This would be like shooting someone and saying, "I'm sorry that the bullet wound is painful."

Would it make more sense to say, "I am sorry I shot you?" The victim is still wounded.

For my way of thinking, the word "apology" is way overdone. People use the word who don't mean it (e.g. X42), and the world swoons. Another says "I am sorry" instead of "I apologize" and is attacked for it.

I have always thought that one could only apologize for what he did, not for what someone else did. I can't apologize for you, but I can express sorrow if you did something to someone.

Attention please. Some disruptors on FR are self-absorbed, needy trolls and some are funded by the DNC.

This has been a public service announcement.

Do you have a tutorial on congeniality that we could all devote ourselves to.

Not one that you could comprehend. No gloom and doom or attacks on the president in it. Not your style at all.

Stick a fork in him. He's done. Say hello to President Kerry.

I'm supporting Bush/Cheney in 2004.

But now all your posts make sense.........your disgusting view of those of us who support the President is here in black and white for all to see.

Several of these "Bushbots" have resorted to outrageous lies and name-calling on this very thread. They behave EXACTLY like the liberal freaks I despise.

8-] screech owl alert

U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calls for the resignation of U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld on Capitol Hill, May 6, 2004 for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq (news - web sites). Pelosi said Rumsfeld is the ranking responsible official and should step down immediately. Next to Pelosi is Rep. Ike Skelton (news, bio, voting record) (D-MO). REUTERS/Larry Downing

Prove something I never denied? Big whop for you, huh? I said I said it and I stand by it.

Now where are those quotes you accused ME of saying 450 posts ago?

Saying your sorry is not a sign of weakness it is a sign of strength. I will certainly vote for My president George W. Bush this fall and encourage others to do so.

George Bush is a man who is not concerned about the political fallout that could come from saying sorry on behalf of the nation. He is a great president. He has taken the responsibility.

Oh, if it was just us, I'd agree. But there are new lurkers and lookers at FR everyday who might be new enough to not realize what's going down.

Just my little service promoting cyber awareness.
