I think this post just made it clear why you think gay marriage shouldn't be made legal.....

Edit: Fair enough Emma, I've removed those words.

She is probably referring to your derogatory use of the words '***' and '******'.

What if Justin Hodges wanted to get married to another man?

Ok, apologies to anyone who got offended by that, I'm removed those words.

I certainly did not mean it in that fashion.

Look some might get all up about it but I'm a very laid back person. Jokes are good fun as long as there is no intention behind them I never see a problem. I always have people take a dig at me being muslim or leb, as long as it's all light hearted fun it's never bothered me. As such I crack jokes from time to time even if they are not seen as appropriate to some.

I thought this thead was about the Storm.

But not going by the latest posts.

 

[Kimlo]

Oh for god sake, it's human nature for discussion to sidetrack, people need to relax, just because a few posts get off topic it's not a big deal, they get back on topic 95% of the time.

Melbourne Storm's trail of damage revealed in heated email exchange

THESE are the explosive emails taken from computers inside the Melbourne Storm offices that show fears existed years ago that Brian Waldron was rorting the salary cap.

The email war of words is between former Storm chief executive and "chief rat" Waldron and leading player manager Jim Banaghan, who was negotiating a new deal for Kiwi forward Adam Blair in 2008.

The emails from Banaghan allude to Waldron's attempts to pay some of the players outside the salary cap.

It is clear from the tone of Banaghan's emails that he had concerns about the way the Storm was doing business and he wanted Blair's deal to be totally up front.

The email exchange occurred over a nine-hour period on September 5, 2008.

The correspondence between Waldron and Banaghan revolves around Blair's contract extension.

The Kiwi Test forward is contracted to the Storm until 2011 and there is no suggestion he was paid outside the salary cap.

The emails began at 7.20am, with Banaghan requesting his standard 7.5 per cent management fee, plus GST, be written into Blair's contract.

"I do not want it paid to me any way but the correct way," Banaghan writes. "If this is not done by 4pm today I will be requesting the NRL to sort it out, and advising of your previous attempt to pay me via an indirect path." Waldron responds to Banaghan's email almost two hours later, accusing him of "bullying" tactics. "It is not surprising you continue to hide behind your emails and text messages. You have a short memory of what assistance was given to you in your attempts to retain Cameron Smith. To blame us and then become vindictive is extremely disappointing," Waldron responds. "I have no issue discussing matters with you on the phone or face to face when you return. I will not, however, respond to your threats and bullying."

Inglis and Cronk in charity pay dispute

PAYMENTS allegedly made to Greg Inglis and Cooper Cronk from a charity organisation have become the latest legal twist in the Melbourne Storm salary cap scandal.

The Sunday Telegraph has obtained letters sent to Inglis and Cronk by a liquidator questioning why more than $17,000 was paid to the pair.

The documents, sent by liquidation firm Vince and Associates, requests that the Storm pair show evidence that they were employees of a not-for-profit organisation, Unity Foundation, which was wound up two years ago.

According to the Foundation's website, the organisation "utilises Indigenous and non-Indigenous athletes and community leaders to deliver supportive and inclusive programs using core principles of understanding, nurturing, identity, togetherness, and youth".

Liquidator Peter Vince writes that records indicate Inglis was entitled to a salary of $17,664 and as of August 10, 2007, "had received wages at least $4416 from the foundation".

Cronk received a similar letter suggesting he had received $11,467 and it stated the Melbourne halfback was entitled to a much larger salary of $45,871.

I am assuming you actually do work to earn that salary. I think the conjecture is whether Inglis or Cronk actually worked for the charity at all!
