Grown ups go too but were of the belief, that was spewed by tanning salon owners,that this was a safe way to get a tan or the need to get a "base" tan before they head for the beaches.<br />And yes, I feel there are parents out there who don't parent well and rely on the government entities to do their work for them. If kids don't listen to them then let the law tell them. Which, by the way, is not what government is all about.<br />On the other hand, we do have unscruptious individuals who will see how far they can push the public safety issues for their personal gain/wealth. At that point the government should get involved for safety of the general population.(food recalls, car recalls,medications recalls and etc)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-44471579314527128242010-09-02T09:33:23.162-04:002010-09-02T09:33:23.162-04:00Hi Nurse,

As a conservative, you agree that it is the PARENTS responsibilty, not the law, to allow or not allow their children to do this and that. Now, I know a 'law' gives the parents an 'out' when it comes to being 'tough' on their kids. The law takes away the tough argument with your child who wants to do it, because 'Nancy Ispopular' is doing it too. Why should we give an out to LAZY and 'I want to be your friend' parents?Joe Bubelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206625896778602035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-72768499213620948222010-08-30T22:31:45.662-04:002010-08-30T22:31:45.662-04:00This nurse is not a liberal.

I agree on some of your last postings but when it comes to something that has been proven to be deadly and can be prevented wouldn't you concede that protection is the way to go? I too have a light tan but I tanned carefully with a SPF 45sunscreen over a period of several weeks.<br />I don't have a problem taxing the tanning salons. Eventually we all will pay for an individual's cancer diagnosis thru health coverage by higher insurance premiums or for a person being uninsured.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-62268557304931931982010-08-30T11:33:53.955-04:002010-08-30T11:33:53.955-04:00I just have to ask, do you liberals even realize h...I just have to ask, do you liberals even realize how, in the name of 'good', you absolutely SUCK the fun out of most things in life? Can you even see that side of things? Or is protecting everyone from themselves so important to you, it leaves you blind? Old Man Snyder still allows kids to sleighride on his farm. How long to you think that would last, once someone like Suzan gets the itch to protect the children from sleighriding?<br /><br />Did you wear helmets as a kid, and you survived? Were you required by law to wear a seatbelt as a child, and you survived? Did you have sugar and salt with your meals, and you survived? I find it amazing, how so many of us survived the 60s and 70's as kids. One would think a majority of us should have died due to accidents.<br /><br />Stick with things like banning plastic bags, that is something we can all live with. But jeese, stop trying to protect us from ourselves.<br /><br />BTW, how did you like my tan in my picture? 100% sun.Joe Bubelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206625896778602035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-59766703692060539012010-08-30T07:51:09.085-04:002010-08-30T07:51:09.085-04:00Right on!Right on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-28205622329321889052010-08-27T21:36:30.540-04:002010-08-27T21:36:30.540-04:00Tanning beds have more harmful rays due to the con...Tanning beds have more harmful rays due to the concentration of UVA and UVB. Just think about it..If you can get a tan in 3 days or so in a booth and if you sit in the sun it might take a week or more to get a tan for the normal type of skin. What do you think is the more harmful of the two? Why do people not wear sunscreen in tanning booths while people who sit in the sun wear sunscreen. The idea is to get the darkest tan in the shortest time span in the booth. Very dangerous. Teens and young adults for the first time in decades are being diagnosed with melanoma. This can be contributed to tanning booths. So Joe, do some more research. As a nurse who has seen people die from the lethal form of skin cancer I cannot take this matter lightly or with any sense of humor. Sorry! I will get off my soapbox, now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-26811654657411130842010-08-27T14:28:33.233-04:002010-08-27T14:28:33.233-04:00Perhaps is it just industry tripe, but I was made ...Perhaps is it just industry tripe, but I was made to understand, tanning booths have less of the harmful rays than natural sun. Perhaps, the rise in skin cancer could be attributed to an increase in the Sun's output in recent decades? Or the increase in bikinis. :-) Maybe you and Suzan can prohibit Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikinis. lolJoe Bubelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206625896778602035noreply@blogger.com
