kallend 2,151 #30 December 3, 2005 QuoteThere are many many sources on this topic, here are just a few. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Beers_Mining_Company http://www.ethicalmatters.co.uk/articles.asp?itemID=193&title=Consumer http://edwardjayepstein.com/diamond/prologue.htm So like I said in a previous post they are highly overrated, and I'd rather have a sapphire engagement ring than a diamond. Absolutely correct, diamonds have value primarily on account of the deBeers cartel. Emeralds are rarer than sapphires, too.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

The_Don 0 #31 December 3, 2005 QuoteDiamonds are highly overrated. I agree .. Just like gold. You can't eat it , it doesn't smell good , you can't stay warm with it . & the only way you can have sex with it is if you give it to someone who likes it ALOT !!I am NOT being loud.

skydiver30960 0 #34 December 3, 2005 Did you know that diamonds AREN'T forever? Actually, diamonds are formed at temperatures and pressures way above room T and P. Though they may be thermodynamically stable in the environment where they're formed, they're actually thermodynamically unstable at room T and P. So, they're going to break down. Kinetically, it'll take AGES for them to break back down to graphite, but it'll happen. Hey Diamante, you reading this thread?

ryoder 1,590 #36 December 3, 2005 And there are now two different companies beginning to produce man-made diamonds using two different processes. The only way to distinguish them from natural diamonds is to look for flaws. It is the natural diamonds that are flawed! http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/11.09/diamond.html"There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

sioux 0 #41 December 3, 2005 Reminds me of a joke... Little Amy goes to her first day at school. When she comes home her mommy asks "What did you learn today at school, Amy?" Amy replies, "umm, well, I, uh , kinda, learned, where babies come from." Mommy: "Oh? That's interesting. Why don't you tell me?" Amy (very shy): "Uh, well, first, um, the mommy and the daddy, they start kissing. Then, well, um, they, uh take their clothes off. Then... um, the daddy's thingie... well, it kinda stands up. Then, um, the mommy? She puts it in her mouth, and it, well kinda explodes. That's how you get babies." Mommy: "Oh, honey, that's sweet. But that's not how you get babies. That's how you get jewelry!" I haven't seen such convoluted lines of conversation and such expert chronicling thereof since my days of all day bong marathons in college. ~ Lindercles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallingOsh 0 #45 December 5, 2005 Whether they're rare in nature or not is kind of a moot point if they're all locked up and under a controlled release. If there aren't many well cut, hand polished diamonds available for purchase then they're rare to the general (poor ass like me) population. Paper isn't rare but that doesn't make money less valuable. You can be pissed at the debeer cartel, but if I had the opportunity to corner the diamond (or emerald) market, I would.... for blowjobs. And the girlfriend is traditional and wants a diamond in the engagement ring. She doesn't care how big or fancy (which is how she ended up with me) but I too will be contributing to the debeer's fotune. eventually. -------------------------------------------------- Stay positive and love your life.

Actually you can still buy a diamond and thumb your nose at debeer. Buy from a pawn shop, many women pawn the damn things when marriage/engagements fail, because "Forever my Ass".
