 My family used to argue all the time when I lived there. The best thing to do is not be involved. If someone tries to argue with you, do your best to deflect or answer calmly and in compromising terms- ie, use lots of "I understand where you're coming from, but..."-style statements. This makes you seem more intelligent (as someone else said) and therefore it makes the other person much less likely to continue to argue with you.
