I was trying to be sarcastic about the ozone layer, guys. I couldn't care less! I just enjoy chillin out by the pool and trying to balance the farmer's tan with a proper tan.
If you plan on spending long times exposed to the sun then you should protect yourself, you're daft if you don't. Especially if there is a history of skin cancer in the family.
20 - 30 years ago dad said you could spend all day in the sun and barely get burnt, now you spend 15 - 20mins in the sun and your burnt.
Big difference. i dont know what the sun is like in other places but here in Australia Queensland its very nasty. You just cant spend any more than 20 - 30mins in the sun without sunblock, if you do you WILL be burnt.

A couple off years ago I asked an African if could get burned if he stays in the sun too long. He said "YES" and he also said that it hurts eventhough you can't see he's burned.

Whatever, it's still just a chance that I could get it. There is no way in hell I am digging holes wears a long sleeve shirt and a big hat, it's just way to hot out there. I'll take my chances.
Also I would like to know where this statistic came from since it isn't cited:
SAWNET
...is probably the reason that dark skinned people have a tenth of the skin cancer rate of fairer folks.
I might be missing something though, but this contradicts a lot of what has been told to people over the years. I'm not doubting it I would just like to see where it came from.
why would you do that if i can ask? your bones need the sun... VITAMINS!!!
anyhow, back to topic, i'm not really the tanning kinda person, but my girl friend thinks that i tan would suit me so well ya... guilty... went tanning the past 2 days. but thing is ... over here you get even now in Feb a burn very very easily
I just don't like being tan, and getting a tan would require me to go outside or to the beach, both places where I hate being. The beach is boring, and just ends up making me feel sandy and uncomfortable. Being Florida, it is hot all the time, so I like to spend my time inside where I can be nice and cool.
I'm not anti-tan, but why mention the other two. Yes I am not too fond of gay people, nor do I like hippies, but what does that have to do with this conversation. I am entitled to my opinion.
During summer time, it's better to stay in the shade. You tan easier and you won't burn. Sun light is necessary but don't overdo it. *Trop* is too much, like they say.
