I like the part where you hope that anyone who owns a pool has their ancestors stabbed. Excellent take there.

honestly, i feel like this would be a bad idea too, but it's not my place to judge how you interact with heavenly bodies
So OP doesn't believe water should be bought and sold.
It costs a lot of money to fill a pool in California.

Water is an abundant resource that is not in short supply. Drinkable water is a different story, but the water used in a swimming pool isn't clean or drinkable, so it's not really wasting a resource. The reason potable water is in short supply is because of societal, governmental, and technological problems regarding its purification and distribution, not because water is a difficult thing to find.
It depends on the filtration system. If you have a high end reverse osmosis filter, you need to use very little chemicals. So little that, yes, it is drinkable
Pools are not the problem, OP.

We are just fucked anyway.
How much water it takes to create 30 common items
Stacker compiled the water footprint of 30 common items to examine how much water goes into producing the things people use every day.

I kinda get the OP.
in the near future, water problems could arise. access to freshwater could change. there are already people paying more for water than ever before and people are getting priced out of being able to afford water, in fucking America.
So yeah, I kind of get it. Places in Asia and Africa where access to water is a super-premium, and we waste water, well, like water over here.
We've been lucky so far, but climate change could make us have to pay attention too. Water Wars are very real possibility in the next century.

Pools are the DEVIL"S LAW.
And any one of you that are obeying the devil's law, are going to be arrested. All of you are practicing the devil's law.
What happened to Bill Gates? Why is he not in jail? Why is Hillary Clinton not in jail? Why are all of these pool-philes that are demanding you all to listen to their rules, why are they not in jail? Oh, is it because you're part of them?
Are you partial to the deep end?
The deep end is going down, and if any you are in the deep end, you are going down with it.

I once saw what I presumed to be tourists swimming in the irrigation canals in Arizona.
Lordy.
why do we always let the religious nuts take the mic in these discussions again?
Pretty sure that post is in reference to some crazy lady in Florida. There was a video posted yesterday where similar things were said.
Residential pools do feel a bit like a gargantuan waste.
In a really hot area, you'd have to keep filling them up, and those same area's tend to be the ones that struggle with drought.
But I don't know how much water refilling them actually uses.

Ok Scrooge McDuck.
Maybe not stupid money rich, but if you've got a pool in your backyard you're upper middle class at a minimum. They do cost a decent amount to install and maintain.
The Yacht and Beach Club pool at Disney World uses a system like that. It has no chemicals so when you go swimming there you will occasionally get a family of ducks swimming by.
Honestly, I just assumed OP saw Tank Girl for the very first time.
Idk why you think pools are for the rich. Tons of poor people across the South have the cheap ones. Hell, growing up, we even got one of the ones with the inflatable ring that rises as you add the water.
I know you said "forget about California" but this feels like a California thing

Its always important to question how we, as people, pool and utilize the resources provided by our environment.
With that said though, it is clear that this thread is already swimming in the assumption that this thread was not made in good faith and will not produce a healthy discussion.
