What's your birthdate? There's a FACT!

Many things are facts, but that doesn't stop people from debating them.
by Nutsy_Rail on October 14th, 2009
A fact is a fact. Some people have opinions so strong that they disbelieve facts, and give totally irrational arguments.
by LEO on November 11th, 2009
facts are often incorrect
by spooner on November 11th, 2009
It is a fact that everything is debatable to SOMEONE, and another fact that you will undoubtedly find someone who will debate your facts!!! (Especially on AB!)
by Anonymous on November 11th, 2009
Probably the only fact that is NOT debatable is the fact that all other facts are debatable, and even that is debatable.

The question itself is debatable and is the answer to itself.

Everything is debatable

Even your birthday is debatable. Many cultures count your birthday as the day of conception.

Everything is debatable, even facts.

Fact: Everything is debatable.
Fact: That something is debatable does not render it invalid.
by dumdum on October 14th, 2009
The fact that some believe some things are facts is debatable while some would have you believe all facts are debatable. I believe it depends upon what both parties are willing to accept as truths would decide the issue. For example if I point towards the noon time sun and say that is up but you deny the whole concept of up and down how would I ever prove it so? I could ask others but even if all agree would that make what I said a truth? I know of no truths that all agree are so, but many where agreement can be found amoung a majority. +5

The FACT that your question is a question - not a regular statement with no interrogative purpose.

some things are just facts, although not everyone may know or believe it. (:
by John Cox on November 9th, 2009
Just because something is as plain as the nose on your face doesn't mean it's not debatable.

Actually everything we know has assumption at it's base. Usually the assumption that what we see, hear, feel, smell, and taste are real. But if you think about it all of those things happen in our head. All of our sensory paths end in "Sends signals to the brain" so if someone hijacked our brains and knew what they were doing they could theoretically make us "see, hear, feel, smell, or taste" anything they wanted.
by XtraXtraodinaire on November 14th, 2009
Facts will always remain debatable.
just like when everyone thought that it was a fact that the sun revolved around the flat earth until galileo debated and proved it wrong.
Fact is deniable, truth is undeniable

Some things are facts. Although a lot of things can be debates.

Newbie alert!! As you hang around Answerbag, you'll find people debating facts all the time. Nothing escapes the Answerbag debate team! If you tell somebody your eyes are brown, they'll tell you that that's just your opinion, that they may indeed be a different color, and you shouldn't try to force your opinion on everyone! Watch - you'll see!

I would say while some people have opinions, that are based on their perceptions, there are some certain facts. If everything is debatable then we are all right and that doesn't make sense sometimes. If there is a God or not, someone has to be right there is no middle ground.

Even facts are debatable if one doesn't accept the axioms on which they're based.

Mathematical answers are not debatable.
by Symbeline on October 14th, 2009
Is it really a fact if it has to be debated? Or is that just ego. It's a good question, although in most cases, I think most people argue about morality, mentality and so forth rather than attempting to illuminate a matter. It usually spirals downward from what is intended, or at claimed as, informative session.
Even scientists do this with their theories. We know something is a fact-but how is it a fact? Until that is confirmed, it is debated. And even then, it's like, total war man.
by Shatzee coming back? on October 14th, 2009
some things are fact.
by Vaporeongirl on October 14th, 2009
Not everything is debatable. The existance of gravity or the fact that we are all doomed to die eventually are NOT debatable. They are solid facts that you can't refute.
by Answerbag.com on October 14th, 2009
But couldn't you debate that time is relative and therefore you could believe a day is when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down. But I could debate that a day is 30 hours long. From that I could say I was born the 27th when you would say I was born the 28th. It all depends on what a day is.
by Eclipse sleeping by moonlight on October 14th, 2009
Most facts are just accepted knowledge.
Based on a mutual point of view.
But what's really true may not be
What's perceived by me and you.

No, everything is not debatable -- there are clear facts.

I bought my first piece of Graffiti Art today..that's a fact:)

answers to mathamatical question are not debatable but, how to get to that answer perhaps is.

theres a reason why a fact is a fact.

Earth is round and rotates is a fact. LOL
It all depends.

Most everything is debatable - ( although there is room for some debate on that issue too...).

Mathematics are factual, but quantum math has even made that debatable.
by Answerbag.com on November 3rd, 2009
Everything is interpreted differently therefore it is debatable.
by myskip398 on November 3rd, 2009
DEBATABLE.... and so is my answer :)
by Baggins on November 3rd, 2009
The vast majority of things are debatable.
by charlesh399 on October 16th, 2011
not everything is debatable. if i stated "nothing is debatable", that isnt debatable because i cannot debate it without proving it absolutely wrong. You can't debate it because the act of debating it proves it absolutely wrong, rendering it undebatable.
Which is more important asking a question or getting an answer for it?

by His Lordship... has left on October 14th, 2009
Yeah. . . . .probably so! Some people just NEED something to debate, huh? No matter HOW incontrovertible it is! LOL
by Millenium - The Mysterious M. . . GONE! on October 14th, 2009

I'm always skeptical of any human claiming to speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the facts.

;-) !!!! Thanks, BAnginBAxta! Where'd you get that avatar name, anyway????? LOL
by Millenium - The Mysterious M. . . GONE! on October 15th, 2009
Oh Long long long story:)LOL:) It is so stupid. Baxter comes from that bunny from the show Author on PBS..and at the time I was looking for a email address that was not already taken. I tried Tjoe..Tjoe123..but that was already taken. So my youngest was watching Author and Baxter Bunny came on so I just wrote TjoeBaxter@gmail.com. No one had that address:) Then it just took off from there:):)(I told you it was a long story:)0)
by TjoeBaxter is Hot Yo on October 15th, 2009
Well. . . .thank you for enlightening me! When I see "far out" avatar names, I just wonder A LOT where people come up with them! For SOME reason, yours piqued my interest enough to ask! LOL
by Millenium - The Mysterious M. . . GONE! on October 15th, 2009
And I never knew by joining the AB I would take it this far:)

An interesting case. You see, this can be debated. It could be a different date of course, depending on which calendar you use ;) Just throwing the cat among the pigeons, so to speak.
by Charco on October 21st, 2009
Well Baxter Bunny, I bet you got a pretty little tail, and a tale to tell as well. Will you be a bunny for Halloween? How about for playboy Eclipse? ;-) Eeeny Meenie Miney Moe, Catch a Tiger by the Tail.....
by Eclipse sleeping by moonlight on October 22nd, 2009
I guess I can put the bunny ears on for you...and do the Bunny Dip:)
by TjoeBaxter is Hot Yo on October 22nd, 2009
I always eat the ears first. Then nibble on the neck. And before you even notice, I've been eating the whole thing, chest, thighs, legs,.... Stay away from me around Easter.....
