That's what the nuns always told me as well, and I figure they know something about how to keep people from looking up your skirt.

Did they also tell you not to wear patented leather? Undie reflections are a no-no.

Maybe Britney Spears should have learned a little more from her southern upbringing. Crossed ankles would have benefited her a few months back!

And her drinking less, doing less drugs, having more coordination, and generally all around being a smarter person would benefit the result of her uncrossed ankles.

I guess that's what you get for being a sex symbol at 16. That seems to warp the best of them!

Most people don't grasp the difference between a "Southern" upbringing and a "country" upbringing. Ms. Spears most certainly falls in the country category.

BUT - there are country people with manners. My great-grandparents were country through and through - lived on a farm, had a well, old house with a sleeping porch - but you couldn't find people with a better grasp of the true meaning of hospitality and good breeding. . They would be SHOCKED at Ms. Spears' behavior. (And yes - I knew my great-grandparents -my family lives forever. I think our family record is 107!)

Hey--my great-grandmother lived to 107 as well! Weird.

And yes, country doesn't ALWAYS equal...redneck? Trailer trash? Swamp rat? My family (non-nuclear) would definitely qualify as country...as well as Southern.

My aunt by marriage actually grew up in Britney's hometown, Kentwood, LA. It is quite country... but the source of really good spring water, incidentally. Britney does not have country and southern manners. She has manners appropriate for a poorly educated girl whose parents used her as a meal ticket from the age of 6. I don't think those manners are specific to any region...thank God!

Don't you mean "Kontrey"....more along the line of "Trashy". She has no class as far as I am concerned, or maturity for that matter.

If some collegiate chapter tried to initiate her, I would hope that HQ would have the good sense to deny it.

She became a mother because she thought it would be a totally different thing than it actually is. Those kids are going to suffer horribly because of BOTH of their parents.

This is repeated for L. Lohan, P. Hilton, or any other person with slutty behavior and serious substance abuse with no remorse.

A true woman, not just sorority girl, knows "When to Hold 'Em, and When to Fold 'Em". She acts with common sense and passion, gives what she can of herself. She relies on others to make her a better person while showing others the same.
