    You can't. The intelligent thing to do is walk away.

    With someone ignorant, I can win an argument by educating that person, so he/she can appreciate my point of view. You said ignorant, not arrogant. An ignorant person just doesn't know.

    To an arrogant person, I will not even argue. You lose at the outset. You lose your dignity and self-worth.

    You don't have to make an argument with an ignorant, what you must do is to explain and let the ignorant understand so there will be no ignorant.

    have more bdays to come!!!

    You can't win. You'll just lose a lot of energy and feel stupid in the end.

    Happy Birthday, kiddo!

    It depends. If they are ignorant but are willing to learn, then you can simply show them some supporting evidence of their mistakes. If they are ignorant and close-minded, I strongly suggest you walk away.

    You can't, so take him down with a body slam, then run away as fast as you can.

    Happy birthday!
