Why is it that when someone does something bad, people think better of them if they apologize or feel remorse? It doesn't change the fact that they did it.

No, but given the choices of: 1) Not giving a shit, 2) Being proud of something stupid, or 3) Saying you are sorry and admitting fault....we reward #3. It shows that hopefully you've learned something and grown as a person. Besides, we all make mistakes.
-
because if the person feels remorse it means either a) they didn't intend to do it. or b) they regret it. it shows that they actually care about the other person's feelings. =)
-
because if they feel remorse then they have at least learnt something from their mistake that should prevent them from doing the same thing again. To err is human.

For some reason people say this 'I respect your opinion' crap - it's a transfer of pride.
