I'm not apologizing for WWII atrocities (I'm not sorry)... is it ok to refuse to apologize?

[Anonymous]

I'll never apologize for what one of my war-mongers ancestors (great grandfather.. don't even know what his name was) did to other people's families long ago in WWII.

I'm fully aware of what happened but I'm not sorry at all. I'm not sorry because I didn't do anything. I'm not him and he's long dead already. Is my refusal to apologize normal? I don't feel I own any explanation at all.

I wouldn't apologise either! No one should ever be held to account for what their ancestors got up to. The entire notion of "collective guilt" is just obscene, and completely disgraceful.

[Guanfei]

No one is responsible for what someone else did.
And those who wants to blame current people for what someone in the past did can go fuck themselves.

[ShadezMcgee]

The blood is not on your hands. You weren't even alive then. That is a burden your ancestors bear. That's it. You can't apologize for shit you never did.

[Stars12122]

I don't think you have to apologize for a family member you never even met. You only are accountable for you own actions. So I agree with you, never apologize for something you didn't do.

[FunkyMonkee]

Why would YOU have to apologize for something THEY did? You parent's weren't even alive then!! I'd almost bet your GRANDPARENTS weren't even alive, then!!

[NaultD]

Who is demanding an apology from you? If they were jerk offs then "good riddance of them" and move on in life. They charged a nazi last month of war crimes on that individual and not the family.

[IesusHominumSalvator]

Yes, North americans and their jews along the communists, should regret for killing more than 120 million of inocent catholics all over Europe and Japan... They must regret for killing palestianians, syrians, and people from Iraq as well.

Absolutely. You are responsible for your own actions.
But you can recognise what he did, and whether you have been the indirect beneficiary.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Fair. It wasn't your fault. Unless you're a 100 year old retired SS Officer

[jhl_x]

You shouldn't. If that was the case, then everyone should be apologizing to everyone.

[Snakeyes7]

Why would you apologize for something you were not alive to commit?

[shortster]

Nor should you. You should only apologize for the things that you have done.

[WhitneySnow]

What country are you from?

[Asker]

I'm from the US (Maine) but my parents aren't. I'm Asian-American.

[WhitneySnow]

You have no need to apologize for what your great-grandfather did in WWII, if you’re Japanese-American.

[joeldalton]

what are you german or something?

[Asker]

I'm Asian-American

[joeldalton]

fair enough. I'm not sorry for nuking japan.

[Asker]

Good. You shouldn't be. We weren't even born at the time.

[joeldalton]

damn straight.

[mandyfire98]

You aren't responsible for anyone else's actions.

[Dimension453]

If would be weird if you did apologize for something that happened before you were born.

[BungusHighFivePizza]

dont apologize for things u didn't do

[BungusHighFivePizza]

but do be eager to attack people who demand that u do
they are horrible people

[Asker]

yeah they can screw themselves waiting for that apology from the dead
I'm tired of a couple of them still commenting on youtube about ''us'' refusing to apologize and denying the atrocities meanwhile I'm thinking ''what the hell do I have to apologize and admit... I did nothing''.

[BungusHighFivePizza]

dat is da essence of racism and sexism and everything else
2 hold one person responsible 4 other ppls actions just because they look da same way

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

But do you apologize for slavery though

[Asker]

Why should I apologize for things I didn't do? I wasn't even born at the time.

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

What about the bombings in the Middle East?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Just messing with u hehe

[FilmGuy93]

Why would appologize for something you didn't do?

[SiberFox]

You have nothing to apologize for.

[RobEurope]

No its fine keeping apologizing isn't good.

[BillyBalls]

But why the attitude?

[Asker]

I'm sick and tired of people on youtube or elsewhere still saying ''you guys never apologize nor admit your war atrocities''. In my mind I'm thinking ''you guys? what do I have to do with all this? I didn't rape women, I have nothing to do with the torture units nor death marches. I didn't do any of that. I wasn't even born and neither were my parents''.

[ManHater]

The jews would be so offended now... lol

[SlangSlayer]

Why did the Japanese kill the news?

[SlangSlayer]

Jews
