Diamonds are really worthless....

[ChalksR4Kids]

As mentioned before, diamonds aren't rare. The reason they cost so much is that De beers controls the market and will do anything to keep it that way. If you must buy that special someone a gem, a ruby or emerald is a much better choice. As always, your results may vary.

What is wrong with a company limiting the amount of product they put out to manipulate demand? Is that what most companies do? Steak please stay out of my threads.

Of course diamonds are not worth what you pay for them.. The diamond industry is controlled by DeBeers. I once saw a program on 60 minutes and it showed how diamonds the Russian gov't has locked away. They literally have millions of these things locked away. DeBeers will pay whatever is necessary to avoid anyone flooding the market with diamonds. Diamonds are only rare because DeBeers keeps a tight control on who can buy them and how many they let out into the market.

I also think the Russians (or somebody) can make their own diamonds from scratch.

I think the diggers know how much they are worth. The diggers are heavily watched and are probably killed if they try and steal one. Those diggers are easily replaceable as they are probably payed pennies a day.

You are correct. All the civil war in Africa is to control the natural resources. Africa has everything from oil, copper and diamonds. However, companies like DeBeers and Royal Dutch Shell control so much of the land.

Shell is the reason there are so many problems in the Niger Delta. Everyone is so scared to go down there now as numerous murders and kidnappings continue to take place.

I try not to get my education from watching movies.

Movies might not be the best place to get educated - but it's a start on some topics (Hotel Rwanda)

With that being said you have to be either the last, or possibly 2nd last adult in the world to only now find out that diamonds are a price controlled monopoly of over valued and essentially useless stones.

Next shocking lesson - what happens when you drive that new car off the lot.

[djmatt]

I haven't been away for a bit.. I subscribed to this thread.. really thought it had potential after I read the 'you still stalk your old high school girlfriend' then mixing it up with the 'you're gay, i date girls'

Since I'm pouring my heart out here, I should be honest and let it be known that the suspense of what will happen next is keeping me up right now
