A Heartfelt Apology

+I know you're sincere, and can appreciate that, but I have to laugh at "head appendage".
See, without culture, you don't get these sorts of perspectives. :)

I wouldn't have it any other way, actually. For me, a world where everyone is the same would be just boring. I like to embrace diversity.
 
What's the next appendage that will be the subject of your dire attempt?
I don't know. I can't figure out if you're being serious. If you are, I guess I'm lost.

Anyway, I guess I'll make a better effort. I always thought the place was hostile. I wasn't trying to be one of them.
 
I just wanted to clear the air about my poor word choice when describing a head appendage in a previous thread. To anyone my poor choice of words offended, I cross my heart, my commentary, in my short-sighted mind, was more about class, just in terms of character, and not meant to demean anyone from any location or culture in the world in some underhanded way, but I can see how it came off that way.

Anyway, I used a bad analogy. I simply didn't realize how it could be interpreted that because I myself did not interpret it that way. Having been around several cultures with the same stereotype, I failed to see how it could be interpreted as me directing it at one or somehow others when that's not how I meant it.

Anyway, I've never been someone above admitting I'm wrong. And that means apologizing when it's called for. I'm not going to make it long. But I do apologize for my thoughtlessness and will make an effort to self-monitor my posts a little more closely.

I try to be the last person trying to make this world harder for another person than it already has to be. I know we deal with enough struggles without that piled on top, and I'm really not trying to contribute to being that guy. Never have in the past, and never will, intentionally at least.

Cheers
I don’t remember the post, but you must have really gotten some negative feedback from it. Lol
 
Sometimes people bring the ugly out of us. I do not anger easily so usually when it happens it’s because someone is provoking me. But I also will apologize when I take it to far. And sometimes you’re just having a bad day and someone comes across you wrong and you blow up at them. Apologize and move on. If you mean it and they do not accept it then oh well.

And sometimes people are to sensitive. Some kids today would have a harder time surviving and navigating in the world we were brought up in. I mean as far as being offended or hurt by words. Bullying was not talked about as much back then. Now there is anti bullying stuff everywhere. But I will say when I was young and if bullied you could get away from it when you went home. Now with social media kids have a hard time getting away from it. But hey there is an ignore or block button to use.

Anyways.. sorry if i rambled on. If you don’t like it then screw you. Jk. :lmao:
 
My wife has about 8 young ladies working for her that are all between 25-30 years old...some of the stories of how ill prepared they are for life would BLOW YOUR MIND...and they are all college educated.

Noooooooooooo, I am absolutely screwing around.

Just want to know which appendage I'm screwing around with!!!!!
 
I need a detailed description of what you meant to say, what you actually said, and why what you actually said would be found insensitive (be specific!! I’m keeping a journal) before I accept your apology
 
Never, ever, ever, apologize. No worries you are forgiven.
"Never apologize. The rights sort don't need it and the wrong sort take mean advantage of it." - P. G. Wodehouse

Not something you can invoke 100% of the time, but 90% of the time...this is just about right...
 
I saw the title and assumed the last 27 years were your fault. If so, I'd want more than an apology.
 
I have no idea what you are referring to, but apology accepted.
