Where's the difference?
The fact that one matters only to the individual, and the other matters to the world.

I'm not gonna win any arguments in here given that everyone else is talking about technical definitions, whereas my attitude is just that there's a line and anything below the line - while it may be enjoyable to some - is not worth serious consideration. However I think that's a valid stand to take in the quagmire of shit that culture unleashes upon us, and the only real argument is where and by whom the line should be drawn.

Obviously, I think it's by me, and if you disagree then you fall below the line so I don't really give a shit.
