UNC criticized for cutting off Christian fraternity
The University of North Carolina's Alpha Iota Omega chapter lost it's official recognition as a fraternity earlier this year because they refused to sign an anti-discremination clause because it wanted to choose members who have similar religious beliefs.
This story took me aback a bit. First of all, don't all fraternities pretty much discreminate? Oh, sure they say they don't, but seriously, they pick and choose who they want. Same thing here--this is a Christian group and wants to choose Christian members to be part of the group. It'd be the same with a fraternity that chose members because they were Jewish, Muslim or Buddhist. Same thing.
Google: Now Playboy's Latest Bunny
As if there weren't enough media interest in the upcoming issue of Playboy this week, thanks to Terrell Owens' calling Jeff Garcia gay, along comes this latest story about the co-founders of Google and how comments they made might be a violation of the Securities Act of 1993. (Excerpts here. Don't worry, it's C-Net, not Playboy!) Why do I get the feeling that the guys who run Google have this "Open Mouth, Insert Foot" way of operating. I remember when they first talked about going IPO, they were going to auction of shares on E-Bay to see what a good opening price for the stock would be. Now, this latest thing. I know this is two guys who knew how to create a powerful search engine that has become one of the big names on the Internet and part of our culture. But surely they should hire some guys to help keep them from blunders like this.
