What the fuck is it with New Jersey and tanning?

Sick fucking bitch...

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people from New Jersey? It's the fucking armpit of America. Yeah, a certain amount of it came from that goddamn Jersey Shore shitfest, but having met several grating, loud, obnoxious asswipes from the state, it's not just the 'reality' show.

Fucking nuke that dump from orbit.

I blame television!

It ain't just Jersey. Look at the morons in Southern CA, too.

Link?

It's dumb no matter where it happens.

New Jersey: Breeding ground for Oompa Loompas.

Can someone explain to me why a withered old piece of shoe leather is an attractive look?

Seriously... there is something wrong with some people.

It's been a while since you've been here. Except for bikers and old surfers, pale is the new tan.

As for Joisey, the climate sucks most of the time, so some people go nuts with tanning booths. There's also an interesting overlap between obsessive tanners and smokers. You'll often hear the line "Hey, everybody's gotta die of something, right?"

These are the people who develop slow, expensive cancers and drag down the healthcare system.

Looking at the picture with the article, I think it's safe to say she won't ever get attacked 'for Trayvon'.


Also: Tanning booths and Florida. What gives?

And you are the sort of person who insists they not be denied medical treatment when they can't pay. You don't get to bitch about their behavior when you actively shield them from the consequences.

Typical Binarythink.

So what's this magical third alternative that neither interferes with a person's right to destroy their health, nor gives anyone something for nothing?

See if you can think of something. Take your time.

I have thought of something. You're just pretending the option of denying them free medical care doesn't exist.

Garamet is shitting up every thread we have right now.

Anybody know when her afternoon meds kick in?

You need a link to southern California?!

How does that woman not have cancer of the everything already?

Because the otters haven't attacked her yet.

Two extremes, actually. You apparently can't think of anything in between. Not surprising.

There is no way around the fact that guaranteeing medical treatment will be offering something for nothing. I'm perfectly capable of imagining options that do give people the shit they need for free, but I don't consider it a worthwhile pursuit.

So all you're talking about is your second option: free stuff. Still can't come up with a third. Oh, well.

Quit being cute. You either allow for the possibility of "free stuff," or you accept letting people die. Your refusal to face reality when it's not couched in terms that make you feel better about it is not my problem.

Weaseling out of it with some vague bullshit about how they might recover and become productive citizens who pay it back somehow is not going to cut it.

Whatsa matter, don't like the competition?

That's all you've got. Stop dictating to everyone else.

That's all anyone has got. There is no way any of you can offer an alternative that can't be reduced to one of those two. Can't be done. All you can do is pile on the excuses and rationalizations while expecting me to ignore certain inconvenient details.

Hey Albert, how about this:

garamet can pay for whatever medical treatments this woman needs, for FREE, because of her chronic tanning. Problem solved, and no one's rights are violated!

Sorry, neither.

Prove it. Let's hear your magic solution where nobody is denied medical care, but nobody receives anything for free, either.

Moved the goalposts, you have.

When Binarythink doesn't work, you resort to absolutes.

Next you'll just knock over the board and stalk off. May as well do that now. Then Jenee can come along and tell me to stop picking on you.

Nope. That's been my position since forever.

Blah blah blah. Still waiting on that magic solution.
