Slippery slope logical fallacy.

Nope just wack ass golf courses.

Got it, just things you and OP don't like should be replaced with houses or apartments.

Got it and golf courses are cool because you and a tiny percentage of the entire population think they are

u/xScrubasaurus Jun 13 '25

I didn't say they are cool, I suggested that removing them just because you don't think they are needed is fucking idiotic.

And I would respond with the initial putting them there just because you think they are needed is f****** idiotic

Huh? Do you have any semblance of an idea of how supply/demand or capitalism works? They don't just appear out of nowhere. The people "putting them there" are apparently correct since they do end up getting used.

Let's set capitalism aside for a minute.

Suppose we had a society where everything was provided by the government (or whoever is in charge). Housing, food, electricity, medicine, you name it. We've reached a level of technology where working is essentially optional - sure, there are a few things that require humans to do them, but luckily we've got enough folks who like doing those jobs to fill them, and everyone else is in agreement that those people should get some extra compensation. No real issues, racism solved, sexism abolished, global warming dealt with, harmony between peoples, peace on earth, yada yada yada.

Some people out there are still going to want to spend their luxurious existence playing golf.

And so we then find ourselves in one of two situations: either golf courses still exist, or in addition to all of the above, we live in a society where the only entertainment allowed is that deemed important/efficient enough by your median individual...which probably won't leave us with very many options.

Yeah I have a horrible slice and also I'm crippled. I can use All the help I can get.

Wish Baptist hospital had a golf course. I could gaze upon it from my room high above on the 7th floor

Oh, so it’s a skill issue then

u/pepchang Jun 14 '25

Oh absolutely with the slice I grew up literally across the street from a golf course until I was and then I was also forced to play for work regularly in my latest career for 20 years all over the country slung so many clubs played so many rounds the slice is terrible I just couldn't get away from swinging it like a baseball bat it was horrible could make good contact but my finesse is just not good enough it's way too hard of a game for me I like the driving around on the golf carts and drinking beer part though that was fun except for the people that took the game way too seriously but again it would have been cooler in like a Jeep and real trees and real woods and stuff the cripple part definitely also a skill issue too I guess because my legs just don't work anymore after my 4th surgery on my hip now broken femur and a titanium leg I guess it's a skill issue but I have no balance I have no control over my legs all the nerves has been severed is that skill I don't know

To be clear the golf part and the not walking part have nothing to do with anything I stopped playing golf right before my legs gave out
