Tanning

So what's with all the idiots lying out tanning or going to tanning salon.  How  can these salons even stay in business? I mean we know that excessive exposure to UV rays can lead to skin cancers and it ages the skin prematurely.  You would think those coffin like machines would have big monster Surgeon General warnings on em, "Lie here and soak in your doom!"  Yet everywhere ya look, when the sun is out, there are idiots wearing as little clothing as legally possible, soaking it all in.  If you were to break out a smoke on a public beach all these sun bathers would get up in arms about your cancer causing disgusting habit.  How dare you pollute their air.   Smokers at least have the excuse of addiction.  Though people who have never smoked don't really understand this.  They think they do.  They say,"Just quit.  Why don't you quit?.  I can't believe you don' quit."  They think that nicotine withdrawal is like going the morning without your coffee.  Any avid anti - smoker who has never smoked and gives a smoker a hard time ought to be give a couple hits of smack and a kick in the genitals for good measure.  Let that withdrawal teach em a lesson.  Give em a whole new perspective on things.  The kicking part would just make me feel better.  It is probably not very theraputic.  Quitting smoking was probably the hardest thing I ever did.  I still can't go into a bar.  The physical and psychological hold that stuff has over yas is too tremendous to describe.
 
So anyway I hit a bit of a tangent there.  Tanning is just plain idiotic.  I mean I look at a woman now, and if she is all tan then I'm not even attracted.  I understand if occasionally someone gets a bit of sun here or there.  Our bodies actually need a bit.  It's that laying out to bake thing that is just plain wrong.  Become a wrinkled wonder long before your time and hey risk a major freaking disease.  What really gets me is when teenagers do it and their parents are ok with that.  "Have fun kids.  Be in before the sun goes down," says mom as she pours her afternoon highball.  Having a Goth kid is better.  The kid has a chance of growing out of it, is more likely to read and do well in school, and may or may not have a morbid fascination with death.  Kids commit suicide for so many stupid reasons anyways just keep an eye on your Goth kid and they will probably turn out all right, and they will have beautiful skin when they get older.
 
In summary Goth is not the worst thing that can happen to your teenager.  Tanning is dumb.  Join the smack for rabid anti - smokers, who have never smoked, crusade.
