Are you seriously comparing Freddie Mercury to a soldier and all the soldiers that laid down their lives defending your country in a time of war? You are freaking insane and blinded by a band. Your ignorance and lack of respect for the people who keep you free sicken me.

It was a slight over-reaction, BUT....it wouldn't make sense having Freddie beside a soldier and saying it's a part of how Britain became Britain. Freddie is my absolute hero, and is an important part of our history (althoug he's not British!) - but there are more important historical figues that highlight how Britain became Britain! Also, if we were to just throw statues up under that logic, then there would be THOUSANDS of folk up there before Freddie (scientists, medical pioneers, surgeons, inventors, writers, politicians, architechts, royal and religious figures, manufacturers, retailers etc etc) in order for it to make chronological (and linked) sense.
Apart from that, we'd have no room for actual people lol

No, it wasn't much of an over reaction. I serve in the military and stupid comments like irritate me and shows a lack of total respect that citizens have for their military and sometimes people need to just sit back and THINK of what those who serve in the military actually do for them. I can't believe that Freddie Mercury would be brought up in the same breath as things or people that shaped Britain. Are you freaking kidding me?
She didn't mean it the way you've taken it. Nobody is showing you, your colleagues or those who have fought for us any disrespect or insensitivity. I think she's getting at important figures in British history (as I've said there's more important figures, but you can't argue that Freddie is an important figure in British music and popular culture) but she could have explained it a little better. There's no harm or malice intended on her part, and I think having a little more patience, and taking the time to educate her a little better is more apt than losing the rag.
And I may not be a military man, but I do understand and appreciate what's being done for this country by guys like you.

I can't believe I watched that entire thing. LOL
And it's a right miracle it didn't get run over, what with all those people driving on the wrong side of the road. ;)
