De Beers: A Diamond is Forever

"With every waking moment, love grows."

Featuring the remake of Cat Stevens' "How Can I Tell You?" by Cat Power's Chan Marshall.

Why advertise the firm when one controls ~70% of the world's diamond supply?

They're the ones who incorporated this idea in our minds post depression that you GOTTA have an engagement ring with a diamond in it! to properly show the love!

@Supermassively they were civilized too just in a diffrent aspect the renaissance age in europe is what civilized europeans africa and other countries where never a part of that except some asian countries although many europeans went to learn from african scholars and historians then the slave trade war famine and drought is what screwed them up the introduction of diamonds oil gold guns is what ruined them

@chickenmaster66 We all started out in the same conditions. Some of us became civilized. They didn't. If they refuse to become part of the modern world, then screw them.

[Supermassively]

@Supermassively

uff you are too boring.

@rukiyefr No, I'm not a slave because I don't live in some third-world shithole where my people have refused to come into the 21st century. Closest thing to slavery in the West is being on welfare, and I wouldn't do that if my life depended on it.
