AITA for questioning everything?

by Sokrates_of_Athens

I am Sokrates, son of Sophroniskos, of the deme Alopeke. AITA?

YTA, because goddangit Sokrates I just want to buy some goddang olive oil, quit making me question whether it really is goddang olive oil

INFO: Well, that's a hard question to answer. By what criteria would you define a person as an asshole? Personally, I'd define an asshole as the thing that emits the clouds of gas when one farts, but I feel you're using a different definition.

YTA. 2500 years after you died, your students' recordings of your bullshit propelled me into a career that's even more of a dead end than yours! Yes, sponging off your wife's family and crashing people's dinner parties pays better than actually teaching students about philosophy. I half suspect the real reason you were executed is that Plato set you up once he figured this out.

YTA. Stop corrupting the morals of our young men and eat your hemlock!

NAH: As Bill and Ted put it as you talked to them, “The only true wisdom consists of knowing you know nothing.” Ask away and party on, dude!

HeyIAmInfinity

YTA: why would you keep questioning everything?

The truth can only be found by questioning what’s unknown and knowing what not to question.

Or a person that keep questioning will waste time and never get an useful answer, an answer that can be used to ask more questions.

YTA for telling Plato what you think defines a man. He's spreading it now, and refuses to acknowledge my chicken.

NTA, if only because the oracle told me that some guy called Diogenes will be way worse some day.

YTA. I don’t like the effect your questions are having on the City and it’s youth.

Most of your questions seem to be “Democracy, do we need it” and “Isn’t Sparta great.”

That’s not philosophy, that’s treason.

YTA. Sokrates my dude you just need to child. Pull up a seat, quiet down for a bit, and just blaze my man.

NodeDotSwift

The first clue that YTA is when your peers force you to drink hemlock.

Nah. You’re the wisest of Greeks. Hit me up later.

YTA, stop corrupting the youth of Athens, dammit!

YTA. Why are you questioning everything? Why do you think you are an asshole? What is the meaning of life? If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? How many beans make five? What is the capital of Australia? How many roads must a man walk down? What’s 6x9? Why is the word ‘asshole’ a word? Could I keep asking these questions all day? Has this joke died now?

YTA get a godsdammed job and look after your wife and kids. Don’t stand around annoying people with stupid questions.
