Ethically speaking, if I was a hate filled old man who spent part of my life fighting against the rights and well being of others, I would want to be treated with the utmost disrespect.
Should a murderer not go to jail because of the golden rule? I would not want to be imprisoned, so is it right to imprison others?
The golden rule is simply a philosophical idea. It's at its best a golden suggestion.
