I assume I shouldn't label this as OC.

5 pieces of rubbish have been circled in a field. It would not surprise me to find 5 pieces of rubbish in a field of similar size in the US.

Yeah, they're as bad as the US

What's your point?

The US doesn't have a tourist problem due to it's trash, nor do people often say generalized statements like "American locals treat their country like a rubbish dump" after finding 5 pieces of trash in a field.

I've just... never really seen trash in a field in the countries I've lived in. Must be an "uncivilised country" thing I'm too civilised to know about

Glad you've got the Freedom©®™ to do that though

It‘s about money. And that‘s it. Rich countries can simply afford do clean up after their civilised citizens. And what do they also do? They export the rubbish to poor countries.

It's about upbringing. Being taught not to expect someone to clean up after you, and to respect where you live

Sorry your parents were selfish cunts
