Welcome to the 10,000 Reasons Civilization is Doomed website. This site was started by six friends who, sitting around the dinner table one Saturday night, came to the conclusion that civilization was doomed. We felt this way not because of the inevitable dimming of our sun, or an errant asteroid, but rather because of the idiocy of our times. Frankly, we are tired of the fake optimism, superficiality, non-talented celebrities, doped-up athletes, dishonest and illiterate politicians, corporate thieves, wife-beaters and evangelical terrorists rampant in the world today and we decided that one way of making ourselves feel better would be to list them for all the world to see and to add upon.
This is a list that is started by the people, aggregated by the people and an offering to all people everywhere that want to take solace in a list that proves that we are not being fooled. Rather, we are on to all the bullshit out there and want to make it clear to anyone that adds to this list that you, too, can take comfort in like-minded individuals that have come together to express the 10,000 Reasons Civilization is Doomed. Perhaps if we are heard, some of the doom can be deterred.
Thank you for contributing to this list.

* We, the Vezzanello 6 (from hereon referred to as the V6) reserve every single right to delete and/or edit any contributed reason without any need to explain ourselves. We will strive for objectivity and even that good thing called justice, or at least being just.
* We kindly ask for your support in maintaining a positive and engaging environment.
* We encourage you to post under your real name but we understand if you prefer to post anonymously.
* Please don’t list your high school sweetheart that broke your heart ages ago as a reason civilization is doomed. Stick to that which is widely known and understood.
* You can make your reason as short as you feel possible or as not-too-long-please as you need to make a good argument.
* If we feel a reason is strong enough to be moved to the top spots we will do so at our discretion.
* No prizes of any sort are awarded.
* Once you contribute a reason we hereby declare that we can use it &mdash without asking for your permission — in promos of all sorts (e-mails, t-shirts, mugs, bibs or cloud letters in the sky). We are not looking to con anyone but tracking people on the internet for permission is as difficult as maintaining a Hollywood Marriage.

The V6 are four women and two men. All six represent three different nationalities from the American Continent. Four live in an island and two in a mass of land. Between all of them they speak a total of five languages: English, Spanish, Hebrew, French and a little Italian. Two are left-handed and four are right-handed. And we, collaboratively, bid you a good day.
10,000 Reasons will be down for maintenance for a few days, possibly weeks. Nothing to worry about, we just need to figure out a couple of back-end issues to decrease the energy spent.
