I used to hate, but then I went to MHSSC, and realized that they don't all suck. Sure, there are plenty of weird kids and douches, but I judge them person by person like I do with most people. Often the people involved who actually suck are the adults. They get to thinking they're hot shit or get way too into it, to the detriment of the kids.
I got respect for the work it takes, but I could never do it myself. I couldn't even handle having to hit mogul courses all the time when I did that.
