Get the fuck over it people. What is the point of this? When the hell will people just learn to let go?

Which citizen of new Jersey is apologising and how many slaves did he own?
My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

His name is Bob, apparently he owned three of them after his tenure as Jesus Christ in the 60s. He's really sorry he says.

On a serious note what the fk does this accomplish other than taking state officials awway from tasks that matter and make a difference.

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

Personally I would like to apologize for all the people my great-great-grandmother, Rosina Rosario, was mean to. And especially to all the silkworms she brutally slaughtered in Italy to make thread.



Today I took care of a patient whom my great grandfather (a physician) took care of many years ago. That was kinda cool. The ol' guy showed me a scar on his hand from a wound my great granddad took care of. I understand that he was kind of an old coot. I think I should apologize for his shortness of temper...lol.

Liberal guilt run amuck. I wonder when they'll apologize for the 40 million deaths of unborns.



Another family illustration. My brother and sister-in-law have been having trouble gettin' the egg and sperm to come together. They went the in vitro route, and a little over a month ago, their fertility specialist implanted two blastocysts in my sister-in-law's uterus. They saved, frozen, a few more fertilized eggs for future use if they so choose.

Anyway, 2 were implanted. She's pregnant with one embryo per today's ultrasound. Do they...or *we*...or "all Liberals" owe an apology to the blastocyst that didn't survive???? Just curious, and trying to be on better moral footing. To whom should this apology be directed???

Peace~

On the topic of being responsible for the mistakes of our ancestors, this is one of the best quotes I've seen in SC:

Quote

All that said, I take personal responsibility that my ancestors didn't enact better immigration controls.

I'd like to apologize to all the potential children who do not exist because of my (or my partners) use of contraception.

I'd further like to apologize for all the potential little bastards who got swallowed by my partner (never even had a chance)

but I feel the most guilt for all those potential humans who ended up in a sock/tissue/pillowcase without ever even being exposed to the warmth of another human being at all

When will 'African' Americans get the west africans to appologise for selling their ancestors into slavery?

I would like to apologize for finding the above sick humor funny as hell.

This thread has the potential to have some pretty damn funny stuff written in it.

I'd like to point out that this is a false statement. everyone KNOWS that whites went and captured EVERY slave and brought them to America. They (for the most part) weren't captured and sold into slavery by there fellow country men. If they had been our press would point that out - right? I mean it wouldn't be PC to not point that out, right?

But I guess I should apologize for selling copiers. So I'm sorry, my dad did it but I didn't know any better.

What a bunch of fucktards.

I apologize to all of the agave farmers on plantations in the paradise of Jalasco for not drinking MORE tequila! I shall endeavor to make up for this transgression to the best of my ability and the limit of my liver.

In 1960 Jack Kemp Cook voted against granting the Dallas Cowboys an NFL franchise. It would be useless for his descendants to apologize.
Never to forgive; Never to forget!



There's nothing to apologize for there; in fact, he should be thanked.

I absolutely despise the Cowboys.

Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.
