30 People Share “Really Dumb” Hobbies That Only Rich People Seem To Like

Boring is subjective. I’d watch golf instead of hockey, baseball or american handegg everyday. As for the first part of the sentence, golfs were traditionally built in swamp areas to find water, ponds, sand, bunkers and easy grass. More trees were planted (obstacles) than removed. Then, if people are stupid enough to create golfs in arid desertic lands in California, Texas, Qatar or Saudi Arabia, they are the issue, not golf. And I’m not even playing, just know better.

The whole point of golf is to play as little golf as possible

I can't think of anything more miserable than having to spend the day on a golf course and I have spent many days on golf courses. I absolutely loathe the sport.

Like watching paint dry on a wall.

Minigolf > Golf

I wonder what kind of childhood trauma would lead you to kill something for pleasure. If driving a big truck means you have a small w***y, what does killing innocent animals mean? Paid hunting trips where the game is basically trapped so some rich puke could get off are really sickening.

As a hunter, I has a hard time to understand that as well. You hunt for food, and if there are a problem with individual animals. It's not exactly a sport.

Idiot Americans go to Africa to hunt lions.

Because he's a jerk with small pickle.

Anybody that can do that....stay the hell away from me. Despicable. Throw them into a lions den with a spoon...funnily enough...I'd probably pay to see that. Scumbags

Or bull fighting or bull running. I always laugh when someone gets gored by a bull, such a beautiful sight.

It depends on the type of race. Flat racing over turf has very low fatality rate.

The most unethical sport around, basically. The sport of frauds and scoundrels, not kings

I absolutely agree with this. I can not bear to watch it,whipping them to go fast...hate it

It's a crooked business and the animals are the sacrifice

This should be #1, IMO. There is no real need to hunt foxes as a sport anymore. Plus human encroachment in general means that our species is messing with every other species ability to live. If an individual fox is causing a farmer issues, we can live trap. But killing animals for "sport" isn't something we need to doing anymore. Just want to add that I think we, as humans, have been treating animals badly throughout our history. If we truly are advancing, as we like to think, we need to make coexist with the animals.

Aww....foxes are cute and should not be hunted!

Same again...let the hunters loose and I'll gladly hunt them down

I love foxes and all the animals! I hate hunters.

I believe that killing animals for fun I cruel. Uncivilized, maybe? I am sorry. I do eat meat though. Poultry and fish. If I visited a facility where chickens are raised to be food would I still eat ground chicken burgers?

The hypocrisy of those people

If only Alanis Morissette had included this in "ironic" then she might actually have had some irony in the song.

So many of these so called climate change activists do this and fail to see the hypocrisy

It is not a hobby of wealthy individuals, but of country leaders, therefore paid for by the taxes of citizens who would indeed like measures against climate change. Kafkaian.

Its because it not about the Climate, its about control of the masses by the "Elites" that have appointed themselves as our superiors.

Let's just call it what it really is. Poverty Tourism.

Drives me nuts. We have plenty of places in the US that could use the same level of support.

They are on a mission, to subvert and enslave a culture through religion.

Good friends have gone with a church group to Africa. They paid for a clinic, have connected with and mentored a young man, paid for his education. They're very involved and dedicated. Even do dentistry while they're there.

It really depends on the group. My best friend's church went to Africa and donated food to people in need as well as volunteering in an orphanage and digging trenches for water pipes. It's not just a Christian thing either. My brother participated in World Challenge where they went to Borneo and dug trenches for irrigation for crops and other volunteer projects. Really the problem is when Christian (or any other religion) groups go and actually evangelise and try to convert people. I feel the OP should have been more specific. Plus it's not really a hobby.

Trophy hunters are the biggest freaking cowards. You have to have no empathy to be able to shoot such majestic and noble creature and feel no guilt.

Imo there is a special place in hell for trophy hunters

Hunting for sport is for cowards. The story about the hunter that had the elephant fall on top of him and kiling the hunter warms my heart.

Elephants are so much smarter than most people realize. I don't know how anyone kills them. To me, it feels almost like killing a human.
