It is hard! Best to not even try!
-
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience.
-
Walking away
-
By not having one.
-
depends on what you're arguing about...
-
Violence....maybe? heehee :)
-
Dont waste your time, or energy arguing with them, the best thing to do is ignor their butt.
-
You don't. Ultimately you are the winner because you're the smarter one, but if they're too dumb to get it and you keep trying, it just makes you look just as dumb.
-
Let them tire themselves out and learn when they are using childish techniques which are so blatantly obvious. You need to hear them out though just to show some respect to them so that you can fire back with your rebuttal. You compose your retort once you have composed and collected yourself. Be polite but be to the point and state it as it is and don't worry about anything when you got to say what you got to say, know deep down in the deepest that you are saying what you mean to say in all the deepest conviction that you have and you can't lose. Yes, always try to walk the line of peaceful debate as opposed to argument. That's how intelligent people know how to argue. arguing is a part of our human nature. we can't repress it so we need to learn as a world how to discuss divergences in thought patterns in a more grown up matter.
-
By walking away.
-
Why bother? What's the point of winning an argument who is ignorant? It's like winning a marathon against someone with no limbs.
-
By shutting up. Let him or her debate/argue with himself/herself
-
I believe the deffinition of ignorance is the absence of knowledge, so supply them with the correct information, once they obtain the correct knowledge there won't be any argument.
-
Often you can't. It is often the best thing to do to walk away. Let them think they've won..who cares? you are not going to win anyway.
-
you can so ignore them and dont answer
-
Make fun of their spelling.
-
Ignorant just means they don't know the subject. The first part would be to inform them. Then tell your point of view.
-
By not arguing with them at all.
-
It's against my moral convictions to enter a battle of wits with an unarmed individual.
-
By not arguing at all. You give the person the facts they need to understand the situation, so they can no longer be considered ignorant on the subject. Then you can tell them your opinion, but you can't expect everyone to agree with you. If you are still convinced that you are right and they are wrong, perhaps there are other facts that need to be shared. You may not "win" at all, because now that they are informed, they may see things differently and convince you to change your mind on the subject. Either way, both people win because knowledge is passed and a connection is made.
-
If the person is ignorant that means he/she is lacking information...if you can educate the person or provide the information that is lacking then perhaps you can discuss the topic and come to some reasonable conclusion. We're all ignorant about many things...sometimes we don't want to be bothered by the facts because it will complicate our thinking...but by and large I would guess that most people would appreciate the information and if you were to approach it in a friendly manner without being patronizing or arrogant, you might be surprised about the quality of the conversation that might follow! :)
-
by walking away
-
Agree with them. If they are determined enough to remain ignorant by arguing..why bother? My daughter's ex and his dad tried to argue with me that there are Saber Tooth tigers in the Jackson, MS zoo. I swear, they DID! After telling them that they were extinct, they still maintained that they were there. I just said okay, but I got intense pleasure from imagining the reactions of others that they might make this revelation to.
-
If you argue with an idiot then you end up with two idiots!
-
If he's just ignorant (without knowledge of the subject) it's easy! Just make up all the facts you need to to support your case. He won't know they're bogus. He has no knowledge to contradict them.
-
Karma, well it will catch up to them and everyone there ways of being if it is a positive or a negative i have relized that thou out my life take for example Britney Spears and others i know who gives but that is just a sample of what justin timberlake was trying to sing about what goes around comes around in his words there was wisdom, suprizeing but true.For example someone that volenters to help the elderly and homeless they may not get paid for there work but i look up to those who do that out of kindness and genoriousity and humanitarian efforts to help one another.Well everything in life comes with a price it like if someone is ignorant what is the point for me to make myself look more ignorant than they are by beating there @$$ with my fist. You have to just walk away from them or you can be openminded and voice your thoughts to the world or feed them to the wolves,lol
-
You can't. As I always say "You can't preach wisdom to a goat." You could have examples, evidence, even bona fide proof, and they will stubbornly refuse to accept your win. In the end, it is you who are wrong, for continuing such an obvious futile action.
-
Just don't even bother to waste your time. You can't fight a battle with an un-armed opponent - so much easier to let their ignorance fill them with a sense of victory! After all, every dog deserves a bone now and then!
-
Leave them in their ignorance. Silence is often a powerful argument!
-
Stick around answerbag long enough and you will see how.
-
live longer
-
You don't, really. If anything you should try to educate them. If they don't listen then they're not ignorant, they're a stubborn idiot:)
-
By walking away.
-
Don't argue with them in the first place?or walk away.
-
Stop arguing.
-
shoot them in the groin
-
By ignoring them ...just like I did today ! Arguing with idiots is worthless :-) !
-
Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level, then overwhelm you with their experience.
-
Don't even try.
-
Oh well see I really like tthose kinds of arguments because i like to get ignorant also and 9 times out of 10 I dint give up they wound up givin up
-
Ignore them they shut up eventually
-
throw a chair, break a window, or put your head through a wall. works everytime.
-
BE IGNORANT, and the silence shall remain forever..
-
I hoenstly dont think you cant. Its hard to educate someone who doesnt want to listen, and ignorant people tend to be set in their ways. Its a waste og engery. Best thing to do is to end it with something witty/friendly that will confuse them then excuse yourself from the conversation and act like the argument didnt occur/dont hold a grudge.
-
Easy. Just saying your argument, educate this person. If this person is ignorant, why do they even bother to answer at all?! Or make fun of this person.
-
If you try to engage with someone who is ignorant of the facts, all you do is round yourself into the ground trying to make yourself understood! You can't! Nine times out of ten,they simply *will not* listen, the other one time they will not believe you, so what is the point. You know the truth, you know the right, leave it at that. Ignorance to them is bliss. Trust me on this. I've tried.
-
If you try to engage in an argument with someone who is ignorant is looking for trouble - you will only end up running yourself into the ground. Nine times out of ten they *will not* believe you, the other one the won't listen, so why bother. You know the truth, you know the right, leave it at that. Trust me on this. I've tried.
-
Stab them in the eye with an overcooked french fry.
-
Hand them a blank piece of paper. Tell them: "here are the results of your last IQ test."
-
I hate to say this, but physical abuse is probably the apropriate response here.
-
tell them that they win the argument because theres no reasoning with an ignorant person.
-
Tell them they won the argument because there is no use reasoning with an ignorant person.
-
just smile & keep my mouth shut.
-
You don't. You make them think what you want is perfect for them.
-
Walk away
-
i ususlly just ask them questions so they have to confirm or deny parts of their arguement. that why they hear what they are actually saying. and then i can mock them if they dont see their error. for example: someone says the sky is green- ignoramus: the sky is green! me: no it's not ignoramus: yes it is. me: oh really, what color would you say the grass is? ignoramus: ummm green i guess. me: are the sky and the grass the same color? ignoramus: no... me: the sky is blue, so shut up.
-
Winning isn't everything, and there are times when this is more true than others. . As I once read somewhere, "Never argue with a fool. People watching may not be able to tell the difference".
-
You win by not starting the argument. There is absolutely no way you can ever prevail against ignorance and stupidity. Look around here and you'll see the proof of that in every other thread
-
Don't mud wrestle with a pig: you both get dirty and the pig loves it.
-
Change the subject and don't worry about winning. It will only lead to stupid arguments.
-
By not arguing with them in the first place really, ignorace is pretty powerful to the pperson who is under its influance.
-
tell them your entitled to your opinion unfortunatly your not only wrong, your dead wrong but i have nether the time or energy to debate your stupidity have a good day now
-
I don't think you can win an argument with someone who is ignorant.
-
simple family gets everyones blood going trust me :)
-
Tell them that they are right, that way their ignorance of the world continues, the ignorant conversation stops... you are the winner every time
-
Introduce to them the art of edifice to them, henceforth, this will eradicate the need for them to have an excuse for their ignorance. Knowledge is power, and ignorance is not bliss.
-
be a bitch, man. That's wat i do. insults r alwayz good. wait, scratch that, they won't understand... *sigh* never mind, that was the only way i no how, other than with mah fists, hunny.
-
I don't try to win since it would be futile.
-
Take comfort in knowing over time,Darwin's theory will be prevail and their genetics will no longer be spread throughout the gene pool.
-
You don't. Just try not to let them get you too angry because it's not worth the effort.
-
You have to see their side like a rational human, but don't be too rational. You have to sink to their level somewhat, but not too low. You have to deliver your argument with more facts then they do in a more passionate outrageous way. If you try to argue with them and they're getting mad they feel like they're winning. You need to stay calm though and make them look like a fool. Embarass them.
-
You probably can't, and it's going to be more aggravation than it's worth to try. I'd say just let it go and walk away, and spare yourself the extra stress.
-
Do not get into it in the first place!
-
You use their ignorance against them - but remember your only arguing with them for your own amusement - because ignorant people never learn anything from arguments.
-
don't say anything that makes sense and when your tired of it just laugh until they leave
-
BY USEING CHILD PSYCHOLOGY ON EACH.
-
Walk away as soon as you as possible.
-
You cannot win any argument. Even if you prove him wrong without a doubt, he will still think he is right. If 2 people argue, they both lose. . You can show him proof that he is wrong, he will then ignore you.
-
If they are ignorant there is no point in arguing with them so you in by walking away and saving your breath.
-
Let it be and walk away +5
-
You can't. Extreme ignorance overpowers common sense. That's just the way it is.
-
Don't argue with them.
-
By not participating.
-
You do win. They're just too ignorant to realize it.
-
you know the difference between winning an argument with another smart person and winning an argument with an idiot? the smart person usually doesn't respond by kicking the shut out of you.
-
If someone is truly ignorant they don't have an argument to make. Therefore if they are ignorant, they are not arguing. If they are arguing, perhaps they are not ignorant. I would suppose you need to examine the assumptions that the person is making and challenge those assumptions.
-
You can't, because they never get a grasp on what you are trying to say.
