If someone is trying to pick an argument with you, what is the best thing to do, to avoid this from escalating?

To me, some people are just looking for trouble. So whatever I say or do, will always be up against challenge, from them. If I say something, it's wrong, if I don't say anything, I'm accused of pouting. What is the best way to deal with this no win situation?

I just will say I am not going to go there with you, this will just end up in a fight and I am not going to argue. Or just try to change the subject

First thing I learned from a close friend is never let them know they got to you. Keep control of your temper. In a heated exchange things are often said without thinking of the aftermath. I know of a lot of good friendships that have disolved of arguements on very minor things. Take the time to listen to the other side of the story.Be as reasonable as possible but if takes walking away, do it. It's much better to come back later when things have cooled down than break up a friendship forever.

I just walk away and stay away until that person has time to clam down or just hid

Some people think that they are the only people entitled to an opinion. Sometimes I think you have to stand up for yourself and just say that you beg to differ and recognise the other person's freedom to have theirs but you are just as entitled to yours'.
If it were a person I knew quite well, I would be saying what is up with you ?

Hi there, just agree to disagree with them as your opinion differs from the person in question that much. Plus you're not in the mood for a debate on this subject at this moment in time.

For me it really depends on the person and the situation.

I always remember, what I don't say I will not have to apologize for later. The Bible says, "a soft answer turneth away wrath", and if it is not anything to important, it is better just to agree with them.
