How can you get to that point and not immediately understand that it's obviously satire?
- dragonwriter 10y ago> How can you get to that point and not immediately understand that it's obviously satire? By having encountered people who express exactly that sentiment and are deadly serious about it.
- GauntletWizard 10y agoAnd you should treat those people as satire, too. The insistence on taking everyone seriously all the time only creates friction. It is not your job to take someone seriously, it is their job to make you take them seriously.
- Renner1 10y ago> jury duty, a state-mandated intrusion into my most private information and thoughts Which aspect of that statement do you find satirical? Jury-duty forces someone to have an opinion on record about some contentious topic. By most accounts that is an intrusion into one's private information and thoughts.
- eevilspock 10y agoYou won't and can't be forced. You can state your objections, and your refusal to make a public judgement, in which case you will not be selected to be on the jury. Even if some unreasonable judge still put you on the jury, you can refuse to vote guilty or not guilty, in which case there would be a hung jury. No court wants someone with such an attitude on a jury, so it won't ever get to this.
