    I am asking, how bad is it?

    The environment has a capacity to handle some pollution. If the pollution caused by golf courses is negligible then why should I care about something that pales in comparison to that which is causing real and apparent harm.

    I see a couple of acres of grass that makes people happy. I see thousands of acres that are clearly damaging the environment that i love. Why should I care about the little bit that gets people outside enjoying the outdoors? Why do you sling insults instead of changing my mind? I’m open to change my mind, just have a conversation with me.

    Are you a conservationist or a preservationist? Do you believe humans should enjoy the land we protect, or should humans be kept away from the natural world to protect it?

      I’m a fucking rationalist and a realist. You’re a delusionist apparently.

      there’s so many resources, we can spend them foolishly on bullshit that benefits few, or we can devote our energy, space and production to saving our own asses.

      do the fucking math, and please, stop trying to convince me your milquetoast excuses are anything but “fuck you, I don’t care” - because your indifference and petty justifications communicate loud and clear dipstick.
