If "Who?" is a reasonable question, would "Who me?" be an unreasonable question?

Before you judge what I have to say: I have read plato descartes and have taken courses in Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology. I am not trying to be an ----hole I am being honest. Here is the real answer: Dont waste your time. Philosophers are pretentious douchebags who overcomplicate the meaning of words to try and fulfill their superiority complex. You search your entire life for the answer which we as humans physically attached to this world will never be able to deduce. Even if you do find the answer late in life then you will have wasted your life thinking instead of doing. Go play a sport, read a book, kiss a girl because once its over it is over. As one pretentious douchebag put it the meaning of life is to be happy. Its as simple as that. (Don't hate me I am trying to put things into perspective and I have an extensive background in philosophy.) 🙂

Correct answer. 100% right. A+ grade and extra credit awarded. (except for the part of the kissing being over when it's over, but no one is perfect)

Go Kurt Vonnegut.

Another from Kurt, in response to "Why bother?":

"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"

It's time to move on to "How?"
How is second to last. I guess there are no journalism students here. We know that a story's lead must answer the following questions: Who, what, where, when, how and why.

Give your best answer and let the editor sort it out.

By Douglas, I believe this is the best response we've seen so far! 😉 (though Vonnegut does rule, too.)

We get kisses for extra credit Miss Ette?! 😵

The answer to your philosophical question is either 42 or entropy.

It cannot be "what"--that's the name of cousin It and his wife's baby.
