  • Why is it that people on youtube always make comments suggesting that white people are the only ones in search of riches and power. In Sierra Leone's case it was black people committing atrocities against other black people at the say so of power and money hungry black leaders. Whites may have made the final purchase of the diamonds but there are plenty of greedy black people involved in the business too!

  • its only taken hollywood and the media 6yrs to wake up to sierra leone.

    it took the uk labour government to finally do something and send troops to sierra leone in 2000.

    the UN didnt do muchgod knows how may UN troops were killed by the RUF,read escape from sierra leone by major hal ashby

  • WHO CARES?! DONT LIKE IT? DONT BUY DIAMONDS!

  • Some canadian cops = 0 integrity, they go behind target citizens' back and spread false rumors to settle personal scores .Lie, that you are a prostitute. Some Canadians are gullible, believe any crap that self serving ego maniac cops tell them and start harassing an innocent person. Justice style in Canada is hallway, water-cooler decision making process. Some courts look for ways to help cop prove their case. The premise - cops are right, citizen is wrong until proven otherwise, in practice.

  • look for the polar bear on your diamonds! those are ones from Canada, mined equitably, no limbs attatched.

  • Poor Ed, you're still missing the point; ALL DIAMONDS ARE BLOOD DIAMONDS...DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT DEBEERS, OR ANY WHITE PERSON IN SEARCH OF RICHES AND POWER, ASKED NICELY TO BE ALLOWED TO EXPLOIT AFRICA'S RICHES? I don't think so...

  • now wait up- there are diamonds that come from reputable sources, ones that don't fuel internal conflict like the ones from Sierra Leone

    Even though I don't think jewelry is really all too special anyway.

  • not intense enough. i don't exactly feel anything...

  • I don't really think it's funny to joke about it when kids are getting their limbs removed and women are being raped so that trophy wives can have their diamonds.

  • He is, but batesm already pulled the trick already, so geybv's comment loses its value anyway ;p
