to prove that your church's hierarchy are actively protecting paedophiles. Twisting yourself into a pretzel to ignore that fact won't change it.

It certainly demonstrates the putrid culture of the catholic church hierarchy seeing someone outspoken being punished like this as an example to others to tow the line. I'm sure the orders to punish poor old Bob came directly from the paedophile protecting Vatican. The catcholic church needs...

If Father Bob is speaking out against paedophile priests in the catholic church, he's obviously not following Vatican doctrine and is being punished accordingly.

You are naive beyond reasoning, the catholic church has billions, maybe trillions of property and financial assets across the globe. To say it's putting the donations and tax exemptions it gets to "good use" is completely laughable. Mate you are a scream. LOL

But you do, every time you ignore the facts. The Vatican itself, the moral and ethical compass of the catholic church, is actively engaged in protecting paedophile priests. Those "millions of of good catholic people who do the right thing" also turn a willing blind eye to that fact. You judge...

So you were smart for a quantum second? :grinning:

You want an actual fact, you see more with both eyes open. You keep defending that institute that protects paedophile priests, its your duty after all.

That includes the vast majority of catholics who are wilfully ignorant of its "operations" as a protective enclave for paedophile priests. As has been pointed out previously, the Vatican operates above the law and puts more resources to protecting peadophile priests from prosecution than it does...

Yeah and it was a decision that left me stumped. Hutch is ok if he has to defend in the middle, but put in the backline and his lateral movement gets exposed.

Mate we had Drew Hutchinson in our backline for a lot of the back end of the season, as has been pointed out, we need more depth.

I was there for that one, hilarious, they should bring him back and do it again for its comic value.

Rooster fans boo a traitorous, self-centred, big mouth set of love handles, while Scabbitoh fans send death threats to their own players. Joey Manu doesn't get booed because he's a great player and a class act. The green and red Tellie Tubby is only one of those.

Rads has been cleared to resume full contact training so is a certain starter for Sunday. JWH and Verills also cleared to play. Toops and Sua'ali'i resume training this week and both are aiming to be fit to play. Manu = calf strain 2-3 weeks.
