At least that time you comprehended parts of it. I knew you could do it!!
Well, sarcasm aside, you're going to have to explain to me what I'm supposed to take away from this story. I mean, break it down into children's-book-esque terms for me because I'm simply not picking up the message you think I should.
Here's what I make of it:
You speed (breaking the law, thereby endangering self and others, yada yada), but you got caught breaking the law once. You 'manned up' and paid your fine. You didn't say you never sped again and statistically speaking it's not very likely that you never do. So basically, all I can make of your story is that it's okay for you to break certain laws that are meant to protect people (as long as you pay your fine), but not okay for me to break a different law. You're a hypocrite.
If you meant to add more details to your story that make things more clear but forgot to or left them out on accident, that's fine. Now is a good time to do plug those in. Please don't try to convince me that your story/message is complete as-is and that I'm not 'getting' it.

I think it's a fairly safe bet that not one of you alarmists in this thread never have / never do exceed the speed limit - statistics on the subject are relatively easy to find. Look, I don't care. I'm not here to tell you you're a bad person for it or that you're endangering everyone's life (except in hyperbolic example). I would expect any reasonable human being with an ounce of logical reasoning skills to be able to understand the hypocrisy. Me running with my dog off-leash is akin to driving a few mph over the speed limit. Someone taking their crappy dog off-leash is akin to driving way over the speed limit and driving recklessly.
Sorry you had a bad experience with a bad dog. Be cautious of all dogs, but don't take your neuroses out on everybody with a good dog too.
