They should try spending some time outside! Seriously, it's only May and i'm probably the darkest person i've seen this year so far. Tennis, rollerblading, swimming, etc.

Yeeeaaahhh... okay, for those of you who spend very little time outside, and/or have never seen or been seen by a member of the opposite sex without any clothes on, let me explain this in simple terms:
The purpose of a tanning bed is to get an EVEN TAN. You know, like the same colour everywhere? A lot of people think that tan lines don't look great and that having a brown face and white chest looks downright silly. If you disagree, that's your call, but it's a style thing and some people are just more picky. And unless you're a nudist, no matter how much effort you put into "sun-tanning", you're going to miss at least a *few* spots. So for everyone saying "JUST GO OUTSIDE!" That's great, but it only tans the skin which you have exposed, and in the middle of winter it's going to fade no matter how much time you spend outside.
Yeah, it's true, tanning too much is dangerous, and people who overdo it often have sickeningly ugly skin, but this is really no different from doing it in direct sunlight, aside from the fact that it works a lot faster and doesn't require you to put on greasy lotion. As Jeff so aptly put it, moderation is the key. If you go for just a couple of 10-minute sessions, you're not going to get skin cancer.
Please stop and think for half a second before you criticize - the government wants to institute this policy because "kids" often can't be depended on to do it responsibly, much like those "kids" are morons when it comes to alcohol or cigarettes. They're not doing it because they think that tanning beds are evil and dangerous and stupid. Frankly, I think that the proposed policy is idiotic, because I see just as many if not more people in their mid-20s who look like their skin is about to fall off. But hey, that's just one man's opinion - if you want to bash everyone who uses a tanning bed then go right ahead, but keep in mind that the group you're bashing involves a lot of hot babes who probably wouldn't be interested in a bunch of whiners.

banning tanning beds? we should just ban the sun...
Lets get a huge sun blocker just like Mr Burns had on the Simpsons.
All this government interference is making me dizzy...
