So really your problem with my statement is not what I think about the actions of other people, it's that I used the words "loser idiots."
I have a strange feeling that if I used the words silly children, you would've still found a bone to pick with me as it is still an insult no matter how you look at it.
As for the words "loser idiots," I don't find them to be all that offensive. My father can be the king of idiots because he follows the Bible nearly word for word, but that doesn't mean that he's stupid round-the-clock. He's actually a very smart man with a painfully stupid view. Notice how I just judged him and quantified him as an idiot. That is my right to do so, I will not however go and yell at my father to stop believing in something he loves.
Allow me to give you a list of other people that I feel are idiots/ losers/ stupid if not all the time, some of the time.
Radical Conservatives
White Supremacists (neo-Nazis)
Mormons
Radical Liberals
Skateboarders
Telephone Marketers
Mit Romney, Sarah Palin and a host of other politicians
The actors/stuntmen on the show Jackass.
Michigan Drivers
Some Women
Some Men
Clergy
Xray Technicians
People who love anchovies
People who talk too loud on their cell phone
Street Gangs / Criminal thugs
Gambling addicts
Abusive Fathers
People with face tattoos (and I LOVE tattoos)
Carrot Top
Bathroom attendants
... I could go on for hours, but I'm trying to get you to understand that just because I deem an action/person stupid or idiotic doesn't mean I'm right. It means I'm exaggerating my dislike for something to make a point. A point that you can easily ignore since I would never infringe on someone's right to be an idiot. As far as I'm aware, I'm allowed to think that people who dress up in tights and truly do WANT to be some silly childhood superhero - are idiots ... even if I'm wrong in my quick assessment.
