It seems like everyone wants an apology nowadays. What for? Is it going to make you feel better? It's not. Your ancestors got their ass kicked a long time ago and an apology isn't going to reverse it. You can't reverse an ass being kicked. The best you can do is surrender and move on: like the Japanese.
Now here's a group of people you gotta respect. They realized their country was pretty lame and outdated so they went on a mission to develop their military. They did pretty well for awhile, kicked some ass and then got nuked, twice. Do you ever hear of Japanese people bitching about shit? Never. They just cleaned up all that nuclear fall out and started some really good automotive, electronic and appliance businesses. Not a damn word.
So your grandparents were slaves, so what? At least they got to work outside. I bet the weather was great. None of that stuck in a cubicle bullshit people have to put up with nowadays.
Your country was invaded by Germany? Japan? Rome? They took your resources, your bitches and made you learn their language? Why didn't your grandparents fight back? And if they did, why didn't they fight harder? Why did they give up? I'll tell you why, it's because your grandparents sucked. They sucked at fighting off the foreign invaders and they most likely sucked at life, too.
I do understand that apologies have it's place in society. For instance if you accidentally sleep with your friend's fiance, then yes, you should probably apologize. If you slept with her twice, then apologize twice.
It's when these liberal sissies demand apologies for past events that makes this whole thing ridiculous. I have an idea though. If these people who want apologies from countries that have commited these past injustices then the country who is apologizing should be able to apologize any way they want.
For example:
From Britain to India.
Dear former colony #37,
I would like to express my deepest regrets for what my ancestors did to your ancestors. It was quite a shame that you little weak people couldn't fight back. You had close to 500 million people back then, but you still couldn't cut it. What the fuck is wrong with you people? You won your independence a long time ago, but your country has not progressed. You still smell and you still worship the same cows. What the fuck is your problem?
Regards,
Great Britain

From United States to Mexico
Dear Mexicans,
It's been awhile hasn't it? Don't you miss California, Arizona and Texas? Yep, sorry about that. Although I think those states are better off being a part of the U.S, I still can't help but imagine what they would be like if we hadn't kicked your ass in the war and taken them away from you. Maybe they would have been a total shit whole like your entire country. I guess we'll never know.
p.s I'm sorry about your country's conditions, but stay the fuck out of ours.
Sincerely,
Some random jackass American

I think everyone should stop crying and maybe learn a little something from a small country like Romania. Romania has been bullied by everyone past and present. You don't hear, see or read about Romanians crying do you? I don't, but it's because there is no television, writing or internet in Romania. They don't even have electricity, what a piece of shit.
