Diamonds are basically worthless...just $5 per karat because of the cut. Same goes for "priceless art". Who says so? Stupid rich people that's who.

In regards to your comment... please google the term, social inequality.... read about it... then google the term, africa and slavery.

This first will enlighten you to how economics plays a hand in the divide between the haves and have-nots... the second phrase will show how this divide gives rise to abuse.

Don't listen to CNN etc... do real research. Television = tell-lie-vision...

I used to work for a tv show so I know what i am talking about.

Dipshit. The white people are the ones supporting the rebels bloodshed. Cheap labor, nothing like human capital.

There is one thing that I don't understand? why do we have to feel bad and/or support the Africans? If they can't figure it out and organize themselves instead of just killing each other then why is it our problem? They have such valuable resources in their ground let'm have it or sell it to us and build themselves up on their own!

A black guy kills and savagely rapes other black people and somehow its the white peoples fault!

I've always been saying that there are no conflict free diamonds. I think the only excaption would be pink diamonds because they only come out of Australia.

We should not do no business with the state of Isreal,until they stop human right violation against the Palestinian. You are not standing up for human rights and the application of international law and respect for rule of law. This current administration is making a big mistake in dealing with the state of Isreal, when they continue to kill Palestinian. We dont need Isreal or any of the western government if they are failing to speak out against Isreal astrocities against the Palestinian.peace

NSO82...instead of judging our marines for fighting "a war we know nothing about," why dont you THANK THEM for protecting the freedoms you have, such as the freedom to make comments about a ware YOU know nothing about.

I thought this was about blood diamonds?

The necessary financing we need in order to organize lies in Africa's diamond trade. We must stop thinking that there will be a peaceful resolution to the racial dynamic that governs thought and action in this day and time. It's war. Choosing not to fight when you are attacked is not an option.

The blood diamonds are a complete reflection of the US. Conficts are started and abused for a rich few to profit out of it. The only way to stop that would be to stop america's and europe's problems, the source of 99% of conflict in the world.

futuremarineofficer:that is only an excuse u give. There are always alternatives to fix the diamond situation. You just have to think of them and get others to do the same. I also feel sorry for you if u want to be a marine cause u fight a war in which u know nothing about. Death to opposing soldiers to a war u know nothing about.
