I am a member of another forum, ; the topic of cheating came up and
some say it is not Justifiable under any circumstances others say it is.
here is my take, "Justifiable" means a good reason or acceptable excuse, where as rationalize" means
a reason or excuse probably good, probably not.
Question, are there terms that would be better than Justify or rationalize, for such
discussions of actions of ambiguous social condonement?
Doesn't need to be cheating, just anything, like killing, lying, theft, cheating "financial",
embezzling, malfisience, or poltical deception?
Thanks, for expanding my proper use and word power.

How about "subjectively condoning"?? :O)
That is even a little facetious
