Don't get diamonds!!! If you end up with a blood diamond, how would you know?? You wouldn't! So don't get diamonds! You don't have to listen to me, yah, but I'm just telling you the truth about diamonds, because some people don't know this about diamonds. Sorry, but I feel really strongly about this subject, so guys on here, if you ever propose to a girl who wants diamonds... propose with something better. Yes, this is a corny rant, but a serious one!

I take it to Mar-chan, and she can tell me. Dragons adore diamonds.

Diamonds are cute and all... bleck, but it just makes me sick everytime I think about how someone could've gotten a diamond.

I wore a bloodring for most of my life... Past life, but still....

See? I didn't know what a blood diamond was before either! It's where a native of Africa was killed or hurt for the diamond that the white people stole from the Africans, and shipped over to the rich people elsewhere. Of course my sister told me this, but I know it's true... and no offense against white people, I'm grey myself.

0o How would anyone be able to tell? All I know about diamonds is that they are shiny and pretty and, most importantly, mine, and I can tell a real one from a fake one and if you try to give me a fake one I'll eat you. And then throw you up and kick you. And then (disgustingly) eat you again and then throw you up again and burn what's left. And then I'll take the fake diamond anyway. ^^

Well, you wouldn't be able to tell, and that's the whole point.

I have diamond earings. My grandma gave them to me last year for my birthday and I've worn them everyday and I love them ^^ *huggles* I would never give them up. I too, love shiny things. Not that I want to intrude on Amaranth's specialty...
But, anyway, back on subject, you wouldn't really be able to tell if it was a blood diamond. I just think it's kind of silly to worry about things like that. I am in no way trying to offend you Rowena, I swear! *hugs* That's just my personal opinion, no one has to agree with it. And, there are probably many other way that diamonds were aquired, not just that way. Do you know what the possibility of getting one is?

Meh, shiny's fine but sparkly's better. ^^
It is. Because you'd get too paranoid over it. Actually; you live in America. So really, you're living IN a blood diamond....or did those Native Americans just magically disappear? I seem to recall Trail of Tears, being used as pawns in fighting, double-crossed....So, compared to over all that, I'd just get over it and only buy diamonds from places that aren't Africa. ^^
