I went to her house and asked to borrow some of her clothes to change in to; it rained out and they were soaked. I go home wearing her clothes with my clothes in a plastic baggie, but I don't intend to return her clothes because she still hasn't given my shirt back. ]]> 2016-11-08 18:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136190143 Why is this a fallacy?  destiny62195 https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136191177 Two wrongs making a right means that you feel like you are justified in your actions towards someone because they have or would have done the same to you. 

In the example, Jenny hasn't returned my shirt. Therefore, by the fallacy, I feel justified to keep her clothes since she has been keeping my shirt as well.]]> 2016-11-08 18:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136191177 destiny62195 https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136192639 2016-11-08 18:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136192639 destiny62195 https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136193532 2016-11-08 18:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136193532 Do two wrongs make a right in The Simpsons?  destiny62195 https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136194058 2016-11-08 18:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136194058 Two Wrongs Make a Right https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136290896 2016-11-09 03:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136290896 https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136291351 2016-11-09 03:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136291351 Example by Logically Fallacious destiny62195 https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136292841 Example: 
Jimmy stole Tommy’s lunch in the past. Therefore, it is acceptable for Tommy to steal Jimmy’s lunch today.

Explanation: 
It was wrong for Jimmy to steal Tommy’s lunch, but it is not good reasoning to claim that Tommy stealing Jimmy’s lunch would make the situation right.  What we are left with, are two kids who steal, with no better understanding of why they shouldn’t steal.]]> 2016-11-09 03:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/destiny62195/irrhyavfx6gv/wish/136292841
