{December 6, 2008}   When Does “Sorry” Count?

When you say “I’m sorry” does it really matter?
Can you accidentally punch someone in the face and have it be Ok?
How does that go?

Are you practicing your boxing moves in the middle of the hallway, punching the air, and suddenly you turn around and punch some random passerby?
“Oh shit, man I’m sorry!”
“It’s OK dude! No worries, I’ll just walk it off!”

No.
No this just doesn’t happen.
Chances are, when you say “oh shit, man I’m sorry!”
that dude is gonna go
“The fuck dude?! Yeah you better be sorry, but you know what? Sorry won’t relocate my fucking jaw!”

So when does sorry count?
You know you can’t say it when you actually MEAN to do something.

Or can you?

I’ve heard it said that if you pray to God to forgive your sins, he’ll forgive you and let you into heaven.
Is this true?
Can you kill someone, then go to church to confess and apologize to God and, morally anyways, get away like nothing happened?
Can you really do this?
What, in the hell, was God thinking when he made that rule? Did he have a hangover? Was he drunk? Was there a stripper there?! I do not understand in the slightest.

This rule should apply to everything.

I should be able to go to the store, steal 5 bags of goods, go to court and say “Your honor, I apologize for stealing these things” and go home, no questions asked.

Wouldn’t that be awesome, though?!

*giggle* Makes me wanna go shoplift now.
