Facebook, it's not you it's me By Peter Goffin
The Silhouette (McMaster) December 3, 2008 HAMILTON (CUP) – I’m making the call: “Facebook, we have to talk. Things are getting way too complicated and I’m at a point in my life where I don’t want to get tied down. I have school and friends and a job that are important to me and it’s not fair to any of them that I’m always with you.”
Like a lot of long-term relationships, it’s the little things that wear on you over time. Things you once thought were charming or cute now just annoy the hell out of you.
I’ll admit Facebook swept me off my feet at first. A “What Drink are You” application? Amazing! A whole group dedicated to people don’t like waiting in line? Quirky! The cross-eyed kid from my Grade 2 class that I never talked to tracking me down after all these years? Nostalgic!
But now I ignore my long-lost classmate, I never visit my groups, and I just feel bitter that apparently I’m a Banana Daquiri. >> | It shouldn't take pirates to get the world's attention By Hamza Khan
The Concordian (Concordia University) December 3, 2008 MONTREAL (CUP) – With news of the pirate-hijacking of a supertanker off the coast of East Africa dominating international headlines last week, news buffs could be forgiven for thinking that bearded men with wooden legs were once again roaming the high seas.
Last week, pirates succeeded in hijacking the Sirius Star, an enormous oil tanker carrying two million barrels of oil from Saudi Arabia. The ship’s 25 crewmembers, and its cargo worth more than $100 million, are being held for ransom.
This event has sparked panic in global commodities markets, compounding the troubles of the ailing world economy. According to the pirates though, it’s the world’s economy and the pollution it creates that gives them grief. >>  | | Campus Kiss | |
