I was asked this question in philosophy class. Theres nothing more to it, just "Why?" There is no philosophy section here so I ask the same to you all.
My opinion: Why not?

That's awesome! I didn't think of that.
I was puzzled by this one.. I didn't learn this in philosophy.. Which philosopher brought it up?

No... my philosophy professor gave it to us as a quiz one time.
My answer was: why not?
Its all to see how you answer the question. Some people wrote paragraphs just about 'why?' I wrote 2 words and got an A for it. Its all about the way you think.

I wonder if that was the first time your professor got that response from a student. I mean people writing just the three words "this is risk" for an essay titled "risk" is a common example of people trying to be clever and writing as little as possible.

I see...*Strokes chin* I would probably say, "Because it is so" or something to that effect.

Why?
Why do you ask?
Why are you bothered?
I'm not bothered because I like to be teased.
If you ask me again, I swear I'll be pleased.

This isn't a debate at all.
More like rethorical question.
