first make sure that what you say is correct, and you are not being arrogant.

Second, hear them out, again making sure that you are the right one.

Get on a common ground, the chances are they have a measure of intelligence, and are not %100 wrong about whatever you are talking about. find the points where you can agree, and ignore any that don't need correcting ( aren't important)

explain you view with any particular facts you have tactfully, even if you are dead right, and they are dead wrong,
they won't listen if you are rude, or demeaning.

and of course, realize 2 things.
you have to be a person someone likes ( I mean, if you are rude, spiteful, allways have to have the last word people just aren't gonna agree with you. Who would you listen to, a good freind who makes you feel happy? or someone who talks down to you a lot?)

2: you aren't gonna be right all the time, and there are other people smarter than you, and even if they aren't smarter, they may know more than you in that given subject.

if these fail to help, I'd tune into a starwars movie, and just tell people that these are not the droids they are looking for.

Greetings:

This question has the tinge of a Mario Puzo novel, "Never go against the family, Micheal!" But besides the obvious three B's: Bribing, Bullying, and Begging...You can take the sweet as sugar approach and win people over by (or buy) being nice. Depends on your personality...

The truth is that influence is fleeting, so if you don't want to appear as being a consummate 'people-pleaser' then just be yourself and be honest.

Goodluck

Perhaps you could start by learning how to spell. Being able to ask a question that is grammatically correct may also help.

Imagine what someone else would have to say in order to get you to agree with them.

Change yourself to hear them.
