    What am I supposed to be taking away from this? Why is this presented like it’s evidence of an argument?

      I posted this three days ago.

      68 upvotes. That means at least 68 people understood what I was saying.

      You are the first person to ask ‘what does it mean?’

      So, even as baffled as you are, what was your wildest guess as to why I posted it, and why other people agreed with me.

      If there were no upvotes, I might consider that I’d been too obscure. As it is, I question your understanding more than my position.

        So you don’t get it either?

        Then why’d you post it?

        My guess is you’re trying to depict not landscaping the area as an act of disrespectful negligence, but… it’s the outer part of a golf course. The outer part is supposed to be rough and harder to navigate, to punish people who hit their ball there.

        Of course he wasn’t going to bury her in the green, or the fairway. Those areas must be maintained, and there a gravestone would disrupt people who were hitting their ball accurately.

        Am I way off-base here? You’ve chosen twice to be unhelpful as to your intended meaning now, so I’m not sure I’m bringing up points that will even resonate with you.

          Yes.

          If you were in a club and a comic made a joke you didn’t understand, would you assume they didn’t know what the joke was.

          You are the only one posting about how confused you are.

          Like I said, if I was getting a lot of people asking, I’d edit my comment.

          At this point, I just assume you understand it, but you’re playing the “Ignorance Is Strength” card.

          You know, like when folks ask 'why do gays need to get married?"

            Ok, well, I guess I’ll never know what the problem is, then, since you are too stubborn to clear it up (or don’t know yourself).

              Does that confuse you too?
