Hmm, I read this equation somewhere on the Internet:

Arizona Sun + Summer = Death

Your take on it, ese....hehe, see how I used the word I still don't understand without looking stupid while doing so.

sunlight nourishes the body. too much is dangerous. everything in moderation.

You're right, dude. You totally didn't look stupid saying that word. Do it more often, please.

Here's me with the worst case of sunburn I've ever experienced:

I'd say it depends on your genetic heritage. Just to add my 2 cents.

For me, the sun is a bad thing. Others can tolerate it well. I don't. It gives me skin cancer. And, while it's true that a good tan makes everyone look better, is death worth it?

And for those that do tolerate it well, but look like footballs...well, that's just sad.

So, I'll echo the moderation point.

So what do you think? Should people try to avoid the sun at all costs? Should they enjoy the sun in moderation but be careful not to overexpose themselves? Or should people not worry too much about harmful effects from the sun at all?

I think it is like everything else.. and as Ya Krunk'd Floo said moderation is the key.. of course to much sun is unhealthy... but to much of pretty much everything is bad for you.

You need sunlight for various reasons--eg, production of vitamin D--but a tan isn't one of them. "Healthy tan" is an oxymoron: tanned skin = damaged skin, even moderately, but moderation's saving grace is that it minimizes the potential danger, such that most of us can get away with it.

Hehe....you look like an Indian...hehe....the ones the US Americans slaughtered, not the ones the Brits did.

You mean like Hiawatha? Yeah, I guess there is some resemblance. Although, I don't think the H-man ever f*cked a rotten elephant's carcass. Eh, neither did I.

Did you? Why? Would you do it again?

No. 42. Hell yes. What were we talking about again?

About that time you dressed up as a sailor, and went round all the toy shops stuffing animals. Stuffing toy animals. In toy shops. What was it with again? My memory has begun to fade like a rainbow's touch as the fantasy of the ether is dispelled by the reality of the Earth's foundation...

Hmm...I don't remember that, must've been drunk.....or french....or both....but I assume I stuffed them with...some sort of stuffing.....hmm...most likely.....Rainbows have colours in them.

Yeah, you got it. It was that time you were French. You were also high on a bunch of goof-balls that you stole from that Tabac that you hated because the proprietors were always going on about shit trees. I can't recall exactly what it was you were stuffing them with but, like you said, it was some sort of 'stuffing'. Then, the dark clouds came, and the world blew-up.

Oh yeah, I seem to remember now....fun times, I must say....I'm still mad that they un-frenched me...but I guess I deserved it...that little duck-stone-cell-phone incident...well...you know.
The Dark Clouds..a horrible time....couldn't really go sunbathing back then....shame.

The sun is good for you. At least 20 mins a day helps with depression, I've read...........Dangerous??....It depends on how much pigment your skin has I think......I rarely get burned.....But I'm light olive complected.

My opinion on the sun is...If it weren't for the fact that it was necessary for life to survive and the Earth to rotate and all that sh*t...the sun should die!!

Winter rulz! happybday

Its dangerous... I had a teacher say he used to sun bath all the time when he was a teen and in his 20s, but later was told he is at risk of getting skin cancer.

Yes, it does.

Humans need vitamen D witch we get from the sun. Sitting in it all day because we think burning our skin cells makes up look better is bad.
