This week's question is a bit more serious. I've been wondering it to myself for a while now, and judging by some things that have happened over the last couple of days, and something my homeroom teacher told us, I think now would be an appropriate time to ask:
Does the saying "treat others the way you want to be treated" really work?
I'll put it into a scenario:There is Person A and there is Person B.
Person A follows the "treat others the way you want to be treated" and therefore is nice to everyone.
Person B is cold and vicious. The reasons for this can be anything you want.
Now, say Person B goes up to Person A, and starts telling them off for no apparent reason, is Person A really supposed to be nice to Person B, thus wasting time and energy and essentially becoming a doormat?
What do you think? Also, I know that if EVERYONE followed this, it would be better, but if someone was depressed or felt worthless, or essentially felt they should be treated like dirt, what would happen?

I had no idea what that guy on yahooo answers meant.
But wanna know what else is confusing? Too late, I'm gonna tell you anyways.
If Person A is nice and Person B is mean, doesn't that mean that Person B likes to be talked at rudely? So if Person A is nice, then he or she would have to comply to Person B's wishes, thus being rude.
But if Person A is rude, then he or she must like being talked at rudely, if the question still applies. Thus making Person A rude, like Person B.
And if Person A isn't rude to Person B, he or she is being rude just by being nice to Person B, who apparently likes being rude. Again, thus making Person A rude.
Did you get any of this?
Which is exactly what I meant in the question.
Isn't it Ironic?
And neither did I, he was creeping me out, really.
So then I would say 'no, whatever the question was, it doesn't work'.
I agree wholeheartedly.
Me too. =)
And our questions weren't the same. You were talking about doormats and I was talking about how the whole "treat others the way you wanted to be treated" wasn't possible.
And I was saying it wasn't possible(or at least not working the way it should), because Person A would BE a doormat.
I am not a doormat!
But you're not Person A.
Well, there ARE similarities, but you're not a doormat.
You're right. If I was a doormat, I wouldn't be typing and you'd think you were insane.
I already think I'm insane, though.
Well, you must be, because anyone who thinks they're insane is insane because they believe they're insane
You think you're slightly insane too, may I remind you.
Thank you. I consider being insane both a compliment and good thing. Imangine what people like Sammy would be lilke if everyone was sane.
Ew.
But he's not cool enough to be insane.
He just thinks he is.
You're right, he does.
We still call hin Fish Lips o.0
Him, I mean, not hin.
Fish Lips? Why in the world of insanity did you decide call him "Fish Lips"?
Well, it wasn't my idea.
But have you SEEN his lips??
Thankfully, no. I've never looked at his face and thought, "Gosh, would you look at his lips!" That's just wrong.
Well, yes, but...
Oh just ask Person X.
