Why are people so uncaring and lazy?

Question

Every day on here there are numerous questions asking how to get out of Jury duty. I am constantly amazed by how uncaring and lazy people are.

We have more freedoms than any other country, and one of the very few things expected of us is jury duty, but when called to participate people act like the government is trying to take their first born from them and will do anything they can to get out of it.

I can understand that it is an inconvenience, however, you're supposed to be adults, take the bad with the good, do your duty and stop whining.

Answer 1

There is something a person could  suggest the trouble is while it was a good suggestion it did receive a violation notice from Yahoo. Here is the suggestion. Alternate currencies for everyone this cold eliminate much of the crime and reduce Jury Duty plus bring back that caring sensibility.

Laser Printers and  computer imaging. Just to be clear Laser printer means scanning the designs into bills made by citizens for citizens.Back up to Gov currency.

Answer 2

Because people today want something for nothing, all the time.  They feel they are entitled to freedoms, but don't want to put anything into it.  It's the cancer of our society.

Answer 3

It's sad, they lose the opportunity to see their justice system at work.

I served on a capital murder trial a couple years ago, and it was one of the best experiences of my life.  I can't wait to come up available again in a few years, I'd welcome the opportunity to do it again.
