In less than 24 hours, the fates of thousands of same-sex couples fell into disturbing ambiguity before Justice Minister Rob Nicholson cleared things up on Friday. On Thursday, it was announced that all same-sex marriages of non-residents performed in Canadawould be considered void, if the marriage would not be considered valid in the couple’s home country.
Currently up for debate in the United States House of Representatives is the Stop Online Piracy Act. The fact that this bill even exists in any form is perfect evidence on just how broken the U.S.political system is at present.
Most people work 9-5, seven days a week, and at the end of the week, their employer pays them for the work they’ve done. That money gets spent on rent, food, hydro, and, if there’s any left over, fun. But this all goes in the shitter when your employer mistakenly overpays you.
The ghouls walking past you aren’t sick; they didn’t catch an early cold, nor have they been assigned the earliest-possible midterms. They don’t have food poisoning and they’re not all naturally Edward-Cullen tinged. The truth is, they used to be students just like you- until they wound their way through a labyrinth of graduate school applications of mythological proportions.
It is absolutely ridiculous the amount of attention that superstars Beyonce and Jay-Z commend on a daily basis. Thus, when Beyonce announced her long awaited pregnancy in an immensely public fashion, the celebrity obsessed instantly became infatuated with the already famous fetus.
America is a big place, and it is therefore absurd to assume that every single citizen holds the exact same views. If that were the case, we wouldn’t bother with having different presidential candidates.
People are constantly asking me why I’m in a cat club. Do we talk about cats? Do we sit around with our knitting (actually some of us do…) and gossip about feline breeds? I wish it were that simple. Bishop’s University Cat Association isn’t a cat club; it’s a second chance at life.
If a student is in a wheelchair, their ability to go to other residence buildings is severely compromised. Abbott, Kuehner, Pollack, Norton, and Munster are five residence buildings that are completely inaccessible by any other way than foot.
A topic which hasn’t been sufficiently covered as of late is the Occupy Movement. I’ve been surprised that more people haven’t been talking about this whole thing, whether their opinion is good or bad.
Have you ever noticed how impolite we are with each other in our daily lives? I bet most of us haven't even noticed this peculiarity of our campus culture. Foreign exchange students have surely noticed it, along with many of us slightly more conscious individuals. I noticed it right away in the first few months of my academic career here at BU. And yet, I am guilty of it too.
