   That's your problem, and isn't changing the look of your statements.

   Trying to change the subject isn't going to change the look of your   
   statements either.

   So you didn't actually want people to answer your question. Why post it   
   in the first place? (Don't answer that. I doubt you could do anything   
   other than post your opinion on something unrelated, stating them as   
   facts, trying to change the subject when you're called out.)
