I'm up at all crazy hours of the night, thinking up shit. Too bad I have the short-term memory of a retarded person, so I cannot produce when I am on the spot. If one single apology was for the better of everyone, I would do it. Even our own president is doing it. For some hidden motive he and others share, he will not fold to apologize for something.
Apologies are just words, that's all.
I think that when people apologize, it shouldn't mean that they are sorry or not. It should just be an act of courtesy. You do something wrong, you apologize. It doesn't mean that you commit to not doing it again, or that you really feel bad, it's just a matter of consideration for the victim. When I get an apology, I don't expect it to be too true-hearted, because it's not supposed to be.
