Jury duty doesnt pay near as much as your job would. If it meant to miss work, I would think of many reasons not to go. ---

You aren’t going to get “basic training sympathy” from me.

If you don’t like it, you should just move to Canada or something.

This coming for the guy who hasn’t even been to basic training, says his MOS “says he’s going to Iraq.” Here’s some words of advice. Your MOS means damn near nothing, if you are going active duty, about you being deployed. They don’t deploy you on your MOS. They deploy your unit. Unless you are reserve/national guard, MOS is negligible. And obviously you know nothing about being an American, if you can’t fathom the idea of jury duty. I bet you are also one of those faggots who say they don’t agree with the war, but don’t bother voting. The only thing you’ve proved about being an American, in this thread, is that you were competant enough to sign a contract and that you were able to pass the ASVAB (for you non-military people, that’s the test you have to pass in order to get into the military). ![http://smiliesftw.com/x/Firepit.gif](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/f/0/f06ead4c52a209a1d4933891698ad8b4e231da0d.gif) ---

I actually do agree why we are over there! Voting haha it’s a joke anyways, who really stick to what they will say they will do. It all voting for a lesser evil IMO, so I will take that advice and not go. ---

Pretty sure that on active duty, 99% of the people being deployed get deployed by their units, not by their MOS. and seeing how in the past 2 years the military has redone it’s construction and how every brigade is suppose to sustain itself, that every MOS will be found in each brigade. You wouldn’t know that because, at the moment, you are only a wannabe. You don’t know two shits about the military, and apparently being a citizen of the United States. Voting is a joke… typical. You agree to what we are fighting for over there? really? [http://pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31438](http://pittspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31438) you are contradicting yourself. like I said. Unamerican. move to mexico or canada or something. There are plenty of mexicans trying to get into the country that will serve jury duty and vote. Stop talking now. ---

I like how people say all the excuses about being a racist or doing whatever, but honestly I think they see right thru that shit. I had jury duty during the summer last year. I go down, with my laptop, hanging out watching movies and playing flight simulator (with a joystick in the waiting room, haha) Anyways, I get picked to be in the first group to get selected for a guy from the Hill slinging rock and heroin. I go up to the two lawyers and the defendant is there and they ask me all the standard stuff. Two of my best friends are cops (one local one state boy), my father was a convicted felon because of his involvement in a local “crew”, etc… I said I’d believe a cop before anyone else (which is true) and that I don’t watch CSI (they actually asked that). The final question they asked was “do you beleive you can determine if someone is guilty just by looking at them?” and I said in some cases yes. Now this guy that was on trial just looked like a cracked out drug hustler. Thought there was no way they’d put me on the trial. I was the first one picked and ended up being the foreperson. Oh well. I enjoyed the hell out of it, it was neat. Just takes far too long, too many breaks where they have to take you out of the room while the lawyers argue about some stupid shit. ---
