  6. Please refrain from any offensive language/profanities in the posts titles, unless necessary (e.g. it's in the original article's title).

Ah yes, 7 years for torturing a child to death. But don't try avoiding taxes, folks!

This community should be called depressing Wikipedia...

All I see from here is sad shit. Someone dying from a "rebirthing" isn't creepy; it's idiotic and needlessly tragic.
