Question by : Is it futile to argue with someone who holds a certain position for illogical reasons?
Or is there an effective way to subvert their feelings.

As an example, a friend of mine is convinced there is no such thing as “alcoholism.” I’ve shown him literature from the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the DSM-IV, all useless. Before you say that I’m simply appealing to authority, the literature goes into quite a bit of detail about why it classifies alcoholism the way it does.

Is there any way or any use in arguing with someone who does holds a position for irrational reasons?
I am a die hard Democrat and he is a die hard Republican, actually.

Question by : My 32 year old brother too dependent on my parents? Help?
My older brother has never moved out of my parents house, ever. All he does is play Call of Duty on his xbox 360, is a heavy alcoholic and smoker. He never buys his own beer or cigarettes. And he complains every single chance he gets about how much it sucks to live. He holds grudges against my younger brothers if they decline to “hang out” with him. He’s getting on my nerves. I hate how he gives crap to my parents. He blames everything on them. And they don’t ever try to convince him to get a job or move out. He needs to get out on his own. Any helpful advice for me?
