Please provide examples...
I don't think we need examples, just a right mathematical understanding.
Are you adding the wrongs or multiplying them?

I think so. Like if someone does something wrong, and I punch them. That makes things right.

well saying ever, meaning an infinite number of possibilities, then of course a situation when two wrongs will make a right, though i can't think of any examples of the top of my head....
Do we also need to show our work?
Given that both my parents are (or were) completely hapless screw-ups, I'd say I'm living proof that two wrongs can, in fact, make a right.*

Dear Confused Badger,
There are in my opinion very few things or actions which are actually 'wrong' in existence, and the majority of those which are are generally something to do with that up-tight archdevil god, Asmodeus, and his flunkeys.
Many Asmodeus worshipers talk at great length about 'rights'... (Usually their right to rule, to take things, or to punish.)
Hoping that you have found this post Helpful.
Yours,
Ask A Succubus.

Let us represent that which is right with a variable X.
Wrong, being the opposite of right, is equal to (-X).
(-X)*(-X)=X^2
Ergo, two wrongs are exponentially better than a right.
QED.
Dear Mr. Taig,
Is the right or wrong subjective? If so of course!

QED. 5 points for the attempt, Mr. Celestial Healer.
However, wrongs are only additive, not multiplicative.

Fair enough, if your subjective wrongs can add up to a subjective right.
The problem is when another's subjectivity enters into the equation.

Absolutely. If you're concerned with more then one subjectivity, then no.

I know of a male to female transgendered person that could not get legally declared a woman. she fell in love with a woman and she was worried about the gay marriage issue in cali. because she is legally a man they were able to get married
Counter-question: Does it matter whether it can?
Sometimes, proverbs are just useless. Better use your mind to think about things and decide each incident for itself.

Proverbs are only useless for 1. Those who don't know the right one and 2. Know how to use it.
