I'll repeat here what I said on RDF.
What did George Bernard Shaw say about the Golden Rule... :ask:
Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you. Their tastes may not be the same.
But I'll elaborate this time.
I would like for Jessica Alba to pounce on me and fuck my rigid but, it would be entirely unseemly for me to try do that to her and then expect to use The Golden Rule as my defence in court.
Libertarianism: The belief that out of all the terrible things governments can do, helping people is the absolute worst.

:lol:

My one golden rule is:
"Shut the fuck up if I don't like you."
Nobody sticks to it. :roll:
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

"An eye for an eye." My favorite version of the golden rule.
Nobody expects me...
