Two wrongs DO make a right
2 examples
-X + -Y = +Z
a man created a button that would destroy the world (wrong)
I dropped it and broke it ( Wrong)
but surely thats good
so when someone says two wrongs dont make a right, or hard work never killed anyone , tell them to read this.

Perhaps it should read, 2 evils don't make righteousness. As for the dropping and breaking it, I'm not sure I'd classify that as "wrong".

Two wrongs can make a preferable outcome, however :)

Does that make it wrong? Just because someone hits me when I run a red light and I get pissed off, doesn't mean it was wrong for him to procede through a green light does it?

Two wrongs might not make a right, but three lefts do!
Also,
-X + -Y = +Z
is only true if
A) X and Y are negative, or the one with a greater absolute value is negative;
or B) Z is negative.
I think you mean
-X*-Y=+Z

Actually 1 left can do the trick depending on the angle of the turn.

-X + -Y = +Z
no it doesnt.
-4 + -3 = -7
perhaps you mean -4 x -3 = 12
