bloody rocks

I just don't understand what would compel someone to want a diamond....for ANY occasion. Honestly, with the money that DeBeers makes off one of their crummy one karats they could probably feed 1000 of their African workers (slaves?) for a day. I think that along with every diamond engagement ring there should come one African child. That's a package deal that would make you think twice.
P.S: I cannot express to you how depressing it is to learn about the diamond industry at 8 in the morning.
If I was going to marry someone, I could only pray they would know me well enough to NOT get me a diamond. They wouldn't even have to get me a ring if they didn't want to. If they had any sense, they would do as the penguins do and go searching for the best pebble they could find. It could be on a beach or sitting by the side of a road. They'd know it was the best one for me when they found it. THAT would make me want to mate with someone for life.
