On Apologies

As a child I was often guilty of false apologies. "I'm sorry you got angry"
"Im sorry you are saddened because I set my dog on your pet rabbit"
"I really am sorry youre frail and insignificant ego was dented by the expression of my completely rational and justified point of view."

Is this an apology?

We all know that the eleventh commandment is, 'thou shalt not be found out.' In other words, I am not really sorry about what I did but I'm sorry I was found out and I am sorry you were upset and I regret the consquences but not the deed.
