142km/h is a stunt? That would be the least exciting show... ever.

Shame on me for taking someone's words in the first person as meaning what they think. And of course Conservatives don't wonder, it's what they do to every out-group.

I'm trying to keep up with the Cardassians myself, but struggling to get into DS9.

Yikes, my friend. Just because someone makes an observation on intergroup dynamics doesn't make them lean one way or another. In-group bias is also well documented with you currently, and very ironically, showing out-group negativity.
Fwiw, I doubt conservatives are wondering why marginalised groups end up attacking each other rather than uniting for a common goal.

Fine, if we’re doing this, then my trump card is SCTV.

I had a friend from Europe who claimed he thought the freeway name (I think it was 101?) was the speed limit.
The cop actually let him off.
He's now a C-level exec at a fortune 250 company.

Considering this hypothesis encompasses the Conservative hierarchical worldview, it doesn't seem like much a of stretch of the imagination to me. I never took Sociology so hopefully I can be forgiven for not being able to identify this theory on it's face.

I mean they probably are, but it's also an existing hypothesis in social psychology. Makes their opinion a little more valid than them just being a 'conservative'.

I’m pretty sure it’s established somewhere (don’t know where) in Canadian law, ignorance of a law cannot be used as a defence.

Well, all the Canadians in Florida for the winter drive 20 below the speed limit, so if it were me, he'd definitely get the benefit of the doubt.
Edit: Am from Florida

I just have no patience for people who make their ignorance everyone else’s problem. Take responsibility

Yes. Another border dweller here. The Canadian/provincial government makes it embarrassingly obvious that you might want to look at the alternate numbers on your speedometer. They’ve been there since the 70s.

Ah yes! The fun signs that basically yell at you to slow down. LOL
We have a few of those here in the school zones (which I do appreciate!) but damn, 1 mph over the limit and its trying to slap you. LOL
