		<description>I'll probably resort to belly laughter the day I see a female celebrity of Color gone commando!  Don't worry - I'm not holding my breath. 

(Should I take that comment back?)</description>

		<description>You're preaching to the choir here, dear.

I'm a practicing Pagan who has attended many a ritual going far more than just commando - I went totally nudo. 

I have nothing against nudity...I happen to think the body is a beautiful thing and we should be proud of ours. Neither do I have any hangups with sexuality. In fact, I am curious why you even found it necessary to mention sexuality in the fist place, as if nudity and sexuality are synonymous. Of course, they are not.

But it is one thing to go nude in the privacy of your own home, or in a place where it is known and accepted that nudity will take place - such as a Pagan Gathering or a Nudist Camp or whatever. And even in such places, we maintain a certain level of decorum and don't go exposing our crotches for the whole world to see. I don't much care who sees my naked breasts or my bare bottom...but I'm not going to just sit spread-eagled and expose my labia for the whole world to see. 

The point is...yes, the naked body is beautiful. Sexuality is a good thing. But there is a time and a place for everything, and just because one endorses the idea of nudity in its various forms (including going pantyless) doesn't give you free license to engage in such behavior whenever and wherever you desire.</description>

		<description>Arrogant:

You make it out like I'm some kind of bible thumper or something. I'm a far cry from that. I am not trying to decide for anyone else whether their actions are "without dignity or self-respect." However, I'm pointing out the impression these celebrities give that it's ok to just wear short skirts and flash their pubies to the photogs. If a 75 year old wrinkly grandmother did that, let's see you say the same thing.

As for the "beauty" of the three women...well all I can say is beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And trust me, my hands are where I choose to place them, and they're definitely not where you seem to imply they were at.</description>

		<description>Pictures, birth scar and all, can be found on Google. Just turn off "moderate search" on Google Images.

Now only question is, do you prefer hairy or bald?</description>

		<description>I believe Jesus was going commando most of his time here, although the picture I remember he was only wearing underwear.

Although, Arrogant, I did talk to God, and he says that he'd like a link to some of those pictures posted.</description>

		<description>You don't get to decide for ANYONE ELSE whether this action is 'without dignity or self-respect'.  Just as no one else gets to decide that for you.  Trying to claim otherwise is arrogant.

God does not believe there is anything wrong with nudity, as this is the way we all are born.  Jesus walked with the prostitutes.  He treated them as human beings with dignity.  I do not see you doing the same.

You morons who open up computer viruses even though they clearly are viruses, who fall for phishing scams because your fear trumps your intellect, who believe in and forward chain letters are the same morons who believe that what any idiot wrote in a book thousands years ago is what God wrote.

The only reason people feared sexuality these thousands of years ago has to do with disease.  How else could they explain why sexually promiscious people were stricken with severe diseases?  They couldn't see the diseases as they were too small for the eye to see.  So they assumed God was punishing those people for being 'sexual'.

These 3 women (Britney, Lindsay, and Paris) are young and beautiful... let them live, and KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF.</description>

		<description>Glorified white trash they may be, but millions of internet-surfing, tabloid-buying, TV-watching folks can't be wrong, right? LOL.

I feel doubly sorry for the limousine driver who has to clean up his vehicle after one of Britney's "episodes."</description>

		<description>Virginia, you've hit the nail on the head...exactly what I was trying to convey in my blog. I don't have a problem with anyone going commando...to each his/her own. But I do have a problem with celebrities who KNOW that almost every move they make is being recorded. 

Like you said, they were wearing extremely, barely-there outfits that leaves little to the imagination. And like it or not, they ARE role models to impressionable young (and not so young) folks who keep tabs on their comings and goings.

Sometimes, common sense isn't so common.</description>
