- danaris 1y agoOh, I think golf courses shouldn't exist. They're awful in a number of ways. You want to play golf? VR or minigolf. But (as I pointed out elsewhere in this discussion [0]) why should I have to mention everything that uses water in a way I think is detrimental in order to be allowed to talk about why I think this thing uses water in a way that is detrimental?

- simianwords 1y agoif you are at the point where you have to suggest golf courses shouldn't exist then sorry we are completely on different page here. your logic will extend to just doing nothing at all because it will take resources from other things that you value.
- skinnymuch 1y agoWhy would the logic extend there? If golf courses really do use a lot of water, energy, etc, and they largely benefit a small subset of people, it doesn’t make a ton of sense for them to exist. Of course making the world a better place for everyone is very against western and American exceptionalism and freedom.
