I agree. It's certainly a good question to ask of anything you spend your time doing. I just don't think papasmurf is really interested in an answer. He's just trying to stir people up--in other words, trolling.

You mean papasmurf's attitude? You're right. Philosophy is not highly regarded in the US. Although, I think papasmurf is fairly unique in his attitude that anything that has no use for physical tasks is not worth spending time on. I think it's safe to say, for instance, that most people enjoy being entertained (music, theatre, movies, TV).
