Wrong + Wrong = Right?

Bored to death... maybe...
Well I was bored at work today and for some reason a thought crossed my mind. My moms always saying, "Two wrongs don't make a right!". I'd like to find an instance where two wrongs do indeed make a right so I was thinking about this all day at work and I drew a blank. Little help please? :P
 
Two ugly girls standing in opposite corners of the room, you wouldn't pay any attention to them.
Once they start making out tho...
 
Hrmm well the two ugly girls thing isn't as cut and dry as I'm looking for. Who says Ugly is wrong and who says girls making out is right? :p
 
Two Wrongs make a Right :)

Two Wrongs make a Right :)

Suit Jacket + T-shirt = Wrong

Fans + a website about it = Wrong

Miami Vice = Oh so right (in the 80's anyway) :p

Sorry, I can't take anything seriously in life :(
 
Well, you could argue modern day Japan is the result of two wrongs: Japan attacking the United States and the United States dropping atomic bombs on Japan. I certainly wouldn't consider the US choice to use atomic bombs to be wrong, but in this day and age, indiscriminately killing civilians is generally a no-no.
 
Hrmm I don't think that example would work because it seems more like an opinion about the A bomb thing. Near impossible to find an example that is cut and dry eh? Something like Sally punched Joe because Joe cheated on her but they were paid nice money to pay off their debts after going on Jerry Springer show? :P

It depends on what you believe to be wrong.

If you thinking killing of any kind to be wrong, then you could justify killing a mass murderer as being Wrong + Wrong = Right. But from my point of view, killing isn't necessarily wrong, so it's all about personal belief.

Or, think about this. They always say, is it wrong for a poor man to steal a loaf of bread to feed his family? Let's assume this time, that there are two poor men. Poor man A and Poor man B. There's also Rich Man, we'll call him Man C. Man A, steals Man B's single loaf of bread. Without a way to feed his family, Man B then steals a loaf of bread from Man Cs Bakery. Two men doing wrongs, but now both family's are fed and Man C is still fine.

Really weird analogy I know, but I guess you could justify it as two wrongs = right.
