- Go to the single most used word that really has absolutely no meaning
I see "y'all's" points, but
Which is the bigger person, the one who acknowledges that he or she has done wrong or the one who could care less?
You're right, the word sorry gets tossed about like fertilizer. But there are also a lot of people who just bulldoze through life and don't give a damn who they've hurt. We call them assholes and the world is full of them. I'd rather say I'm sorry and be prepared for whatever the person I've hurt decides to do about it than just do whatever and then piss while the wind is blowing in their direction.

Sorry... Sorry... Yep, means nothing.
I think it registers with repentance in Catholicism. It allows for supreme hypocrisy. You can do what you wish and then just say sorry.
I'm not saying that God believes that shit. I'm sure he's brighter than that. (cough)
IF someone hurts me they need to bow and apologize. By saying sorry they're taking the responsibility off of them and making you responsible for forgiving them. So if you are still angry about it then it is your fault.
Egad!

Er, thanks for the shameless advertising. It caused a sardonic smile to play across my face. You are absolutely right: sorry doesn't make the shit go away, but people seem to think that it does. Keep the boat rocking, soon we'll have the status quo boat capsized!

I enjoy using the word, though...
precisely
because it has no meaning. Just like the word, "love".
