Canada wades into Facebook

It all started in the year 2003 when I was logged in to the Harvard website, where I was listening in to the conversations of the Harvard students. One of these students was Mark Zuckerberg who was talking about Face Smash and he had just broken up with his girlfriend at the time, so I struck up a conversation with this Mark Zuckerberg. He was talking about creating a dating site. I thought this was a bit odd - a pie in the sky idea since he had just broken up with his girlfriend and he was slagging her off - calling her a bitch and a whore.
I talked to Mark about the idea, and suggested he call it Face Mash. He was intrigued with my suggestion and thought it was a good idea. Mark wanted to call it Face Smash, because he wanted to smash his ex in the face. I convinced him that Face Mash was a good idea and he agreed, but one week later he changed his mind and wanted to call it Face Smash. When I queried him about this he replied 'f.... off you c...- I'm calling it Face Smash'. Two weeks after this conversation he came up with the name Mashable and when I asked him why he chose the word Mashable instead of Face Mash he said 'f,...off you bastard, Face mash is not your idea'. So I re-posted the conversations we had two weeks earlier and he had to apologise and said he was going with Mashable. I took this as a sign that he wanted to throw me off the scent and take the site for himself.
I found the character of Mark Zuckerberg to be deceptive and dishonest and ended conversing with Mark Zuckerberg because of his dishonesty and lack of integrity then you went on and stole the idea facebook then the info to start facebook and the platform from the winklevoss go to hell you shit

Author should do research on seals. I live in NFLD and were the ones your talking about in that statement. Not Canada, Did you even watch the debate when Danny Williams put Paul McCarthy in his place about seal hunting and clubbing? Another note is in 1949 we were apart of the UK, of Britain and we were killing seals then too. So your statement should also include the British. Do some research before firing off your mouth about seals.

People, relax! In case you hadn't noticed in the last... few YEARS, Inq is well known for using "tongue in cheek" humour about EVERYTHING. And yes, I'm writing this as a Canadian.

I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay

Odd comment from the land of fox hunters.
Whats wrong with killing baby seals? You kill baby cows don't you?

Neil you fucking shmuck! This site is now off my bookmarks. Useless amateur crap posted on this site.

Good fucking bye!

What's that, ehhh? Every one of us Canadians grabs some beers and takes a walk out on the ice outside of our homes to club seals most days of the week...and those that say they don't...they do.

Not many people know this, but our other national sport -- hockey -- evolved from seal-clubbing. The word "puck" comes from the sound made when you wack-a-seal, and hockey sticks are just long, bent seal clubs that were used to "play" with some of the smaller seals that were too small for the pelt market. So next time you watch a hockey game, just think about a baby seal being slid across the ice...puck..puck...

Oh, and what's this Facebook thing, ehhh?

"Loyal British Colony..."

Hmm in case you didn't realize but we in Canada are not a colony of England!

Nice touch with the seal slag, especially whilst living in BP's glass house. Note that BP is owned in large part by the British Pension Fund, or "All Brits".
If you can't plug the <british hole in the ocean, you might consider stuffing a sock in your gob until you do.
It seems to me there is far less damage done to the world by a handful of seal clubbing Newfies than there is by 60 million greedy oil-dependant Brits as they continue to devastate the world's oceans so they can retire more comfortably.
Canada can easily go rock for rock against Britain's hypocritical glass house, any day of the week.

Perhaps you can check your history books before posting idiotic drivel like this. Canada has not been a colony of Britain since 1867. Loyal perhaps, but a colony?

As for our privacy authorities going after facebook, perhaps the UK could look after themselves first. The citizens of the UK have the most surveillance per capita in the world. Look after your own privacy before you complain about our efforts. Seen any good CCTV lately?

This must be one of the famous "thousand monkeys creating Shakespeare" results. I mean, no human being with a rational thought could actually write the drivel found in this article. Perhaps this writer (human or otherwise) should consider a career in fiction, they obviously know absolutely nothing about journalism.

Tell me, unless you are against the killing of all animals, what's the difference between killing a baby seal, and killing a baby cow or a baby tuna?

Is it because the baby seal is cute?

Grow up!

If we don't hunt seals, their population explodes because they have no real predators.
Millions of seals eat all the fish, and I mean ALL THE FISH. All would be fine if humans didn't exist cause nature would take care of the balance, but WE eat fish.
Before Americans make dumb comments based on pictures of baby seals you should inform yourself.

Imagine that I collect wasps, cast them in paperweights, and sell the buggers for a rather handy price. Suppose that I steal a wasp out of your garden and sell it. Damage to you, minimal. Profit to me, rather nice.

Now suppose I steal some copper pipe out of the Space Shuttle to sell for scrap, and during launch the Shuttle explodes. Damage is considerably more than my profit.

There is no connection.

Keep the baby seal comments to the appropriate misinformed rant on a long established Canadian industry, eh. Or put you money where your mouth is and set up a Facebook page for a baby seal and post your stupid comments there. You Euro-trash make me sick. Look at your history, at least all we club to death are animals for food and fur not people.

Any chance us in the UK can get in on this? I could do with the cash?
