When people say rubbish ,you tend to show your feelings instantaneously, and it is likely to hurt your idiot partner you come across.
First keep telling yourself mentally “ USER FRIENDLY” as many times as possible whenever you come across a human being , irrespective of their relationship with you or a person in the public.
Then , politely express to the idiot that you don’t agree with his views,
You don’t appreciate his actions or views
You accept his views but there is some points to be considered for making changes in his views.
Tell him that you agree with him but not in full,
Tell him his ideas are good but you doubt the practicality of it.
Tell him it will be so nice if some changes are made as suggested.
Tell him his ideas are good but you have a different view
You have a different suggestion etc.
I am putting the same matter in different forms.
IMPORTANT:
HOW TO CONTROL YOUR SPONTANEOUS RESPONSE TO THE IDIODTIC IDEAS?
HOW TO CONTROL AND HIDE YOUR ANGER,
YOUR BODY LANGUAGE,FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WILL REVEAL YOUR MIND .
ANYWAY IT IS A VERY GOOD QUESTION,MADE ME THINK, MADE ME TO DECIDE TO FOLLOW THE SUGGESTIONS IN FUTURE.
WISH YOU GOOD LUCK!

I guess I would tell a story to this guy
using a persons name similar to this guys name
(IE; Larry instead of Gary)
and a situation similar to the situation you are in objection to
and call THAT guy the idiot. If Larry sees himself in the story all is not lost. If he doesn't... Tell yet another story with Jerry as the idiot. If nothing else you will hone your imagination,and not get too worried about calling someone else an idiot.
From a more practical side...
Just tell him "I disagree" and leave it at that
Even more??? maybe you are wrong and Gary,Larry AND Jerry
think You are the idiot and just don't know how to tell you.
Thank-you for letting me play a "mind game" with you ...that was fun.

If it involves doing a thing in a certain way, and he does it like an idiot would, give him a friendly smile, and do the thing for him the correct way.
If it involves making an idiotic statement or argument, let him realize the implications of his reasoning in a convincing way, and then offer a better alternative viewpoint.

tell the idiot this. we are all human and that means we come with faults, some ppl a bit more than others but non the less we are all imperfect. we were given imperfection we can make the long and hard journey to someday become perfect, some people just travel a little longer because they do alot of U turns. tell him or her they did a U turn and now its time to learn from it and get back onto the straight and narrow

listen, Jesus spoke to us as little ones, no different than how God spoke to us. for this reason, the reason you're searching for for on the challenge of Exodus 32:14 should be spoke back in the framework of a baby's innovations. for this reason, in Exodus 32:14 the passage is defined as an: ACT OF MERCY Why have you ever chosen to take one of those elementary little verse so some distance out of context? God bless'

Just let them continue talking. Eventually the point becomes obvious to even an idiot.

Silence is golden.
An idiot who argues his case usually knows what hes argueing for.
Or eventually it will hit them.
And if not,then just let them waste their arguement on someone else.
Their intent is to make there point, nomatter what the cost.
Dont fall into their trap, and just walk away.
Theyll realize what an idiot they are eventually

An idiot will remain idiot.
Just say 'are you an idiot'? and keep quiet.
Silence is best...no reply means making him understand his own action.

"I don't quite know where you are coming from there, can you explain it again?"
"It must be a lot different where you live."
"I disagree, really really really...a lot."
"Please. Either stop talking, or stab my eardrums with this pencil."
"Do you have enough bread crumbs to get home?"
"How long did it take you to formulate that opinion, then?"
"Can you say that again, speaking clearly into this mic? I'm gonna need a really good laugh after my lobotomy next week."
