why jury duty???

[Littlesecret]

well i would only care about my family i could care less about the stranger... sorry

Such a selfish and lazy attitude. How do you plan to stop being lonely when you can't even be bothered to care about other people?

who ever said i was lonely ????????????? im not lonely you assumed im lonely because im on here? i do not have social problems at all..... im just on here to give advice and sometimes just make random topics....

not everyone on this forum is lonely or suffer through depression .....

Are you a real person???

So if I came and robbed your house you wouldn't call the police because it's snitching? And you'd be happy for me to be released so I could do it again?

At which point the police no longer bother to even show up to your call, because, why should they care about your stuff?

PS Can I have your address?

He's twelve. Watches too much TV. Needs to grow up.

I resent societal obligations myself, as I expect most people do but are not willing to admit.

I am sure that there are a whole lot of people who would prefer to not be bothered with any kind of civic duty. That doesn't surprise anyone. What i do find surprising is that someone would think that "i heard its really boring" and having a passive-aggressive plan to sabotage any trial that they may be placed on, is a valid excuse. Most of us in the process of growing up learn that not everything is about us and not everything exists for the purpose of entertaining us. That may not make us any more eager to fulfill our duties but we don't expect an automatic out because we feel that it might not keep us properly entertained.

Personally i found jury duty to be fascinating. The procedures, the way various components of the court related to each other and how the system works.

He's twelve. ....

If that is actually the case for the OP then that would explain it.

The thing is though, look at the most successful people in our society. CEOs, Wall Street types, rock stars, actors, athletes, and so forth. Do they not live lives that say, everything is indeed about us? And does life not confirm it? Being able to do whatever you please, whenever you please, and being able to tell others the magic word of "no" is heaven on earth. And it is real.

Again, like I said there's lots of ways to get out if you want to and if you have to go you have to go and it's not worth it to get mad at things like this that are more trouble to avoid than it is worth. But the ideal, nevertheless, is to be strong enough to say no.

I don't agree with the last bit, people especially celebrities can not do what they want when they please most of the time because their lives comes under so much scrutiny, and for a society to work you need to do things you don't always like.
Also when people are more successful they are more accountable for their actions, I think this OP is a very selfish and pretty delusional boy and if everyone acted like him society would crumble.

The fact that people can be corrupted does not negate the idea that most of us in growing up learn that the world was not designed to revolve around us, in that it's top priority is not to automatically grant all our wants and desires at the expense of everything and everyone else.

Sure anyone who wants to can think that the world is suppose to revolve around them. Excessive fame, money and all that may come with it can be difficult for some people to handle though that is hardly something that the typical person ever has to deal with. While there is indeed many highly publicized cases of self will run riot in the professions that you mention, it might not be fair to stereotype them all based on the ones that keep the tabloid industry in business. For every Justin Bieber there is a Cliff Richards or Herb Alpert. We probably also shouldn't assume that people corrupted by power or fame were always that way and never knew any better.

As far as saying, i shouldn't have to bother with something because it bores me, most of them would not have what they achieved if practice was deemed too boring and they didn't have to bother with it. If they didn't want to put in the long hours at work because they felt they should be entertained instead. That is fine as long as they don't expect the benefits without the work. In that case it wouldn't be a duty that they would be pleading out of based on boredom, it would be a desire that they just didn't feel was worth the work, time or practice.

I didn't think it was mandatory. Just commit a crime and you wont be asked.

Ah, but then you'd still be eligible. You've got to have been imprisoned at some point during the previous 10 years in order to be ineligible.
