This is exactly the difference I have ever seen here:
{net} is very general, like in the use of proverbs or sayings:
"ONE does not like it when people get killed"

In german this is translated using the pronoun "man".

This might be confuign on the other hand, because "man" is also used in 
sentences like "somebody is calling you".

As said before, the playing card obviously is talking about a real, 
although undefinite person "you are chosen".

But who is lu'?  Okay, just kidding  ;-)

Lieven.
