running around naked is indecent exposour, but with low risers your still covered. If america is supposed to be home of the free then why are they trying to limit how we can express ourselves through our clothes and why are they trying to limit what we can wear.  |

in a way yes and in a way no misty spirit. I think they should let people under 18 use the tanning bed ONLY if they have parental permission otherwise they cant use it. But banning it all together is a little over board i think. |

I have to agree with the law about tanning beds. They are dangerous. As for low-riser jeans, I really don't care for them but trying to outlaw fashion, even bad fashion is nonsense. As long as the usual body parts are covered, I don't see how they really can outlaw a clothing style. There is already a law on the books if people don't wear enough clothing, it's called indecent exposure. There is no law against bad style sense.  |

I heard from my chemistry teech that if you use a tanning bed too much, when you get old your skin gets all rubbery and hangs loose. but it should still be your choice on whether you want to use a tanning bed or not, not the government's. the low-rise pants law is just ridiculous, and I also don't like the way they tell you how fast you can drive your car. they should have an autobahn like in europe.  |

If teenagers with tans and low-rise pants are the biggest issues of our nation, then what the heck are murderers, kidnappers, and the war in Iraq? Trivial matters which tans and low-rise pants take priority over? This nation needs to get its affairs in order. It's ridiculous.  |

Sandy Dunes, if you don't like tanning beds, don't use them. Simple. There are plenty of people who don't like them, but there are plenty of people who DO. As for low-rise pants...I love them, I don't wear any other pants, and even if they outlaw real low-risers, girls will still push their regular pants down around their hips. So they are willing to outlaw pants that go a little low, but they won't outlaw plunging necklines and pants/shorts that have girls thongs hanging out left and right? |

if they can put an age limit on cigarettes, then they can put one on tanning beds. Melanoma is as serious a problem as lung cancer-- likely to become an even greater problem. And the UV exposure that you receive as a kid has much more detrimental effects than later on in life.  |

And soon enough we will all be told when to DO what and WHERE we can. Personally I'm tired of that. Everyone wants to live and everyone will die. Of what and when is becoming too politically correct. Are you too fat or skinny? Simply let the government decide how much is too much and let Joe Blow the taxpayer pay for it. I think some people think too much and most probably do nothing. |

My point is there are more important issues to be dealt with. What, they're gonna pay law enforcement agents to go around fining girls who wear certain pants? What about guys who sag their pants and expose billowy boxers? How about the taxpayers money goes to something more worthy of it...like actualy CRIME PREVENTION. We don't need local law enforcement to turn into the fashion police. Leave that to Joan Rivers. |

And when we let government continue to make all our descisions and dress us, prep us, and feed us, and decide what we should eat, perhaps we should also just hand over the other one half of our paycheck and let "them" decide how and wher we should spend what little is left over. Can I have a Big Mac today or not? Only if my betters think it be so... NOT! |

My point is also that I may not want to pay healthcare costs for Obesity, smoking addiction, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, fashion addiction, whatever, but I would before I would accept a government taking away the next rights that may well be my own. I would personally absorb the cost of over eating, or over indulging before I would allow anyone to take that right away. Even if I did INDULGE. |

Low-rise jeans are AWFUL!!!! I see so many young ppl wearing them (I'm 18 myself) and I find it appalling. I think the government has every right to make a law banning that. As for the tanning beds, maybe b/c some teens use them so often they end up with skin cancer. I heard about a few cases when that happened. Can't think of any other reason why they would ban that.  |

I think that the tanning bed after 18 would actually be a good idea, since skin cancer later in life is usually caused by sun exposure in your teenage years. As far as the low-rise pants goes... that's a little ridiculous. Who cares what people wear so long as there is no indecent exposure?  |

JarJar if you dont like them no one is forcing you to wear them! But if people want to wear them that should be their own personal choice not the governments, whats next? Telling us how we can die our hair, telling us what nailpolish we can and cant wear, or fining anyone under 18 who wears eyeshadow? Its redicioulous(sp) |

Just as you can't prevent a teenager from stealing some of their parent's cigarettes, or having an older friend purchase cigarettes for them, you can't prevent teenagers from sunning themselves outside, but you can certainly prevent someone else from legally profitting by selling them an extremely detremental service. In this country people do not have full rights in making decisions for themselves until they have reached an age where they are considered mature enough to do so, and I think that's how it should be. |

I think the tanning bed law is a good idea. I'm not particularly against the low rise jeans one either; I just doubt it would actually get through the legislature. Thinking back to a Children of the Corn quote [COTC 3: Urban Harvest] "Modest dress is the surest way to a pious life".  |

If this really is a free country, then a community should have the right to pass a clothing decency law. Most of us consider an individuals right, but what about a communities rights? A community can pass laws that make people mow their lawns and maintain their property, why can't they pass a law on proper attire? The tanning bed issue deals with the potential for skin cancer. Until it is proven to be risk free, I can see why they would want you to be of the age of consent before you can expose yourself to high doses of UV light.  |

How nice that we should not make any choices for ourselves, I just love giving tax dollars to government so they can decide how I should dress and what I can eat and if I can smoke. Somehow this reminds of a almost Nazi government. I really don't need someone who lives off my tax dollars telling me what is good for me, perhaps there is my issue. If you can't support yourself without my money, PLEASE don't tell me how to live. |

Anyone who is required to pay taxes in this country, USA, should also be allowed to have a voice. Every opinion is never popular. Kerry makes me sick with his no "death penalty even to murderers who kill kids BUT he is okay with abortion and Bush, well, we all know his double talk, but at least the man stands for something,Do the crime,pay the fine. Why does anyone want ONE person deciding WHAT they can wear, and when, and where? Do you need a clothing police, and if so, WHY? WHY? And A food police? I don't want to pay for over eaters, who gorge themselves, but gimme a break, where do we let society make SOME chioces for ourselves? And where does it become Big Government and WHY? Does clothing choices have to be monitored by Government and if so, WHY is it so important to the individual? Jeese! |

Like the song says, "I work hard for my money" and how I spend it should be my choice. I like tanning beds, and I make plenty of money to spend as I see fit. Why should, or why would, I need permission from someone who "gorges" themselves from my tax dollars tell me I can't tan? And what if I want to eat a little extra tonight? Perhaps I should stop all shopping because I love fashion and the "fashion police" decide even though I have the money, I shouldn't spend it on clothes unless "THEY" approve them first? Perhaps I just give up now and while away the hours on the beach, living on fish and stop paying 1/2 my earnings in taxes. |
