In my first language, Portuguese, we say "sinto muito" in the same context. Which literally means "I feel a lot". But it's the equivalence of saying "I'm sorry" in English.

It's an expression of sympathy. 

Again, Drich, if you seek to reach anyone here for any sort of productive discussion, you need to do so with better people skills. Perhaps being told "I'm sorry" by someone when one of your loved ones dies, means nothing to you personally. But not everyone is like you. I'd say most people aren't, which is why I described you as unique. If you want to get anything out of discussions with people, you'd do better to try to connect with them at least on a human level.

I guess it depends on how you measure sucess.

My goal is not to win a friend but to make people think and question what they know or at least think they know. My goal is not to get to disney, it is the road trip, the exchange of ideas and the thought/thinking process that goes behind it all.

But that's been my whole point. You are going to have much more success doing those things if you connect with the person on a human level. Otherwise they're just immediately going to dismiss everything you say as coming from a heartless robot. They're going to focus more on calling you an A-hole than they are on having a productive discussion with you. That's how you reach people... by having a connection with them.

Honestly, I'm trying to help you here because it's painful to watch someone get constantly verbally assaulted. I don't care who they are or whether or not they even deserve it. I don't like seeing it happen. I usually don't get involved with discussions you're in because of it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
