French, yes (with my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law, a number of times each...)
German, no, I either just admit I was wrong in German or get angry in English. (My German arguments almost always center around my abuse of laundry privileges (like I'll have signed up until 4pm and I'm still there at 4:02. Whereas everyone else just signs up for 4 more hours than they could possibly need and expects me to be happy that they're out 1/2 hour early. 8 families, one washing machine--don't get me started.))

My second language is Spanish and I have high-handed, spirited discussions with my coworkers all the time about silly things I hear them say with regard to Roman Catholicism and the sacraments they are required to take.

Yes, in Afrikaans. I got tired of the attitude regarding how terrible the "coloured" were, and told him 'Hy kan nie bokkem braai nie.'
(Literally, He cannot fry a whole dried and salted mullet, figuratively his logic leaves a whole lot to be desired. Kind of a 'you're an idiot').
An aside, spell check had fun with that one. :)
