When two wrongs become right…?

[Mayo503]

So what do you all think on this question…?

when does it become right if the things that other people are doing is has bad as the other …?

Wrongs are wrong. They don't ever become right. Sometimes the wrongs might be for the right reason or have a beneficial outcome ( @Agape93 has a good example) but the wrong is still wrong. It is especially so in that you can't compare wrongs or the quantity of wrongs and somehow they balance each other out. It doesn't work that way.

[Mayo503]

No you’re right by saying wrongs are wrong and what he said about rapist that’s down to the law and not who ever….
So people are using the wrongs for their own back too maybe I don’t know ….

[SnowedIn]

People justify all sorts of stuff. One of the things that holds societies together is a shared sense of what is right and what is wrong. I'm not saying what those things are or should be. One of the problems in the world today is that the ideas on what is right and what is wrong are splintering. Laws can only take us so far.

[Mayo503]

True

[OlderAndWiser]

If you use other people's behavior to justify lowering your standards for your own personal conduct, then that proves that you actually have no standards at all.

[Agape93]

If someone rapes your kid, and you kill that rapist, you did a "wrong " act that ended with a good consequence.

[Mayo503]

That’s fair enough but that makes you a killer
So is that right?

[Agape93]

In my opinion, yeah. You kill for a good reason, I'm fully good with it

[Mayo503]

Thats up to you but that is a wrong….
We all could do it…
It don’t make it right tho…

[Agape93]

Never said killing was a moral act, I said if you kill for a good reason, i see no issue. I find killing sex offenders to be a moral imperative.

[Mayo503]

Wow… that’s fair enough on your behalf….
But expect to go to prison for the rest of your life…..
Me leave it to the police ….

[Agape93]

I'd take the charge to make sure they can't hurt my kid or another's kid ever again.

You can leave it to cops, sure, and hope they are in the 11% that actually go to prison.

[Mayo503]

Sounds like you know what you’re talking about I’m not into any of that shit mate …
So I won’t know the % like you ….
Don’t know where you’re going with this…?
I leave you to it…

[Agape93]

I do indeed. In the USA, 89 to 90% of all sex offenders never even get convicted. That includes crimes against kids.

What I'm saying is, two wrong actions can indeed make something right in the world.

[Mayo503]

I can understand that mate but it’s still wrong in the eyes of the law…
I’m in the uk so things over here are different to your laws over with you
I agree with you but it’s still wrong

[Agape93]

The law is what allows 90% of sex offenders to get away with it. So honestly, fuck the law.

[Guy13]

How about provide me an example in a update of where the Ends justify the misuse of the Means. I think this is what you are asking but I’m not certain. Very vague at this point.

[Leopard23]

An eye for an eye. The basis for this principle is that if you do wrong to someone expect the same from them.

[Wise4myage]

That doesn't make it right.
