    The State is looking for a juror who is thoughtful, without bias and is cooperative.

    With your disposition I don't think you are worth the $17 per day jurors get paid.

    Liberals do not feel all work is honorable. They feel the wealthy only got rich by exploitation or corruption.
    The left feels that Capital gains is not properly earned income.

    I find that wealthy people are the best people. These are people who help charities. They are people who got rich by helping make life more productive for so many others.

    Let me ask you a question Range Rover. Say you are walking down the street one day minding your own business. All of a sudden you see a man raping a woman over in a nearby park. Of course being the good upstanding citizen you are you call the police right away and run over to scare the guy off but not before getting a good look at him. You basically saw the whole event transpire. So the police come and take your statement and get your contact info.

    Months later we forward to the trial. You get a notice from the prosecuting attorney to be a witness in this trial. You were the only person who saw the guy and what happened and they need you to testify in court to put this guy away. You will not get paid for this. And you might be out of work for awhile as you will be thoroughly cross examined by the defense as well as the prosecution.

    Do you go to court? Do you testify to put this rapist away?

  4. He thinks the rapist was the real victim. The rapist couldn't help but lash out at a system of white supremacy and social injustice. It was forced upon him. The real culprits are the evil capitalists and racist rulers, who force these people into violent behavior.

    It's all about the money, huh? So, a man's worth is directly related to his net worth, right? Sounds a bit "Merkie".

    Juror: A member of a jury.

    Witness: A person who sees an event take place.

    (Just so we understand the thread.)

    This was in the context of your statement that the best people found on Earth are the poor people...I dont agree....I find the better people are the productive and successful people.

    What's context got to do with it? I said the poor are the best; you say the wealthy are the best.

    Me & you...we got a different value system.

    It all comes down to defining "best" Look at a neighborhood of poor people and a neighborhood of successful people........

    One on one, you will fine good and bad in both neighborhoods, but where would you live? Where would you let your children play outside by themselves?...public schools?
