WHY?

Why all the hatred thats been going on lately? I've been reading these forums for a while lately and i've come to notice the scene taking a very negative turn. Why? Mini truckers hating on fellow mini truckers? Why?
I've noticed it lately with trucks that are built "shitty" and "unsafe" to other people's standards. So? Is it yours? NO. So, instead of hating, why not help the person? Why not offer to help? Isn't that why we're all here? To make friends and enjoy mini truckin? Why talk shit? Thats not the way we're supposed to be. Leave that to the street racers.
I've noticed it lately with the younger crowd. These kids come in, bag a truck real quick with no intention of taking it to the next level. They just see the party side of it. There is a lot more to it than that. Yes, we all enjoy a cold, tasty beverage while hanging out talking trucks, but thats the whole reason we're here: The TRUCKS!! Yes, we older guys need to take part of the blame for not teaching the young guys what the culture is all about.
The old saying goes "One bad apple ruins the bunch." Well, the way I see it heading is a bunch of bad apples ruining the orchard. So what if you don't like the way a truck is built. Is it yours? No. Did you build it? No. Did it hurt you? No. Did it affect your income? NO! So let it go. Appreciate the work and effort that went in to it. Congratulate the person who built it for accomplishing something that they poured their heart and soul into. Its real easy to be a hard ass behind a keyboard.
The whole "hard ass" attitude needs to stop. If you come to a show looking to get drunk and "kick someone's ass" then stay home. We don't want you here. If you are going to go just to talk shit, then stay home. We don't want you here. If you are going to have a negative attitude in any way, stay home. Its not worth ruining it for everyone.
So, remember what got you into this lifestyle. Having fun is what its all about. So, stop all the hating. Its not worth it. Just my

When all the bad people weed themselves out and leave I will still be here to show off my hard work and the hard work of my buddies. If it had not been for MoniTrucking I would have never met some great friends that I know have. Who else will come over at the drop of a hat to help you with a mod you thought would be sweet?
Just remember that the youth will also watch the elders so make sure you set a good example for them.
I am part of the madness until the end.

I can see the points made...but a hacked piece of shit going down the road with shoddy welds does affect me.It affects alot of people on the road that have nothing to do with our lifestyle. People need to use a little common sense when it comes to building a custom vehicle. But no matter which way you look at it there will always be someone that ruins it for everyone else(bad attitudes)
