but once in a while he wades into areas he has no objective experience or expertise in, and doesn't acknowledge when that happens.
buda and buda's ego acknowledge that Ijebos did jury service!

buda and buda's ego does not believe that ijebos would lie about such a thing!

And for your information, buda is not 'he' but 'they', due to the immense size of buda's ego.

I think he was mistaking you for basilico.
It does sound like it. So I guess I am going to have to wait until he recognises his error.

In the meantime, I'll just amuse myself by shoving buda's ego in his face until he sees that it is not basilico's ego.

Again, It's a silly notion for anyone who lives in the US to believe someone would lie about that.
I agree that it is silly for anyone who lives anywhere to believe you would lie about doing jury service.

In fact, I think it is stupid and ignorant for anyone to just think anyone is lying about anything unless one has evidence they are lying.

buda has no evidence that you did not do jury service. And you have provided evidence that you definitely did do jury service. So therefore, buda and buda's ego believe you Ijebos did the jury service you told us you did.

buda also believes you live in America and went to Harvard.

So buda can learn or experience jury process through other means. He does not have to be in the US. Also, we should not conflate experience with knowledge. Many people for millenias experience gravity but they have know clue what it is.

I am only telling you experience can come without being in the US. Budaatum might have gone to a class where then enacted the American court and jury system.
Hold on though! angry

Where did buda say Ijebos never did the jury service Ijebos said he did?

Is buda lying too when buda said buda did jury service?

The white men speaking your dialect were exposed to your dialect, Hence they experienced your dialect. Or did you think they woke up one day and just started speaking ur dialect. God, you're idjit.

See Budaatum, this is the anti-intellectual Bullshit you are promoting with your emotional based screeds to make yourself feel better for not living in the US, yet assuming you know everything about it.
Well done.
So, buda's ego is now responsible for whatever Bemeruca says or does? That buda must have one damn powerful ego!

By the way, do you know what emotional actually means? You accusing others of what you seem to be full of kind of shows you don't, and it might be because you've never lived in the United States of Emotionland.

Imagine the ego on you to think you know everything about a place you've never been. I guess it's that same ego that allows you to refer to yourself in the 3rd person.
You must have serious issues with buda's ego. Perhaps you should concern yourself with your own ego instead of the ego of buda. After all, you have not lived in buda's ego, so how the heck can you claim to know anything about buda's ego, going by your own logic?

I don't know everything about USA. My response to Bemeruca above, which I posted before reading yours, where I asked you to educate us about racism in the American education system, attests to that fact you'd find if you bothered.

I repeat, I do not think you most likely did jury service. You said you did jury service, and I believe you did jury service and I have no reason to assume you are lying about doing jury service.

Its the same way you said you went to Harvard and I believe you did go to Harvard because I don't think you'd come here and lie to us about going to Harvard.

And I was telling you there is not way you have black, whites and Latinos in a room teaching them 2+2=4 will be racist to the blacks and Latinos.
Everyone has to get the right answer in maths, or you show your work because we are not perfect. Answer is wrong? You still get marks for showing your work.

The book says all that are akin to white supremacy. You can reach your own conclusion. The book even say capitalism is white supremacy.
You do not understand the argument. And you are not even willing to consider what is being said. And the reason you do that is because you can't get your head around things that are far too complex for you.

bemeruca, you know I hardly use your name. But I am here because you have children, and though you think I want to rape them, I want the very best for them just as I want for my own children.

Its not about 2+2 and what it equals, but about the entire education system. But if you give black kids a pass for a wrong answer to 2+2, you most definitely are being racist, as you are setting those black kids up to fail in life.

If I give your children a pass for a wrong answer, I am failing them in life! And the only reason I would do something so stupid is to hide the fact that I am unwilling to do my job, which is to educate your children so that they may succeed in life! And if I do that to your black children but not to the white children whom I then go on to teach how to arrive at the correct answer to 2+2, then I am definitely a racist fuq, and you should not let me be your children's teacher!

Ijebos, racism in the American education system would have been a better example of one not understand something because they don't live in America. We had racism in UK schools too, and still do, with a large proportion of black kids being excluded (expelled) because their white teachers do not understand their students, or being told to aim lower and be bus drivers instead of doctors and lawyers and scientists. But its not as bad as in America where entire schools with black kids are not funded equally as schools with predominantly white kids.

I so wish you'd enlighten on this instead of claiming one thinks you are lying about doing jury service that one has done oneself.

He is definitely doing what you do by not understanding what he read and claiming it meant something else. Its the same way you claim people say "maths is racist", when what is being said is, "the way maths is being taught may be racist".

Dude, we do jury service here in UK! And as a natural born citizen, buda has done it 3 times. So I don't understand why you'd think buda would think you'd be lying about doing jury service when buda has no reason to think you are lying!

As for all the nonsense you've written below, buda is just going to ignore it in hope you realise you have wrongly understood what you read or until you carry out your idle threat.

And for your information, I am a Briton who lives in Britain. Not that that has any bearing on this conversation though, mind.

ijebosb:
Basilico didn't understand how people are called for Jury duty. That is clear. 1.) Why would he? He doesn't live here so it doesn't affect him. And he doesn't seem like a voracious reader of non propaganda. 2.) The time frame is different from state to state. The frequency of being called almost ensures people will serve.
The point of getting called to Jury Duty is so that people can serve on those juries. And because a lot of people actively try to get out of jury service, if you don't try to get out of it by lying to say you can't serve or lying to say that you are biased etc. etc, there's a good chance you'll serve on a jury. But, if you've ever been called, you may not understand that. So, if you don't live in the US, that is a cultural reference you would have no way of knowing. And why would I lie about serving? In the US, it's generally believed that only idiots can't get out of serving jury duty. And for that record what I have lied about in this thread?r

As to you.
You are a Nigerian who lives in the UK. You have two whole cultures I'm sure you are curious about and want to know the intricacies of. To spend so much of your free time on the US is nuts I think.
Further, I've noticed a pattern with you, you get emotional and then seek attention/affirmation from the same people who abuse you. It's not an endearing quality. I didn't want to say it, but Bemeruca is right about you, even a broken clock is right 2x a day. You are two-faced. And to top it off, I'm not even sure what your true values are. You seem to flip flip readily because you don't want to lose arguments. Pick a lane. And fyi, this third person shit of calling yourself Buda makes you look nuts.

I've warned you about getting at me and tried to be patient with you. As you can see, I've exhausted that patience.

At a point your judgement is in question for trying to call me a liar about something so silly
Are you sure you can read and understand at all?

Where did I try to call you a liar?

Was I lying myself when I said I too have done jury service 3 times, or is comprehension a problem for you?

You do know that it Is citizens who do jury service in UK right, or must you live in UK to know that?

Ijebos, please know that I am now most definitely questioning your judgement and your ability to understand what you read!

See Budaatum, here is a perfect example of someone not knowing what they are talking about because they don't understand US law/culture because they don't live in the US.
Are you equating buda with basilico the lying kraken qanon conspiracist?

He called you a liar, and you then go on to tell how citizens are called for jury service, having assumed he does not know citizens are called for jury service. And the reason you think he doesn't know citizens are called for jury service is because "they don't understand US law/culture because they don't live in the US". But have you considered that he might know but still thinks you are lying all the same, or is calling you a liar because he likes winding you up like he constantly does? After all, we've discussed 2 cases here very recently, both of which had juries. Or do you think he thinks those jurors who were peers of the accused were brought from Mars?

This is why I accuse you of gaslighting. But it now seems like you just create a narrative that fits your beliefs instead of considering likely alternatives.

Sorry, but I am not accepting your 'all swans are black' illogic a la, basilico doesn't know what they are talking about because they don't understand US law/culture because they don't live in the US, therefore buda doesn't know what they are talking about because they don't understand US law/culture because they don't live in the US. Its shoddy logic and lazy reasoning, and not what I'd expect from a Harvard graduate, and if this is a perfect example of anything, its one of how you wrongly infer and claim it was implied, and then fit the data to your wrong assumption, just as you repeatedly did with me. And all it does is say more about you than those you want to say anything about.

I haven't lived in USA, and neither have I ever been there, but I know citizens are called for jury service, and if I didn't know I could just decide to educate myself by googling it wherever I am, or just read a book about jury service in America, or even simply logically deduce it from the fact that a jury of one's peers must be citizens from one's community. And that's apart from the fact that I have done jury service three times myself and therefore ought to know despite never having been to USA.

And before anyone infers from this that I am defending the liar basilico, I mule his kraken 2000 times so that idea is disabused.

Best we got is throwing stuff at Farage I'm afraid. Remember him? He gave up campaigning for dump to come run for parliament here. And to be honest we've so had enough of the Conservatives that the Labour leader would have to stand naked and shoot a child in its mother's womb for him to not win this election.

So no. Nothing interesting here, sorry.

I heard if a gun dealer provides a contract that says "Upon purchasing this riffle, you agree you will not use it for mass shooting in the future" Mass shootings will stop in the United States.
Budaatum, the UK should introduce gun ownership since binding contracts can now be used to stop mass shootings.
Na. I don't think that's a good idea. If it works for knives though, like, on owning this knife you agree not to stab anyone, I'm certain we'd want it.

Mentally unstable in America don't lie. Don't ever compare us with your UK Canada and other places where people lie to cover their personal issues

We are a holy and righteous people
Oh, everyone know we Brits are unholy and unrighteous are going straight to hell. We got elections coming, and not one person seeking election dare mention God, despite the fact there's a church in every parish. If you are going to lie on a form though, you better make sure it hasn't got that Made in America AI thing, or just confess that you are "someone who is unstable and not rational". That way, no UK court can possibly find you guilty, especially if the judge is imported from the USA.

Been watching MSNBC, and have found them to be much fairer on this. I do dread what I'd find on Newsmaxx and OAN though, as they are usually dump promoting pacs. Fox, well, I don't see their point to be honest, and the Jones channel is not even news but a diqhardener selling channel.

Marijuana is illegal federally. This was a federal prosecution. Hunter lied on a federal gun form. So, anyone who smokes marijuana should be prosecuted just as Hunter was. That is the point CNN is making.
Most see a difference between a schedule 1 drug marijuana and schedule 2 drug crack cocaine, so I don't see the point of the false equivalence.

And nor do I accept the argument that he was charged only because of whom he is, since the same argument can be made for dump's conviction in NY, which CNN conveniently did not make at the time, and even for Bobrisky's conviction in Nigeria.

President Biden's statement on his son's conviction.

"As I said last week, I am the president, but I am also a dad. Jill and I love our son, and we are so proud of the man he is today,” he said.

The younger Biden, a 51-year-old Yale-educated attorney and lobbyist turned visual artist, has admitted to struggling with addiction for decades. His father said he can relate to the “many families who have had loved ones battle addiction” and he shares “the feeling of pride” at seeing a relative “come out the other side and be so strong and resilient in recovery” after overcoming alcohol or drug dependency.

The president added that he ”will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process” while his son considers whether to appeal the conviction.

He also said he and First Lady Jill Biden “will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support.”

“Nothing will ever change that,” he added.
The only other thing he didn't say and which I wish he had said is, "no one is above the law".
