We were just saying, this whole thing is so stupid.

The title came from a conversation. But I would like to replace "is" with "was." Any comments about this? Thanks.

I think you sure could, if there is a good reason to do so. Changing it to "was" you would shift some facts into the past, and whether that's ok or not depends of the context.

Sure. It's fine. It's the equivalent of direct vs. indirect speech.
