First World Problems
Onemunki says: We live in a world of genuine tragedy, starvation and terror. So, after hearing stories of cruise line passengers complaining at the air conditioning breaking down, what stories of sheer single-minded self-pity get your goat?

"If you disagree with this statement then please provide either evidence, or a coherent argument to support your position."
You have failed to do this. I will therefore not bother replying further, unless you can come up with some actual argument which makes sense.
(Aha - just saw your edit)
OK - regarding your post here, I think this spat is largely the result of a misunderstanding (correct me if I'm wrong). You are quite correct, you made no comment on whether you believed that the speed limit was right in the first place - therefore if you believed that I believed you did, then it's evident that you took my original reply to your post as a disagreement. In fact, my original reply was not disagreement pre se with your OP - it was just a continuation of the discussion in a wider context.
Anyway - regarding "bitching about speeding tickets", it may surprise you to learn that I largely agree: if you got a speeding ticket, then whatever you believe about the merits or not of that particular limit, the fact remains that you were exceeding the limit and you were not careful in that you got caught by a camera or a police speed trap. The police are merely doing their job after all. Moaning about it won't change it.
