it's funny because now diamond companies are telling people it's the flaws in natural diamonds that make them valuable

and yet they still want you to get an internally flawless diamond, or as close to it as you can, because if you don't get your GF the perfect diamond you obviously dont love her :cool:

who are these artificial diamond manufacturers? I will support them with my bleeding heart dollars

Apollo Diamonds (http://www.apollodiamond.com/) and Gemesis ([url]http://www.gemesis.com/[/url)

right now Apollo diamonds cost as much as the real ones and Gemesis only does colored fancies, and i consider them both pussies because they make micro-inscriptions on their diamonds that state they're made by man

this was done in response to the bhopal disaster

The Yes Men are pretty great, and they always seem to get past the news whenever they feel to insert themselves into an important event. They seem like the only people able to pull something like this off without shouting 'Baba Booey' at the end.

as much as i dislike de beers i always thought people who got uppity over blood diamonds were a little retarded because i assumed most companies have done really, really terrible things, and this thread just proved me right

de beers still sucks though

no, actually

there's absolutely nothing wrong with getting "uppity" over blood diamonds

so you're wrong

no what im saying is people pick blood diamonds as their 'issue of the day' but ignore the fact that lots of other products they use have dark histories of their own, its awful what happens to produce diamonds but it's hypocritical of people to rail against blood diamonds while marching around in sweatshop clothing or chugging their bayer aids aspirin

uppity was the wrong word

still i'd like to see those synthetic companies start churning out some diamond chips, who needs a giant engagement ring when you finally have a processor that can run crysis as it was meant to be played

what do pigs smell like? i would love to have a pet pig one day

pigs actually smell pretty clean, they get the stink reputation because they dont sweat and so they roll in mud to cool themselves off. pigs are pretty decent animals all around, i'd love a pet pig because they own so hard.
