Could be worse, you could be at work.

Revel in the stupidity of the voir dere process and specifically of some of the people who end up in a jury pool. I've only been thru it once, and i distinctly remember thinking that a lot of the people there weren't playing stupid to get out of jury duty, they were just dumber than stumps. I actually found it entertaining. Maybee i just don't like my job as much as you like yours.

I THINK YOU CAN OPT OUT OF THAT.. every tax year i think its on the tax forms.

lol. Idk how it is up north, but in the U.S. you can't opt out of jury duty. If that were the case then I think possibly 95% of U.S. citizens would not be going to jury duty.

I got stuck with jury duty once. Tried to get out using school as an excuse, but the judge wouldn't let me go and told me it would be a good experience. All it showed me was how retarded the justice system, and the general population, is because at least half the people that get chosen to be on a jury are stupid and/or bring personal prejudices into the deliberation room ("Oh, I don't trust that cop's statements because my cousin got hassled by a cop before," "I don't like that way this guy looks, so he must be guilty," etc. etc.).

But I guess if the average IQ is 100, then that means half the population has a sub-100 IQ level.

you get kicked off because of the whole url thing... notice that it'll change from just yarisworld.com to www.yarisworld.com then ask you to log on again...

Anyway, a professor of mine gets off from jury duty by sounding really intelligent and credentialed. Apparently, they don't want smart people in the jury.

If you have a 9-5 job jury duty is great. You get paid and get to do something different. If you own your own business or don't work, jury duty sucks.
