Start preparing the resume Raelene!!!

We all know what this means!

View attachment 12233

It basically translates to "pour some ice water on your hate hard-ons trogs, she's not going anywhere." :P

I think RA is well and truly behind her, tbh. She seems to have acted with board support and it's not surprising RA would publicly defend her considering the level of vitriol that is aimed at her.

Welcome back.

The universe is not fine tuned though, it is expanding and increasing in speed. If it was fine tuned as you say it would be stable and constant but its not. It's unbalanced and reactive and continually changing and it's structure is completely random in its make up. Nothing about it says "intelligent design" because the design itself is random. Now whether its the Big Bang, or the Membrane theory or String Theory or simply a Theory of Everything, man will find out why our universe came into existence and we will not stop until we do as its in our nature to find out. And if you want more proof of the non existence of god, why would god put in us that will to explore, to research and find out why we are if all he wanted was for us to accept he did it all?

And your last sentence is what I would call the death knell for all religions, the discovery of life on another planetary body. If that happens than every religion is redundant overnight. And the reason for that it is the premise of every religion we, mankind, is special in that we have been made or created. But the existence of life, even fossilised, microscopic life on another body destroys that premise. The discovery of life on another planet means life evolves and is not created and that we are not special, we are nothing more than the current apex of a carbon based life form evolving in an oxygen rich atmosphere.

And the implications of that are mind blowing. Imagine a Methane based life form evolving in an Argon rich atmosphere? Or a Silicon based life form in an Sulfur based atmosphere?
Well. Science recently was saying the universe could be a closed oval shaped universe where if you reach the end you’ll up back at the start of the universe. You should keep up to date with science.

Lol noooooo you can’t say that, Raelene is a very good boss and it just proves that RA won the battle and Folau lost. RA could have gone to court and destroyed Folau but they didn’t because they didn’t want to and aren’t allowed to say how much the figure was as it is confidential but it is $3mil so you have egg on your face. Folau lost!!!!!!! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Folau was right. Ever since that gay marriage stuff has passed through the weather has gone from bad to worse in Australia.

If we over turn the vote I wouldn't be surprised if it starts pissing down with rain.

I think this only relates to NRL. If she was still in the NRL though, she'd be gone by the end of the week.
Nah, cause Jewberg and Co are still in power when they themselves should have been punted long ago.

Westpac released a similar statement before 1-2 weeks later sacking their CEO... which also means there is an opening there :D

Westpac didn't sack him though. He quit.

Also, the board has come out saying how proud they are that Castle managed to negotiate the payout to such a low price.

He was sacked. On the surface they say he quit in order to save face. It was a golden handshake agreement. "We sack you, you take the money and say you quit."

That's kinda like how Castle "stood down" from the Bulldogs position.

Sacked is such a harsh word... so they have the ol' "quiet word on the side" and suddenly the person decides "to move on and take on new challenges".

Becareful you’re suggesting castle was a major part of the problem rather than just the two men in power being Hasler and dib. She was just an innocent pawn trying to help the club politically off the field as she stated herself winning a premiership isnt and shouldn’t be the clubs number one priority. She was awesome!
