One thing that has helped me be a happy person is the realization that it is futile to argue with deranged people.
There comes a point in a conversation/debate when you realize that your friend/opponent is either disingenuous or simply not grounded in logic. That is the time to cut it off and politely excuse yourself... for your own sake.
