How is that an insult... I need Within Temptation...

Comparing any two beings is an insult. To me anyway. This may sound idiotic but it shows more wisdom than it implies. No two begins are equal, to compare them is normally an insult to both, or sometimes just one.

If in this case I was not the one the comparison insulted I still do not agree with it. As my name and being was used to insult that of someone else. As I have given no consent towards this, it is a misuse of my rights and is therefore also an insult to me.

Im sorry, but I have to disagree:

no two beings are exactly equal, that is correct, but all human beings have the same basic features, since we all derive from the same type of (if not a single) ancestors. understanding this, comparing two is not an insult at all, but simply an observation, to see how the two are the same, and how they are unique.
and since everything is subjective, nothing is trully superior to another, therefore saying that its an insult to one is false (why should one be insulted if the difference doesnt say its for the better or worse?)

No it is an insult. I have explained my reasoning and nothing you said countered it or gave any reasoning towards it being incorrect.

but you gave no reasoning, you simply stated that two beings are never equal (which is arguable depending on your definition of equal as exact, or similiar), and therefore its an insult

It is, nothing can ever be truly equal and the same. Even if it was the exact same in physical and/or mental form, the time of creation would differ and if it didn't it could be the time someone mentioned them in order. All this continues into the comparison.

It is NOT possible to have two equal things. True, some things can be close enough to being the exact same to where nothing is really an insult. However, this being the result of two humans being compared is very, very, very unlikely.

Thus whenever I am compared to another human it is an insult.

Avoiding education is moronic to say the least. Reasonable is not what I would call someone who did that.

I know the character Alistair from Dragon Age can be compared to Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer... probably because Alistair drew influence from Xander.

Of course he can, all things can be compared. However that does not relate to the whole "insult" aspect of it.

All this interesting babble aside. I am off to bed. Good night others.

the act of comparing is taking two things, wheter objects or others, and observing their similarities and differences. between humans, which all share basic similarities (as I said), its used to view the differences. you have yet to explain how this makes for an insult (like I said, no trait can be viewed as better or worse, since its all subjective)

I said he was the sensible one 75% jokingly, but the reason is that sometimes arguments are nothing more then ego-boosters (I do however try my best to make this an exeption, and I think we have succeded in this for the meanwhile)

I know you should...

I know if I compared you to, say, Hitler it would be an insult but if I compared you to Sharon den Adel, it would be a compliment.

Wrong once again, it would be an insult to them. Since it's my name and being that is being used to insult them it makes is insulting to them and me as I did not give my consent for the use of my name. This is a misuse of my rights and an insult.

However all that applies only to someone like me who looks into things more than usual.

Anyhow. Off to bed I go.
