Why is it that as soon as i flag a persons post they in turn flag my post that actually had good content. Its almost like i dont want to flag anymore since i am afraid retaliation.A second misdeed or mistake does not cancel the first, as in Don't take his ball just because he took yours-twowrongsdo not make a right. This proverbial adage sounds ancient but was first recorded in 1783, as Three wrongswill notmake one right.Examples of Two Wrongs Make a Right

  1. Bill has borrowed Jane's expensive pen, but found he didn't return it. He tell's himself that it is okay to keep it, since she would have taken his.
  2. Jane: "Did you hear about those terrorists killing those poor people? That sort of killing is just wrong."
    Sue: "Those terrorists are justified. After all, their land was taken from them. It is morally right for them to do what they do."
    Jane: "Even when they blow up busloads of children?"
    Sue: "Yes."
  3. After leaving a store, Jill notices that she has underpaid by $10. She decides not to return the money to the store because if she had overpaid, they would not have returned the money.
  4. Jill is horrified by the way the state uses capital punishment. Bill says that capital punishment is fine, since those the state kill don't have any qualms about killing others.
