    dare I say it?...

    Every Nun was Kung-Fu Cycling....

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:


    Hundreds of nuns trained in Kung Fu are biking the Himalayas to oppose human trafficking

    [​IMG]

    Clad in black sweatpants, red jackets and white helmets, the hundreds of cyclists pedaling the treacherously steep, narrow mountain passes to India from Nepal could be mistaken for a Himalayan version of the Tour de France.
    The similarity, however, ends there. This journey is longer and tougher, the prize has no financial value or global recognition and the participants are not professional cyclists but Buddhist nuns from India, Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet.

    Five hundred nuns from the Buddhist sect known as the Drukpa Order, on Saturday complete a 4,000-km (2,485 mile) bicycle trek from Nepal's Kathmandu to the northern city of Leh in India to raise awareness about human trafficking in the remote region.

    "When we were doing relief work in Nepal after the earthquakes last year, we heard how girls from poor families were being sold because their parents could not afford to keep them anymore," 22-year-old nun Jigme Konchok Lhamo told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

    "We wanted to do something to change this attitude that girls are less than boys and that it's okay to sell them," she said, adding that the bicycle trek shows "women have power and strength like men."

    South Asia may boast women leaders and be home to cultures that revere motherhood and worship female deities, but many girls and women live with the threat of violence and without many basic rights.

    From honor killings in Pakistan to feticide in India and child marriage in Nepal, women face a barrage of threats, although growing awareness, better laws and economic empowerment are bringing a slow change in attitudes.

    These are "sex offenders." That stigma can be added to a rapist (of adults) or some drunken idiot who walked around town with his dick hanging out. We don't know. There was nothing that stated these were convicted child predators (those fuckers gotta go).

    Are they despicable people, or did they commit despicable acts that they will forever be trying to atone for? I agree with the no trick-or-treating, I understand the embarrassment of it, but the duration of the sign's posting tips the scales from "public service" to "continuing punishment for the sake of it."

    It's a fine line, and valid and supportable arguments can me made a lot of different directions on this one.

    The sign doesn't say "this is a sex offender house" it just says "no trick or treating".....

    If the degenerates don't want signs placed in their yard (per statute), then they shouldn't be a sex offender..... There is no fine line and no " other sides" arguement to sex offenses. Period.

    In some circles, cycling involves pedal-power and biking involves a motor. Akin to Beamer or Bimmer relating to # of wheels.

    Whatever works for ya though.

    There is always exceptions to the case. However, for the vast majority, I agree with it.
    Didn’t realize this was going to be such a contested article.
