Didn't someone say that we're all only two meals away from a revolution?

You'd wanna keep those efalents well fed 'cause that one'd be a stomper!

I'm sure we will all remember where we were the day Mr. Bubble got shot. His final words were to his father. "Pop!"

Zhou Guizhen, who is 86-years-old, shows one of her bound feet where the bones in the four small toes were broken and forced underneath the foot over a period of time, at her home in Liuyi village in China's southern Yunnan Province, February2007. Villages in China where women with bound feet survive are increasingly rare but the millennium-old practice nevertheless took almost four decades to eradicate after it was initially banned in 1911.(AFP/File/Mark Ralston)

How could you do that to someone? To your daughter? I didn't know foot-binding included deliberate breaking and repositioning of toes -I thought the foot was just tightly bound so there was no room for growth. I guess it's just a topic i never really studied.Interesting Article here says they did it to themselves -a seven-year-old breaking her own feet.

Because you want her to be beautiful and have all the advantages in life she possibly can.
Now as to why that was thought to be beautiful...

Cultural Differences.

It was suppose to be found attractive back then so they thought they were doing their daughters a favor.
