    Life is not about sorry - it is about action.

    I'm a Brit. We're genetically programmed to apologize for everything, in order to make up for a couple of centuries of imperialism.

    What I say - "Sorry I stood on your toe."

    What I really mean - "Sorry we invaded your country, subjugated the population, put you under imperial rule, taxed you to death with no representation, stole your natural resources, exploited local labor, and were generally ****ty to everyone. Our bad."

    Also our apologies for "One Direction"

    Fair's fair - One Direction is reasonable retribution on North America for Justin Bieber, Nickleback and Michael Bay movies.

    It's a British cultural thing but it took me a bit to grasp "Sorry?" (UK) in place of "Excuse me?" (US) when used for questioning someone else's comment.

    Also "sorry" is often used in place of "excuse me" for getting someone's attention. Hence that wonderful turn of phrase that so puzzles non-Brits - "I'm sorry, but you appear to have run over my cat."

    We are not apologizing for the fact that you have ran over the cat. We are drawing your attention to that fact, in a (probably unnecessarily) polite manner.

    I'm American but I dare to say that only Americans have this "I'm better than thou" attitude.

    It makes us look like real arses to the rest of the world.

    It'll show the last post from the user viewing the thread. The mod who's deleting it never locked this thread or moved it to mod only section. It gets trippy when this happens :)
