You just have to go for a day or 2 you canât get out of that. If you get selected for a trail then it can last longer. When the judge asks you if you can be objective just tell him no youâre a racist. I am serious they wonât select you. Its not a crime to be racist either.
Lucky for you self-centered pricks that there is no draft. Now that might really put a crimp in your pathetic lives.
Agreed, I bet your f&cks tell your kids to go to college so they don't get stuck in Iraq too. (borrowed from Sen. John Kerry, a Dem, go figure!) You're probably the same f&cks who bitch about the government but don't vote.
I just got called up for jury duty. I am a professional trader and I was curious how other professional traders have handled this particular obstacle to earning a living. Any thoughts/advice for getting excused? Thanks. The county where I live has a painless way to deal with jury duty. I say painless because most of the time your service isn't needed anyway and they really don't want or need you there taking up space so they've implemented a reasonable system to help streamline the process. When I get a notice to serve, I'm assigned a juror number. Starting on the Sunday night of the week I'm scheduled to serve, I call a toll free number provided me to see if I have to report or not. If the recorded response is no you go about your normal routine but you have to call again the next night. If you make it thru Wednesday without being called, you're not getting called. Over the last 15 years I have not had to report for jury duty. If you do get called let them know where you stand on everything from race, religion, doctors, illegal immigrants, cops, lawyers, etc., etc. and they'll probably send you packing. Like previous posters have said, anyone with a mind of their own, a strong opinion or strong will doesn't fit with them selecting the "right" jury. Ask OJ, he has first hand experience with this. Good Trading!
A prick, maybe, but certainly not a f&ck. I'm planning on not being the US when the sh1t inevitably hits the fan with our crappy economy.
Go serve. Some people just don't appreciate this great country where the people actually has some say in the judicial process. If you have a financial hardship, go fill out an exemption, morons. Because all I'm hearing are little girls crying and whining about jury duty. Jury duty is not asking you to serve your country in the military or risking your life to defend the country. The more you say about how difficult it is to do jury duty, the more of a selfish ungrateful bastard you are. If you want to skip jury duty, do your business quietly. Don't come on this board and try to advocate to others that it is the honorable thing to do. Honorable, it is not.
You should go and check it out. I found it to be quite interesting, but then I tend to take civic responsibility more seriously than others. Actually, the easiest way to get excused, if you must, is to tell them it's against your religious beliefs to judge another human being. Sounds corny, but I've seen it work time and again.
I've served on a couple of jurys, and I found the experience interesting and actually enjoyable. However, they were both less than a week...much more of that kind of "stuff" probably would not be good for my psyche. Listening to lawyers try to manipulate words and people is only fun for so long, just like some of the ongoing arguments we see here, LOL. Don
In the future, if you dont vote, i am pretty sure, that you wont get called to serve. I quit voting about 12 years ago, and have not been asked since. Just my opinion, as far as voting goes, after looking the political situation, I couldnt see how it affects me much, regardless of who is calling the shots. Someone else, made a good point also, just chunk it in the trash, and I doubt much will happen, the first time. joey
I really don't know where I stand :eek: On one side I agree with hydro, they don't give a shit about you then you don't give a shit about them but... just step back a bit and see how hilarious it is to assemble the powers of ET to brainstorm how to get out of jury duty! Btw, my knife is really dull and I cant cut my bread. Help.
