Argument is persuasive in attempts to get the other to adopt your point of view.  This is combative.  Discussion is expression of ideas coupled with mutual respect for the other's point of view.  So the line is when the language used turns to persuasion instead of expression.

Answer 11

Literally Discussion means two or more people have different opinion and they talk it out, make compromise to find one solution.

Answer 14

Discussion is simply an exchange of ideas, some in agreement, others in opposition.

A discussion becomes 'heated' or 'emotionally charged' if strongly opposing views begin to emerge; then it can develop into an argument or even a fight.

An argument is usually between two parties, each trying to convince the other, often by use of forceful words, that he or she is right.

The defining line could be the change of tone or the refusal of someone to accept other points of view.
