I'm not referring to competitive debates, people debate issue all the time without fact checking. These nonofficial debates are probably largest driving force behind shaping and molding societies since the dawn of time. I'm all for having proof that can be pointed at in public forums for all to see, but I have found that these days that even those artifacts required a debate upon there authenticity. We have a situation where the source of what we thought was the truth has been proven beyond a shadow of doubt to be corrupt and agenda driven. So I ask you who's facts do you deem as actual facts?
