If you have such a problem with Belize and the people on this board then why are you spending so much time here? You must have better things to do. As you said previously, you won't go back to Belize - too many other places to see. So feel free to go start some trouble on some other destination's message board. We all happen to like Belize, we all happen to like this message board (some times more than others!) We all try to give reasonably honest views of the country (of course with a pro-Belize bent). Yes there is trash on some beaches, especially between resorts and in town, and I myself have spent a lot of time picking it up while walking. But most of the beaches are very beautiful and the hotels usually make every effort to keep them clean and raked. The sea grass is not necessarily a bad thing - that's where the fish breed and it prevents beach erosion. And for the guys raking it everyday, all day... hey - job security!
