Figuere it out.10% tax on tanning
It's at least very anti-Situation.
Why teach a man to fish when you can just give him a Lone Star card and directions to HEB?
All Wal-Mart People leave the store now.
tanning will cost more?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The government cares about your body when you tan but could careless if you scrap a baby out of one. Crazy.
A lot of ry in that photo.
I'm not joking.
White people are the ones that go to tanning salons. In particular white women.
Furthermore, there are health benefits of tanning. It protects from ultraviolet radiont. It gives the body vitamin d. Tanning is a much safer way of getting this health benefits than direct sunlight.
This part of the bill directly penalizes something that white people do, and pretty much only white people, for various heatlh reasons both psychological and physical.
Not only is it dicrimantory, it possibly will lead to worse health which can in turrn lead to more insurance claims. So it's irresponsible.
Futhermore, while I realize the tanning industry is one of the most corrupt and heartless monopolies in the United States...is it really wise to be discouraging business which will in turn hurt employment, given our current economic climate?
While it make look rather arbitary and the various white forum member libs still have enough money in their wallets to laugh about it...
It is discriminatory, because it directly targets a certain racial demographic. It is irresponsible on a variety levels.
And a 10% tax is a hefty ing tax.
I want this part removed and replaced with something more arbitrary...say, a 10% tax on Tyler Perry comedies.
If poor and sickly people can't help they fact they are poor and sickly and impose their burden on those that aren't....how can white people be expected to help the fact they are sucptible to skin cancer and need extra protection from the suns rays?
do the health benefits outweigh the risks?
probably not.
But this is no surprise from you since you have been known to say smoking is good for you.
Link to me saying smoking is good for you? I said it does have some health benefits, I didn't say it was good for you.
If you have no genetic tendency to develop cancer but a heavy tendency to develop parkinsons or alzheimers...it actually could be good for you.
I also didn't say tanning is good for you, I said it has health benefits. Health benefits that white people tend to be more in need of than people with darker skin.
Very few things are simply, good for you.
It seems you, are missing the chromosome that allows you to differentiate between health benefits and good for you so I have an idea that may help with the break through. Let's you and I meet...it can even be at a face slapping bar if you like...
Every time I smoke a cigarette, you simply drink a glass of water. I think the general consensus is that smoking is bad for you and water is good for you...I mean tobacco makes up no part of the human body whereas water makes up 60% of it. In fact you could say we are water and it wouldn't be a totally inaccurate statement.
But anyway, let's you and I meet, every time I smoke a cigarette, you drink a glass of water, and whoever goes to the hospital first loses the contest but gains a better understanding of the difference between health benefits, and good for you. I call it a win win...it'll be good for you.
I'll make a side bet of a years health insurance you wind up in the hospital first![]()
I think this provision is known as the Boehner Tax
![]()
That's right. You simply argued the out of how it "can" be good for you.
right before you went Godwin's Law.
No thanks. I don't like my face slapped any more than I like second hand smoke blown in my face.I also didn't say tanning is good for you, I said it has health benefits. Health benefits that white people tend to be more in need of than people with darker skin.

Just make it simple:
True or false: health benefits are good for you.
Since you don't like to pay for health insurance, and I have a good cheap plan already, that bet is meaningless.Every time I smoke a cigarette, you simply drink a glass of water.

Had it been worth something, my glass of water would have contained one drop.
Obviously arguing semantics and smoking siggies helps you sleep at night. Yay for you![]()
According to whottt, Boehner possibly got some health benefits from tanning. It might protect him from ultraviolet radiation. It possibly gave his body vitamin d.
According to whottt, tanning is a much safer way of getting these health benefits than direct sunlight.
But make no mistake, whottt does not say that tanning is good for you. He is simply saying that the health care reform is racist.
Did I get that right?
Exactly right. You might be beginning to get it.
Kinda like having maggots in your body, CAN, be good for you. Does have some health benefits.
I'll sit in my car with the widows rolled up. I'll even smoke a joint while I am smoking the cigarette, and you can simply drink water.No thanks. I don't like my face slapped any more than I like second hand smoke blown in my face.
Every breath I take, I will be inhanhaling smoke, first, second hand, you name it. Just the lesser of those acts, second hand smoke leaves you trembling in your boots wanting smoking to be outlawed. You want absolutely no part of it, I will be totally submerged in it.
Meanwhile, you will be doing something absoutely essential to life, not stigmatized in anyway and totally legal to do just about anywhere.
Not only will I win that contest, in at most 5 hours, if you continue until you are no longer capable o fit, you will be hospitalized almost certainly with some form of limited brain damage, more than likely fighting for your life.
I will simply get out of the car, and light up another cigarette.
That's a stupid true or false question...because it's not a true or false queston. Truse false questions are of absolutes, and neither that question, nor it's answer are an absolute.Just make it simple:
True or false: health benefits are good for you.
It's like me asking you:
True or false: How many stars are in the sky.
Ironically enough, the last times I've discussed this is because you brought up. It's not something I spend a lot of time thinking about...I've already thought it you see.Since you don't like to pay for health insurance, and I have a good cheap plan already, that bet is meaningless.
Had it been worth something, my glass of water would have contained one drop.

No, it doesn't at all. Tanning beds use lamps that give off UV light just like the Sun does, only a much higher concentration. A body tanning is its' reaction to UV rays, there's no way to get a tan without exposure to UV rays. Tanning salons are not in any way whatsoever supposed to be a safe tanning subs ute to sunlight, they're supposed to be a tanning source more powerful than the Sun is that can give you a tan quicker than the Suns does.
No, it really can't. Tanning beds increase your risk for cancer a lot more than the Sun does. Please find a credible source that tanning beds produce any health benefits whatsoever.
Considering the International Agency for Research on Cancer has tanning beds in the highest cancer risk category, "carcinogenic to humans," I'd love to hear how people susceptible to skin cancer benefit from tanning beds.

God only knows where you got the idea tanning lamps don't emit any UV rays, but I'm impressed how you are able to continuously out do the last extremely re ed thing you said.
It's like how health care reform CAN be good for you. Does have some health benefits.
I assume you meant an 8oz glass, but since you never stipulated the amount of water in my glass, I would win based on my one drop glass.I'll sit in my car with the widows rolled up. I'll even smoke a joint while I am smoking the cigarette, and you can simply drink water.
Every breath I take, I will be inhanhaling smoke, first, second hand, you name it. Just the lesser of those acts, second hand smoke leaves you trembling in your boots wanting smoking to be outlawed. You want absolutely no part of it, I will be totally submerged in it.

Let's flip the bet though. How about you go without water and I go without cigarettes and let's see who goes to the hospital first.
Water isn't straight up good for you according to whottt. It simply CAN be good for you.
I know. Asking if a health benefit is good for you can be a tricky question on a messageboard.That's a stupid true or false question...because it's not a true or false queston. Truse false questions are of absolutes, and neither that question, nor it's answer are an absolute.
It's like me asking you:
True or false: How many stars are in the sky.
One would hate for that question to come back and bite him in the ass because there is no distinct "true or false" or "yes or no". There is only "it depends on how I need it to fit into my argument."
good for you, dooshbag.Ironically enough, the last times I've discussed this is because you brought up. It's not something I spend a lot of time thinking about...I've already thought it you see.
stepping stone to taxing the sun's rays I tells ya
No surprise why you're a janitor at taco bell.
I'll do my best whottt impersonation here...
ready?
but UV rays CAN be good for you.
tanning beds CAN give you protection from those same UV rays that actually CAN be good for you.No, it really can't. Tanning beds increase your risk for cancer a lot more than the Sun does. Please find a credible source that tanning beds produce any health benefits whatsoever.
so why are you taxing the people that aren't susceptible to skin cancer?Considering the International Agency for Research on Cancer has tanning beds in the highest cancer risk category, "carcinogenic to humans," I'd love to hear how people susceptible to skin cancer benefit from tanning beds.

you fool!God only knows where you got the idea tanning lamps don't emit any UV rays, but I'm impressed how you are able to continuously out do the last extremely re ed thing you said.
I only said tanning beds CAN give you health benefits. And health benefits CAN be good for you.
The only thing re ed is your claim that I said tanning beds don't emit UV. Where did I say that?
Don't call me the re when you're the one claiming I said tanning beds don't emit UV radiation. I said tanning protects against UV rays. Which it does. Medical fact.
It's called limited exposure and is very similar to the concept behind just about every vaccine there is you idiot.
And of course I looked this up. I did it before I made the post. Here you go you stupid ing bag:

That explains the negatives as well as the positives and how the existing negatives can be turned into even greater positives.
You're welcome, re .
