The  logic around here baffles me. Women get raped in America anyways, so its OK.

Why doesn't a liberal give a second thought to question the character or mindset of people who commit rape after being welcomed into countries with open arms?
 
Because the consequences of your good thoughts deeds are irrelevant. The fact that you are compassionate is whats most important.

My user guide tells me that that is know as two wrongs make a right fallacy:

Quote:Description of Two Wrongs Make a Right

Quote:Two Wrongs Make a Right is a fallacy in which a person "justifies" an action against a person by asserting that the person would do the same thing to him/her, when the action is not necessary to prevent B from doing X to A. This fallacy has the following pattern of "reasoning":

1. It is claimed that person B would do X to person A.
2. It is acceptable for person A to do X to person B (when A's doing X to B is not necessary to prevent B from doing X to A).
   
   

This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because an action that is wrong is wrong even if another person would also do it.
It should be noted that it can be the case that it is not wrong for A to do X to B if X is done to prevent B from doing X to A or if X is done in justified retribution. For example, if Sally is running in the park and Biff tries to attack her, Sally would eb jsutified in attacking Biff to defend herself. As another example, if country A is planning to invade country B in order to enslave the people, then country B would be justified in launching a pre-emptive strike to prevent the invasion.
