They can then be open to be sued for financial compensation. I think this stops many would be apologisers from genuinely saying sorry, when just that simple word would be enough to heal many wounds. Unlink the words sorry from the liability. Allow people to say sorry, without this being a legal admission of guilt, and I think we will all be the better for it.<div class="forum-topic-navigation"><a href="/why_dont_people_like_america_0" class="topic-previous" title="Go to previous forum topic">‹ Why Don&#039;t People Like America?</a> <a href="/zionists_keep_killing_innocent_people_and_media_keep_quiet_about_it_0" class="topic-next" title="Go to next forum topic">Zionists keep killing innocent people and media keep quiet about it. ›</a></div> http://www.opendemocracy.net/actually_i_dont_think_we_apologise_enough_0#comment democracy &amp; power Sorry!
