Just musing you know, but it seems to me that, no matter how wrong people are, or in some cases how rude, apologising is not an option for them. Are you 'man' or 'woman' enough to apologise when you're wrong - and if not, why not?

ttfn, exactly right - but in applies in all walks of life. People do respect honesty and humility. I have no respect whatsoever for people who won't apologise. Cowards all.
Pinki that was sweet of you and I hope I accepted gracefully.

Mick, ha ha! That's the kiddie!! You got in in one! :o)
What I've noticed with some people, after you've apologised to them is then they speak down to you and try to belittle you, a try to make you feel guilty.

Society, when you apologise it has to be brief, dignified and confident rather than subservient. Mick's lovely daft post is a perfect example of subservient. :o)
I won't apologise for things I haven't done wrong, but I will be sorry that the other person feels that way about it.
