"distinguish"

The subjectivity of this word amuses me to no end. I can distinguish whatever I want whenever I want, as long as facebook and twitter agree with me.

So let me make sure I have this straight...

You don't believe there's a distinction to be made between "that was a bad idea with predictable consequences" and "he/she deserved [insert misfortune here]"?

I'm saying that the line that separates <"that was a bad idea with predictable consequences"> and <"he/she deserved [insert misfortune here]"> moves whenever the internet twitter/facebook mob decides it does. The distinction is mob mentality. Hence my amusement.
