I'm glad a don't have you as my wife, you money grubbing skank.

What a suprise that a bitter asshole who couldn't save his marriage chimes in. I'll bet you but her a nice diamond. Did she keep it?

Not completely, but your initial comment gave me a pretty good insight into your existence.

Hahaha....wow.

Good to know you take the high road though. Seriously.

Ok, so, nevermind the fact that you came in, threw out a one line inflammatory remark and bailed.

Do us all a favor and explain to us why we would all make such HORRIBLE husbands.

You start out insulting all of us because we don't like the idea of someone being MASSACRED for your fashion statement, then respond in great maturity to what is, yes, a harsh comment.

The way I see it, we are all lucky NOT to be your husband.

At least read the whole thread before you call her a money grubbing skank... She said she wanted a synthetic diamond, her husband insisted as a real one. I don't really understand her comment though.

as a matter of fact, i dont think it did. I am not one to come back and battle with lowlifes that are bitter and angry at the world but i really feel the need to tell you that you, my friend, are the one that has the problem. Stop bitching at everone else because your life is bad. do something about it, instead of bitching.

As a matter of fact it did. Whether or not it was accurate depends entirely on how well you thought it out before posting it.

Lowlifes huh.

Well, at least if he gets banned you and iamwiz will be banned right along with him.

Lowlife, bitter asshole. I think those count as name calling too.

So you enjoy funding genocides and rape?
Depends. How much is this going to cost me and will I see annoying Sally Struthers commercials?

;)

No Sally Struthers has already been butchered and is fertilizing a banana tree...
bout time
If this were the case, she'd certainly be fertilizing more than one tree! :D

i would be happy with a peice of glass in some tinfoil for that matter.
I just said that i am glad you are not my husbands because you say crap like "i am never getting my wife a real diamond, if i ever get married, blah, blah, blah", when i bet you it would be different if the woman you fell in love with would be crushed if she didnt get a diamond upon proposal.
SOME say things without being in a situation that could possibly change their view.
I am not arguing anymore.
I am not offended that some said they are glad i am not their wives because it was in retort to my general comment.
I REFUSE TO BE CALLED a "money grubbing skank" by anyone

It's good to know you are not one to indulge in discretionary spending. I have to wonder why many here like to rail against women for wanting a diamond. I mean, I sort of felt the same way at one point but when you realize all the things we spend money on (Watches, Computers, Cars > econo class, expensive dinners, etc.), and then realize that a diamond does hold its value pretty well, it doesn't seem to be as bad a purchase as it might seem at first.

I know it's popular to bash DeBeers and although they deserve much of it, you should realize they don't hold the monopoly the once held. Also, diamonds comes from many parts of the world, most which are not involved in conflict.

Regarding a diamonds rarity, you are correct that they are not rare. However, that is a simplified way of looking at things. It's sort of like saying a Ferrari is not rare b/c it's a car. Good quality diamonds are rare just as good quality rubies are rare. I can show you a diamond for $50/ct and one for $50k/ct. The same can be said about rubies.

Meh, I've had this account banned before. Nothing I can't handle. ;)

As for my first wife, it's true. We weren't happy together. She became a born again Christian, I became a foul-mouthed, beer swilling biker. The two didn't mix.

My second wife is my perfect match, and I've never bought her a diamond, though I do have plans to buy her a nice ruby ring one of this days. She doesn't expect it; it's something I've come up with on my own and she doesn't know a thing about it (and doesn't follow my ATOT threads to the best of my knowledge ;)) so it's truly a gift from me to her. Not an expectation as so many women have.

Lowlife, bitter asshole. I think those count as name calling too.

I'm assuming you are bringing up the stickied thread by the mods. Apparently you haven't read it.

A lot of leeway is given on these forums based on the fact that the membership is mostly young and male. However, the practice of calling other members "whores" or "sluts" is not acceptable nor are slurs based on race or sexual orientation.
I'd say calling someone a skank falls in that first section.
