>using Wikipedia as a source for information
Just look at the talk threads of almost any page surrounding a controversial issue. There's arguments abound regarding wikipedia's alleged neutrality.

>gun control episode
Gun control is bullshit because sometimes people need to defend themselves!

The death penalty is bullshit because it's never okay to kill a person under any circumstances!
