I cant survive on 14 bucks a day and losing 99% income listening about the life history of a toothless crackhead crankcooker.
If they would send em to me, I'd squelch em for 70 cents a piece.

I can understand the Civic Duty and responsibility as an American, but that should be on a willing and AVAILABILITY basis, should it not ! seems like I don't I have a CHOICE in the matter ?
It's like being led to the gallows without ever comitting a crime, I mean... what kind of impartial and fair juror is a guy that is forced to do so with threats of arrest, fines and imprisonment ?? Civic Duty my arse..
I'm screwed !!!
In the construction business they don't directly fire you, but lay you off and call it "Reduction In Force" a few days later they will hire someone else and it's business as usual !
what a freakin nightmare
Jury Duty in itself is fine but losing a job in March is the scary part...... Aside from being ignorant as a stump about the legalities of jury duty, you are one sorry ass excuse for a citizen of this country. Get the [bleep] out. And don't leave your dirty [bleep] diaper on the way out. +1 Hate folks that are too good to do their civic duty. Just plain BS.

Why don't they tap the people that are sitting on welfare ... to go ??? they are getting paid to sit on their ash anyway, those people have the time and could use the $25 a day, I do not have the time to deal with this crap......
... Do you really want Obama voters running our justice system? It's time to man up and contribute to society with more than your tax dollars. Also, I strongly suspect it's against the law for your employer to discriminate against you for serving on jury duty (it has been where I've lived in the past). You can also certainly bring up your concerns about your employment to your jury duty contact and see what they say/do.

Wow easy there bud. The guy could lose his job and you hit him like that. How is this country working out for you at this point? Bet you're really proud to be an American when they start stripping away your gun rights or financially ruining everyone of us or the 5000 other things that make this a not so good place to live anymore. Being a proud citizen may be a hard sell at this point! He is not going to get fired for answering a jury duty summons. If His state does not require employers to allow Jury duty, and I have never been in one that did not, all he's got to do s tell the judge precisely that. Any sonofabitch who'd abdicate his voting rights on such a flimsy basis shouldn't be here and shouldn't be allowed to participate at any level. If you can't comprehend that maybe you should leave with him.

If you are pissed about my comment regarding you homosexuals having choices to to the filthy deeds you do, all I can say is !
"Yes, there IS something wrong with that !" and you were not born a homosexual , you choose to be one.... Where the [bleep] did that come from you crying little baby? Grow up and be a part of this country or get the [bleep] out.

Gunner In that case you stand up and be a man and tell the judge precisely that. If you can't manage the responsibilities of being a citizen Mexico is close to Oklahoma.

Jury Duty in itself is fine but losing a job in March is the scary part...... Dude, i gotta say, you should be aware that a company can not legally fire you for attending jury duty. Otherwise, its not all that bad. Just sack up and do it like the rest of us and all will be well in a month.

If you can't comprehend that maybe you should leave with him. Of course he's not gonna get fired for being called to jury duty...Damn, some folks need to get a clue about how the judicial process works in this country. Judges just LOVE dealing with employers that even suggest going that route. I agree with miles, Thats just part of it, I see no difference in bitching about haveing to do jury duty than I do in bitchin about have'n to pull your weight by havein to work to support yourself....

With rights come responsibilities. We have the right to a trial by jury. It comes with being an American. We also have the responsibility to sit on that jury. That also comes with being an American. Why should we have the rights but be able to shirk the responsibility?

You can be excused from jury duty very easily if you have a sound rerason. I am self employed with no one to work but me.
I have never had a judge tell me that I had to serve in that case, but YOUR attitude in front of the bench will set the judges temperment I can guarantee you that!...

I sure don't mind doing my part, but don't want to go too often.
I was never called until I registered to vote. Now I receive the jury summons about once a year. Luckily, I am not self employed and still get paid.
I am not the person the defense attorney wants.

Its not surprising to hear a libtard democrat like yourself talk about rights when it's convenient for you and makes you sound patriotic in front of others....
I have no choice but attend this , and then be jobless.. exactly what obuma and his psycho democrats want...
the work I do does not wait, concrete does not wait.... I miss work for any reason, get laid off then replaced...
there is no firing, just a layoff with no rehire, excuse is "temporary lack of work, reduction in force" there is no fighting it, just start searching for another job ...
fajjots like you would probably shriek like the sissy you are and sue the contractor.....
I'm just gonna go look for work, not easy to find in March out here !

My educated opinion would lead me to believe you'd not be liked by the defense......
