In reply to the discussion: Serving on the jury is a complete and utter waste of time [View all]Thor_MN
(11,843 posts)53. You do have a choice to not serve on juries if you really feel that way.
Being on the minority side of a jury implies that a supermajority of 6 other randomly chosen people don't agree with you.
That boils down either the system being deliberately rigged, or one simply not being right. In a democracy, no one gets to declare their own opinion to be absolute truth. One always has the choice to jump into a thread and voice their opinion.
If everyone had exactly the same opinions, there would be no reasons to ever discuss anything.
