Being a human being (no play on words intended) it’s a very natural thing to make mistakes, the big step remains to admit your mistakes and offer apology to anyone who could’ve been affected by them. And I herby, being a proud Jordanian citizen mortified by the acts of certain Jordanian citizens who seem to deem themselves super-citizens, would like to offer my apologies to fellow Jordanian citizens and to the advocates of democracy in the Kingdom. So, last year I made the gruesome mistake of voting in the 2008 Parliament election. Yes, I did, and it’s with great dismay that I express my apologies and regret for this irrational act of actually believing that we could choose a parliament that would actually reflect what we want. I’m sorry because I participated in this farce that made it look like we chose the current Parliament, the one that blocks out journalists and makes light of killing people in the name of honor. At least if we didn’t vote it can’t be said that this is our choice. I’m ashamed really to say that I took part in this, therefore I think it’s a good thing the person I voted for didn’t make it to the big stage, it makes me feel a little bit better, and I hereby announce myself not responsible for any irresponsible act committed by these people. Well, maybe it’s a good thing the parliament is shutting out press, for future generations I mean. Imagine your child seeing esteemed members of the Parliament pelting each other with ashtrays and water glasses. “Mom, what are these people doing?” “Nothing honey, it’s our own Colosseum, wait for the lions to come out.” Pathetic and sad really

said:hehehehehe! that was funny! I thought u were serious at the beginning =)
But anyways I am going to post my first response! It is not important to apologize, but it is important that the other accept it =) I just mean if apology takes 1 unit of courage, then forgiving takes 100 units of courage
And I am from my own side, accepting you apology though it is almost unforgivable =)

said:So, here's an absolute distinction in thought. If you didn'te vote, you'd have no right to complain. People who are so apathetic as to not even turn out are telling the country they just don't care... So, rather than apologize, complain. Loudly. You earned the right when you went, stood in line, and cast your vote. (And be happy, as am I, that your candidate didn't win so you're complaining about the other guy, teehee).

Haytham: LOL and I accept your mock acceptnce of my mock apology :D lol
Mommabean: That's exactly what I used to say! You vote, you complain! I like that, and since you know I was being sarcastic I think I'm sticking by that, a girl hs to have her space to whine

Dearest Ola,
Even though not Jordanian, I don't think you owe an apology to anyone. From what I understand, you did what you did fully convinced, it was the right thing at that point in time. We're all humans which means we are prone to make mistakes.
What you did was no mistake - it was good intention! You're just simply a wonderful person!!
Missing you!!!
:-)
