Would you want your jurors to whine/cry/weazle out of serving & then get stuck with the mouth breathers that can't think for themselves?
I know I never claimed to be a 'productive member of todays society'.

I don't vote because voting is a right - which means I don't HAVE to vote. I DON'T feel honored to lose my $200 I would make at work to go listen to some 'weasle' tryin to get out of somethin he did that was illegal to begin with. If they want me to serve they need to pay me what I would make at work then take it out of the weasle's ***. Don't tell me I HAVE to go, HAVE to take a huge paycut for the day and make me feel like **** cause I don't go. I have a family to feed and I do it the honest way, I work. If some sap wants to go out and do somethin illegal then he should pay for it. There is alot of homeless/unemployed folks out there that would take the $12 or $13 a day that they would get for it.

You can request a jury trial for a speeding ticket - how big a waste of EVERYBODY'S time and money is that? If I get a speeding ticket (which I have- many) I pay for it and go on about my business.

I understand there is a place for a jury trial. I'm just sayin there are people out there that NEED the $ they make at work and there are people out there that don't work for whatever reason that could use the money for jury duty.

If I'm being forced to do something its not much of an honor, unless of course this is a communist society then I would be forced to feel honored.

Not tryin to stir ****, just voicing my opinion, as a productive member of todays society.

I must admit it's great seeing what kind of people we have here and how serious they take the responsibilities of being a member of society.

It's all about me is truer than ever and just taking a look at the selfish self centered posts about whining and crying how hard things would be if they don't get out of jury duty is no big surprise, let alone trying to rationalize and justify there self centered "poor me" actions. Ohhh I'm going to be out a days wages, or even a couple days wages and then I won't be able to feed my family....... So you never get sick, never get injured and never take a day off to do something other then work. Well that's way to bad you got yourself into that predicament and are living from check to check about ready to slide into poverty and homelessness. Guess you better be selling your diesel trucks and get geo metros due to the price of fuel, but now I'm sure you just "need" your truck to survive along with all the performance modification's that have been done since they are not cheap.

Yet when things don't go there way they are the 1st to whine and cry about things, how they were wronged and how badly they are being treated by the system & "the man" Then they will bitch abouot the shitty jury they had, how they were a bunch of homeless trash and not a jury of there peers, hard working salt of the earth people who know and understand what it's like.

Oh and just for the record, it's not a right but a privilege and everybody who did not vote at all cast a vote for obama & as such we are going to get what we deserve for not taking our responsibilities seriously. People who did not vote can NOT bitch and groan/moan/whine/cry about the President elect or any actions he takes once he becomes the president the 20th.

And again for the record we live within our means & yeppers missing a few days of work will hurt, will make a impact but nothing major like loosing our house since we budget everything and don't live paycheck to paycheck with more toys than we can afford.

It's no wonder America is the way she is now with Americans as self centered as they are...

funny cuz the government can give hand outs to people that immigrate, don't work, make babies they can't afford.

but they won't pay people sacrificing a few days of work for jury duty?
us DIESEL driving, modified wine babies, who apparently work hard to pay our taxes.
i'm pretty sure we have the right to complain if we don't want to do jury duty!


there is enough unemployed people out there now that have time to serve on a jury with out bothering the working society

So you want unemployed people to be a jury for you, instead of people who are like you, think like you and work for a living, talk about sticking your head in the sand.

Just another shining example of how/why obama was elected and how America is going down the *******. Americans are to self centered to give a **** about anything except what they want when they want it to give them pleasure.

i was called for duty 3 times already and only lost one day of pay for it. i am sorta in the same money situation. just ride it out maybe nothing will even happen with it. thats what i did and it seemed to work. then if you do go in tell them that you have some kind of issue with the case and they will prolly just pass by you. you will still lose day of work but its better then a week.

well if you wanna take a poll, people like me aren't the ones.. killing, stabbing,shooting,stealing,raping..

this is America... poor,rich both get called to duty.
i don't think an honest hard working american should sacrifice time out of his like to feed family. the man the people work for what they have and should not be taken away from them!

there are plenty of people collecting unemployment,welfare,disability,college,trust fund babies, kids 18+ still in high school, just graduated and don't have a family to support.

YES, i want unemployed people on a jury for me! I just got laid off. I'm unemployed until April. does that mean I'm not capable of making a rational decision?

what are you implying buy saying "unemployed people" what do you mean?
are you stereotyping that people with no job are not able to make a rational decision on their own or not up to par with the rest of society?


if i had the option i would claim independence from the united states!
i hate voting, i'm sick of hearing the politics!
news flash 1 vote does not make a difference!
i voted and Obama is still gonna be prez. oh Great.....whooie.....hurray
i'm glad i wasted my time at the polls...

oh yeah, i know why i voted. to shut those aholes up that say "you don't vote so you can't say nothin"
i voted now you have to listin.

i vote, i pay my taxes,i pay my parking tickest, i pay my speeding tickets, i obay the law.
if i don't want to go to jury duty tuff ****

Trying to rationalize and justify your poor excuses to get out of jury duty just makes you look like a whiner and self centered selfish person.

Keep up the good work destroying America home of the sheeple.

I'm a American by birth & one who does not make **** poor excuses trying to get out of ones civic duty and personal responsibility.

Not to mention one that spent 20 years in the service to our country and 7 years to my adopted community.
