http://www.xrefer.com/entry/198507 LOL! That's a very poor source for synonyms and definitions. Try Webster's, or the Oxford dictionary.

Here are some of the more ridiculous claims for words with equivalent, or nearly equal meaning from that source:

disorder, revolution, rebellion, guerrilla tactics, forced resignation

Words must have definite meaning, or the use of them to communicate at all is worthless.

Roscoe will quote anything, no matter how ridiculous it may be if he thinks it supports his argument or agenda. Almost as ridiculous as CJ claiming he has a right not to feel sad.
