By saying the choice is stupid, you still insult them. I don't think their choice is stupid.
It's just different.

I think that such absurd political correctness is hypocritical and stupid. All people make choices in the range from idiotic to brilliant. I don't see any reason for hesitation in giving honest opinions about them. I mean, this is elementary common sense and it is in no way insulting. If we do or think something stupid, we should always be grateful if someone points that out and rationally explain.
If a pupil in elementary school says stupidities in reply to teacher's questions, he will not pass the exam. Or should we also give up on giving bad grades and instead say e.g. "that pupil chose to differently understand math and so we cannot say that it is plain stupid to claim that 2+2=3"?

Yours was deleted because you quoted some of the offensive bits. Otherwise, it was fine. Sorry, should have explained that as well. My fault.
You like to call everybody hypocrits, don't you?
you must now 3 times pray confiteor and i´ll forgive you ;))
3 bomb blasts in Mumbai; 21 dead, 113 injured
Mumbai: Terror struck Mumbai once again on Wednesday when three bomb blasts rocked some of the most crowded places of the city killing at least 21 people and injuring 113 others. The first blast took place at 6:54 PM at south Mumbai's crowded Zaveri Bazaar and within a few minutes Opera House and Dadar, too, were hit by powerful explosions.
The explosion at Opera House, described by Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithiviraj Chavan as a "high intensity blast", took place at 6:55 PM and was followed by the one at Dadar (7:05 PM).
The blast in Zaveri Bazar took place at Khao Gali while a motorcycle was used to trigger the explosion near the two-storey JK Building at Tata Road No. 1 in Opera House. The blast at Kabootar Khana in Dadar took place in a Maruti Esteem car. Sources have told CNN-IBN that terror group Indian Mujahideen is the prime suspect in the blasts.
The injured have been rushed to JJ Hospital, GT Hospital, KEM Hospital and St George's Hospital.
Wednesday blasts took place just two days after the fifth anniversary of the Mumbai serial train blasts on July 11, 2006 in which at least 186 people were killed. The blasts also evoked horrific memories of serial blasts in the past as both Dadar and Zaveri Bazar have been targeted earlier too.
However, Mumbai Police Commissioner Arup Patnaik claimed that he was not in a position to say who carried out the blasts. Patnaik also said that he could not say whether the arrest of two Indian Mujahideen terrorists was in anyway connected with the blast.
Two suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) members Mohammed Mobin Abdul Shakoor Khan alias Irfan (32) and his cousin Ayub Raja Amin Shaikh (28) were arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad on July 6 in Mumbai.
According to an eyewitness a fire that broke out in Zaveri Bazar following the blasts has been brought under control.
A Border Security Force plane carrying NSG personnel, forensic experts and senior NIA officials reached Mumbai from New Delhi.
Home Minister P Chidambaram has called a high-level meeting in the wake of the blasts.
Security alerts have been issued in all major cities including New Delhi and Kolkata after the blasts in Mumbai.
The injured have been rushed to JJ Hospital, GT Hospital, KEM Hospital and St George's Hospital.
Home Minister P Chidambaram has called a high-level meeting in the wake of the blasts.
Security alerts have been issued in all major cities including New Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Guwahati after the blasts.

Austrian Atheist Wins Right To Wear Spaghetti Strainer As Religious Headgear
An Austrian man has won a three-year battle with authorities and now has a drivers license in which he is wearing a spaghetti strainer as religious headgear, the BBC reports.
The only headgear allowed in Austrian ID Cards are ones worn for religious purposes. Niko Alm claimed the strainer was a requirement of his religion, The Church of the Flying Spaghetti monster, or pastafarianism. The only dogma of the parody-religion is "the rejection of all dogma," and pastafarianism came out as a protest when the Kansas School Board ruled in 2005 that intelligent design can be taught in schools. Niko Alm applied to be able to wear a spaghetti strainer on his license like members of any other faith are allowed to wear their head-coverings. The stunt meant that the authorities called Alm in to make sure that he was "mentally fit" to drive, but in the end, he was found to be mentally competent and now his license photo features him wearing a colander.
Fantastic =)

As much as his points are interesting, he delivers them like Mitch does. so he annoys me
You like to call everybody hypocrits, don't you?
Well, actually, you are not able to answer my post rationally nor can you even find a quote where I call someone a hypocrit. That would be an insult. Stil, you accuse me of calling people hypocrits which I don't and so you again reply in a hypocritical way. Me again noticing that is not an insult. Please, notice the difference between yourself and your opinions.

LOL That's just hillariously crazy. He has really shaken the theory of intelligent design. He has proven that he is definately not a product of intelligent design and so that theory can in no way explain his existence. :D
