Honestly, if you can't think of something more productive to say, don't call something "stupid." That's what you say when you're in fifth grade and someone says something you don't like. If I was having a conversation with someone and they said "But that's stupid!" I would probably not want to talk to them much. Intelligent people can come up with better responses than that if they don't like something.
That being said, I PERSONALLY equate saying "that's stupid" to "you're stupid" because I was once in a relationship where the guy said everything I wanted to do or liked to do was "stupid." I mean, if you hear that word applied to everything you want to do, eventually it starts sounding like everything that comes out of your mouth is stupid, which would equate to you being stupid.
Martel has said things were "stupid" on occasion to me, which I didn't take offense at because he goes on to explain WHY he said that. It's not like I was like "I like the Food Network" and he went "That's stupid *pout*." It was generally when I was acting foolish or emotional and he said it to get me out of the frame of mind I was in.
