Agreed. So many over-the-top characters and quotable dialogue, just a super fun movie.One of the best campy cult-classic movies, EVER!

Ditton this!Not just the shooters, unfortunately. I've come across far too many piles of random household trash, food and booze trash, clothes and camping trash just around the Willamette National Forest near Cascadia...
Grandparents too. And on and onA good percentage of our populous are lazy degenerates that have no respect for bubbleguming anything; It's not that they're mentally deficient or inherently evil, it's just their parents were pieces of bubblegum.
There, I said it.
Nah, this ain't no rant, and there is no need for an apology. What you say is what needs to be done. I been taking out others filth in addition to my own trash since I started playing in the 'sticks' in the '70's. Always leave it better than you found it. That is the goal. Wife is the same way. We have seen some real garbage in our hunting trips, or just exploring trips, over the years. It's remarkable that some people just don't appreciate, don't care...Sorry this is more of a rant than a discussion. I apologize.

It isn't limited to shooters. It's throughout society. I think at lot of it is how you're raised. My children were all taught to dispose of trash properly. However, one of the sons-in-law (whose parents were from a well-known southern state) is a chronic litterbug. A really crummy habit that my grandson seems to have adopted by example. When he's with me, I'm on him solid about not leaving trash on the ground. Yet when I get over to their place, I find candy wrappers, etc., laying around the back yard.There are far worse litterbugs on the planet. Locally, I'd say it might be a cultural issue. People from other countries " don't know any better " and just dump everything from tires, to broken appliances, to household food waste on logging roads. Mostly just right inside the gate. Oddly enough, some of the families who have lived here for multiple generations do exactly the same disgusting sh!+.
Singapore comes to mindBut others are fairly strict and you can incur a fine if caught throwing a small piece of trash on the ground.
Some of the Commie countries were pretty strict. And now ex-Commie countries. In Lithuania, there is an instant fine of $145 for getting caught throwing a cigarette butt on the ground.Singapore comes to mind

Sub-Saharan Africa is bad for litter. They have other things to worry about, like survival. Some of the non-oil rich middle eastern countries (example, Pakistan) are pretty bad. In many, like Afghanistan, outside the city "surface defecation" is common, all year round, including frozen ground in winter.
Harry Rutstein replicated Marco Polo's journey from Acre to Beijing. I found his observations about cultural practices of male outdoor urination interesting. In the "west," standing is common. Where Europe ends and the middle east begins, it's common for men to kneel on one knee. Where the middle east ends and China begins, squatting is common.
I always pick up the brass just for this reason, one less reason for homeless to make the trip to the woods to pick up brass and dump their crap.We don't have the same problem with brass littering here in Bend, OR. The most used shooting pit off of China Hat Rd. is surrounded with homeless camps. The homeless are out in the pit picking up brass to resell before we are even done shooting. Once I was even asked if I would mind if they picked up my brass... usually they never ask.
It is the targets, cans, glass bottles, furniture and abandoned cars that piss me off. I always leave the pit cleaner than I found it... but there is so much junk nobody would ever know that I do.
The big cities in Japan are relatively trash free and it's amazing to see this given the population density. Go to New York City and there are stains on the sidewalk, gum, and trash everywhere. It's a cultural thing.Singapore comes to mind
Here they don't even pickup the bodies. Homelessness = profit for the ones getting gov $. Fe this guy's body apparently decomposed for 2 months in a homeless shelter. Drugs = crime and homelessness which puts millions into non profits that take the gov $. And free flow of drugs like fentanyl and the new meth just make more of them. It's a vicious circle. All drugs are legal and open air drug markets and dealing are common. It's just idiotic.The big cities in Japan are relatively trash free and it's amazing to see this given the population density.

As a side note Japan doesn't have a lot of homeless as it's considered a shameful thing, at least according to my wife. I saw some but rarely, and they're not fully interactive and in-your-face aggressive like here on the west coast. This was in the most populated urban cities also like Osaka and Tokyo.
