I think you decided that you didn't want to do jury duty before you decided that trying to get out of jury duty is some moral obligation.



Where I'm from there are no jury duties, so this is my opinion on juries from the outside perspective.

But also, even if I did it the way you say - does that....make the reasoning any less powerful in your mind?

For instance, I decided I don't want to smoke long before I was mature enough to formulate an argument why smoking is bad for an individual and for the society and before I could see how the tabbaco industry is spending heavily on getting people to smoke.

Is the fact that I decided I don't want to smoke at the age of 15 making the argument I can finely flesh out decades later less powerful in your opinion? Or are you just using it as a logical instrument to undermine what I'm saying based not on a logical point but rather an emotional one?
