Zuckerberg Warns Facebook Users to Stop Ranting About Finals | The Miami Flipside (http://miamiflipside.com/2011/12/zuckerberg-warns-facebook-users-to-stop-ranting-about-finals/)

Haha wow. While he does have a point, i'm not really sure how to react to this.

“If you all are really stressed about your academic workload, I have a suggestion for you,” Zuckerberg said as his patience was clearly wearing thin. “Ever consider closing your web browser and actually doing the work that is such a burden on your life? Sometimes I feel personally guilty for creating a drain effect on the nation’s intelligence.”

It's like he read my mind on the last part.

“People sometimes tell me, ‘Mark, you must hate finals too — you dropped out of Harvard.’ And my response to that is, ‘Yeah, I dropped out to start a multi-billion dollar company. You guys are just lazy.’”

Really? Dude is such a douche. More like dropped out to start something he didnt even know would make a dollar, much less billions.

Either way, FB is basically there as an outlet for people to complain lol I dont know why this surprises him, or why hes just noticing this now >_<

I think Facebook is the devil anyway. I don't get why people complain about their finals. I love finals cause they are generally short days for me. I never find them hard.

[Mizel]

I agree, it totally is. I can’t even stand to look at it anymore >_< But I mean, finals suck… I get that lol Studying, stress blah blah blah

But out of all the bad FB has caused…. and he’s complaining about people complaining about finals? >_<

[CraeSC111]

I think Facebook can be a useful tool but people are stupid. Look at how MySpace died.

Finals are a stressful time for a lot of people, complaining is a way to deal with it.
Why the hell does he care what anyone says?

"I'm a dick who dropped out of Harvard to create a website that made me rich by selling all of your information and apparently that makes me better than everyone."

[ReMiXeDg]

Lets get this all straight and stop the misunderstand mints hes a "PRICK"...

[BobTD]

whats all this about facebook almost crashing several times. Over increased usage due to finals? You think the holidays or spring break would have a greater effect on the mass of content.

Apparently he is just venting frustration over facebook facing technical problems. Also he seems like a real ass. Posting that you are stressed out over finals does not mean you are avoiding them. And the president of a company openly stating that its user content should find alternatives, wow, that's just plain stupid. I though that kid was supposed to be smart.

[CraeSC111]

Well with Facebook being the giant it is I'm sure he could say anything besides "we are selling your information" and get away with it.

[Mizel]

Lol And he pretty much did say that, and he still got away with it :P

As long as people have FB, they dont care that they track and give away personal info >_<

[Sunsetforgotten]

To me I find this ridiculous coming from him. He complains about making something that is draining on the intelligence of people, yet he took advantage of it knowing this is what it would do. He got rich playing off of the very thing he is complaining about. He really has no right to tell people how to use the service he created, which really requires no daily monitoring. Zuckerberg is an intelligent person, no doubt, but he is an absolute douchebag.

[thedeparted]

lol what a twat, would be pretty cool for something to take over fb and see him cry bitter tears as he apparently thinks he's a god or something

[apatheticarchetype]

Honestly, he shouldn't be saying anything against the millions of people who created who he is today. It does get irritating, but I just think he's biting the hand that feeds.
