Citizenship: Is Civilization doomed ?

The 10,000 Reasons Civilization is Doomed website was started by six friends who came to the conclusion that our civilization was doomed. They 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”. They “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.”

The website lists the different reasons provided by people everywhere and the objective is to speak against the idiocy and stupidity of our times. For the moment nearly 5,000 reasons have been gathered by the site, such as Paris Hilton, self-tanning products, plastic bags, Ben Laden and G. W. Bush (you bet!), McDonalds, female circumcision, arrogance, Myspace, the iPod slaves and even… lists. Check out for yourselves and make a contribution…
