Boston to start offering free sunscreen from dispensers around the city

[skye]

It's all very well making a big deal about issues such as this, but Hussein Obama would be well advised to devote his last year in power to more important subjects such as fighting militant Islam and making certain that Iran never gets the bomb.


It's all smoke and mirrors and stupidity with this sick Administration.

How does donated sun screen have anything to do with Oblama?

Everything has to do with that moron.

Lord ..I hate him.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

You can pick up a bottle of sunscreen at Walmart for about $6.00 dollars probably cheaper at a dollar store. Can people really not manage this on their own?

In a leftist mecca nobody can manage anything on their own. The government must make all their decisions for them.

It's a great idea. Most people don't carry sunscreen with them. It's a cheap way to help prevent skin cancer; which will save money in the long run on medical costs.

But the of course the right-wing loons are crying about it. Oh how they love their fellow man.

Well..it is $6 a tube.

Good idea some places also have free poop bags available when walking your dog.

Obviously these people are the Anti-Christ.

nothing like a NANNY government

soon they'll be offering to wipe your ass. of course they will tell you it has to be with ONE SHEET of toilet paper.

they must have all kinds of magic money trees growing around that city. JUST WOW

Ever heard of public toilets, the government already provides toilet paper, and plastic bags for doggie waste, so what's the issue with sunscreen?

there seems to be a difference between taking a shit and pissing compared to fucking sunscreen...maybe its just me....

Germany charges for people to use public toilets. It is all giving people stuff or ammenties through public funding - which in turn has to be paid for by taxpayers/ratepayers.

I applaud Boston for being proactive in fighting global warming.

Sounds like a great idea. It will hopefully prevent sunburn and ultimately some forms of skin cancer.

I'm sure there is a downside to this someone will think up.

It's not free

just another feel good move that will fuck over small business that sells sunscreen for an evul profit

"The dispensers cost between $100 and $200, O’Malley says, so the ultimate price tag could be close to $50,000 — but not to the taxpayers. The dispensers are a public-private partnership including the Melanoma Foundation of New England and Make Big Change, both organizations that fight skin cancer. The foundation is covering the cost of the dispensers, according to a press release, and Making Big Change provides the dispenser units; it has also been placing them in New Hampshire beaches and parks."

Stop arguing.

That's the dispensers - are they providing the sunscreen too?

 

[Zander]

Liberals believe that anything you can do, the "state" can do better........and it's for your own good!!

Boston wants to infantilize its people. Boston isn't more in need of sunscreen than say Phoenix or Las Vegas.

Nope. But Boston taxpayers will. If they don't want to, they can decide next election. Pretty simple. Stop whining.

Right. Boston doesn't get sunshine.

Because profit trumps health care

Downside's the only people likely to get skin cancer from UV are the out-of-work ones meandering around from 10-5pm. Everyone with a job is indoors during those times.

UV maxes between 11am and 4pm. By 5pm it's lwoer than it was at 10am. And by 6pm it's neglible. Use a site that monitors local UV every summer for knowing when it's safe to go out and swim wiuthout worrying about having to use sunblock. Don't like the idea of rubbing something onto my skin, some of which gets absorbed through my pores and into my bloodstream, that I shouldn't put in my mouth. Like the humorous commercials from "Robocop" where the woman applies the thick goupy blue sunblock for just a few minutes protection then the disclaimer says like, "Absolutely causes cancer." Who knows what our modern sunscreens are doing decades down the road.

All they need to do is get a sunscreen sponsor (free pr!), no cost to taxpayer.

Then I don't see any issue with it.

Of course, ultimately the cost could be passed on to consumers by the sponsoring company raising the price of their sunscreen and someone could argue that side of it. However, it might be a wasted argument since the company can recover the costs through charitable tax breaks.
