I ofteh find people saying sorry when caught doing something wrong. Why say sorry? Just to escape punishment? If youwere really sorry, you would not have done it in the first place. Youcnsay sorry for some thing yu ahav doen accidentally, but if it was not a mistake but an intentional willful act of wrong doing, it is wrong to say sorry. One should be bold enough to accept the punishment, If you are bold enough to do a wrong despite knowing it to be wrong, be bold enough to accept the punishment.

I don't think it is right to intentionally do something wrong and then think it is ok to turn around and apologize for it. You should have done the deed/act in the first place. Saying you are sorry for that does not undo having done the act. You can say you're sorry if you are apologetic about what the outcome was, but really not for doing the act.
Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!!

Good day.. If one is truly sincere and apologetic about she/he'd done and repentant of it then by all means apologize, one thing though that person mustn't expect forgiveness given as simply as that. One can ask for forgiveness but consequences should also be shouldered by that person.

Hi dear...Yeah Sorry is the first word that we hear from the one who does a mistake or any thing wrong.Slowly its losing its value,its just becoming a common word for every one who does a mistake and says a sorry..And we also tend to cool down when others say sorry to us...Some people do mistakes and they don't even know that they are doing a mistake..They just do it in an angry mood or due to some other reasons..but it takes some time to realize that they have done a mistake..Then if they really feel for the mistake,then they will come back and say sorry...It is acceptable if sorry is used in this kind of situation...If you are intensionally doing a mistake and asking to excuse the mistake its just insulting your self...That shows how cheap a person is...

if it was wrong that i will not try in first the first instance doing it but if the temptation of bad is so good that i do it and then my bad luck is so good that i gt caught doing it then i will not only say sorry and make a daligient effort of not repeating it but will also try to overcome the feelings or temptations that made me do such things.
i hope that by showing determination and good will you can get the trust again and yes i will not try to do it in the beginning.

Mistakes are common,nobody is perfect. If a person does something wrong repents for it and apologises from his/her heart there's nothing wrong in forgivig them. There's nothing wrong in giving them a secind chance. FORGET & FORGIVE :):)

first of all you can't say sorry until you've done something wrong..sorry is just an expression of recognizing one's fault either intentionally done or not.
every mistake and wrong doing has punishment..punishment comes simultaneously with saying sorry. it doesn't mean that just because you did the act intentionally, saying sorry is no longer needed. it's one of the hardest words to utter nowadays..give credit to those who say SORRY and means it.
enjoy life..;o)

I am sure we have all apologized for things that we are not sorry for at all before mercuryman! Sometimes we have to surrender in order to win so this is perfectly understandable. It's not necessarily RIGHT, but it's understandable! lol. But as the saying goes, if you do the crime then be prepared to do the time!
Just because we think ourselves that what we have done does not require an apology it doesn't always mean that the person on the receiving end feels the same way. Sometimes it's just easier to apologize and be done with it.
