Recently, a friend and I were confused as to whether certain discarding effects are random or not.

We know, for example, some cards like Hymn to Tourach specifically state that the discarding is random.  However, consider the card Mind Rot:

Mind Rot    {B} {2}
Sorcery
Target player discards two cards.

Does the newer wording simply omit the words "at random" and the discarding is still random OR does the discarding player get to choose the cards that he is discarding since it doesn't specifically state that the cards must be chosen randomly.

Discarding, unless otherwise stated, is always the choice of the person who has to discard.
In the case of you casting Mind Rot on your opponent, your opponent choses 2 cards from his or her hand to discard.
