    Ever bought a Diamond? Heres how the diamond companies fucked ya ; )

    this is pretty general knowledge for most people....but "PBS Frontline" explains it in great detail from the beginning through the 2nd world war...to the major finds in africa, russia & finally australia.

      I bought a nice diamond necklace for my girlfriend 5-6 years ago and she's had it on ONE single time. I'm never doing that again. If I ever again decide to waste 8000 dollars on something like that I might aswell give the money to a homeless and tell him to watch over them while I'm gone.

        I've been hip to the diamond trade for many years now. Never bought one, never will.

                Some stars are wearing them but not telling. The ones that are telling probably drive a Prius.

                  I decided a long time ago never to buy a diamond. It's interesting how well known the whole "scam" is and yet the trade continues unaffected.

                        Isn't it a bit like when the canadians were killing (baby?) seals so rich womén can wear them? -Everyone knows what's going on yet we (best known as the generations who don't care about anything) just do nothing.

                        The easiest way to stop it would be to not buy it.

                                  Yeah it is, but not much you can do about it, except maybe raise awareness. You'd think that whoever is "rich" enough to buy decent quality diamonds would have enough brains to see through it and not buy it. I guess ignorance is bliss....

                                    Synthetic diamonds are just as good and cost a fraction of real diamonds.

                                                  my wedding band has a single 3/4 carat diamond, and my wifs has a 1.5 and then another 1.5 in small stones.

                                                  Everything has a price.

                                                          everyone is better off buying their ho $5000 worth of platinum or gold

                                                          i mean that is what your doing when you buy them a diamond right? putting a down payment on their vagina & mouth (an extended lease)

                                                          might as well buy them something thats worth something in 10 years

                                                              I watched "Blood Diamond" with my girlfriend and she never, ever, wants me to buy her a real diamond.

                                                              I'll probably buy a cubic zirconia or synthetic diamond.

                                                                            One thing to think about is the fact the whole idea about "blood diamonds" could be a scam by De Beers. Sure there is of course fighting and dieing going on in Africa but it's not because of diamonds. Diamonds are just a way they pay for stuff because they have artificial worth. If there was no artificial worth there would be no blood diamond.

                                                                            However think of whole movement behind not buying blood diamonds.. They want you to make sure your diamonds are certified ect..ect. Well who does buying certified diamond benefit? The ones that control them of course. Who controls them? De Beers..

                                                                            What better way to keep the prices up and the idea that they are rare than to imply people die for them and you must make sure the diamonds you buy have no blood on them.

                                                                            Think about it..it's all about controlling the market.
                                                                            In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

Just one bullet to the back of the head would probably do it without looking so horrible in the eyes of the rest of the world. I guess margins must be pretty slim on those seal skins if they can't factor in the price of a Ruger and a box of bullets to their budget.

                                                                                To be honest, I bet they just get a kick out of beating something to death.

                                                                                                  i mean that is what your doing when you buy them a diamond right? putting a down payment on their vagina & mouth (an extended lease)

                                                                                                  might as well buy them something thats worth something in 10 years

                                                                                                  maybe the puertorican girls know this already
