I have absolutely no problem with tourists being rude to me (as another tourist). In fact, the people I am referring to in my post were extremely friendly and nice towards everyone. And even if they weren't I wouldn't be upset because I know how people are and why they can be rude.
But this is besides the point, because it's not about me as a tourist cutting other tourists some slack. It's about me as a tourist observing how many tourists behave towards locals, their privacy and their culture - and treating it like a playground or zoo. And this, in my view, is not to be excused with them wanting to get something in return for the money they spent - this would even further reduce the local people's worth to that of a amusement park inventory!

Again, I am not complaining about tourists being rude against other tourists. I couldn't care less (personally). I am denouncing inappropriate, ignorant and egocentric behavior towards locals and their privacy - which they do not have to "understand" or "forgive" (because tourists do not have a good enough reason, however shitty their lives back home are). wdyt?
