Have you been around 20 year old college kids much? They're drunk, and terrible, and generally pretty trolly at the best of times. I was, as was damn-near everyone else at a brother school of the Zuck's alma mater. I don't buy your assertion that you've never idly had a low-grade cruel thought like that and chuckled at it. Maybe that says more about me.
- actuator 8y agoYeah, I don't understand why people like to bring this point to vilify his character. It is not right to do that but you can hardly expect late teens or early tweens to be that sensible. Zuck just had the misfortune of being successful and his dirty laundry being aired in public.
- cityzen 8y agook, so you all can have that one. How about: "People just submitted it. I don't know why. They "trust me" Dumb fucks" I know, I know, still just college kids being college kids. How about this one: "I wonder how similar that is to the Facebook thing. Because they're probably going to be released around the same time. Unless I fuck the dating site people over and quit on them right before I told them I'd have it done" More? really? ok... how about this: "So have you decided what you're going to do about the websites?" Zuck: "Yeah, I'm going to fuck them. Probably in the ear" and... "Haha man come on. You can be unethical and still be legal that's the way I live my life. haha." I think my favorite part is the "haha" at the end. haha indeed. This one is probably the most relevant today: "We copied his account like his profile and everything except I made his answers all like white supremacist." That is why people like me love to vilify his character. He's an entitled asshole and always has been. He probably sits around in his house with Sheryl and Joel Kaplan laughing about how they have Washington by the balls and they can all do whatever the fuck they want.

- bayareasf 8y agoThe quotes show a hollow moral core for which being young is not an excuse.
- realodb 8y agoIve chuckled at rude thoughts, sure. Ive not thought of building a technology to humiliate people for my amusement. Its an important distinction.
- mcv 8y agoI've been 20 once, and nobody I hung out with at my university was that awful. I don't doubt assholes existed, but that doesn't mean they're not assholes.
- gurumeditations 8y agoI see people use age as an excuse all the time, but the simple fact is that 20 is not 12 and most people are decent enough to not do what he did. It does speak to your character that you think it’s entirely normal behavior.
