clearly you're wearing down your skin if a callous forms...wear= damage.
clearly? how is making the skin thicker and tougher wearing it down?

you wear it down and the skin cells build back up thicker and tougher. eh? yes. now go away.
you aren't "wearing down" anything, genious. like the dude above said, keratin is reinforcing your skin cells.
now admit that you are wrong and quit trying to argue just because you dont like me

well, there is a giant billboard in my town that has him sitting on top of everest and the caption says "Climbed Everest: Blind"
its some kind of motivational christian billboard, but i doubt it would be there if it wasn't true

so stop being a stubborn slut, i'm right, you're wrong.
the skin wears down (dies) and builds back up even stronger.

where in there does it say "wear down?" ummmmm.... nowhere
just because it dies doesn't mean its being worn down assbandit, what the hell do you think makes fingernails grow? you don't say "damn, i need to cut my fingernails, they sure have worn down a lot!"
if your fingers were being worn down, you would start bleeding and your bone would come out.
now quit being a bitch. I'm right, and you are a whiny little fuck
