i don't believe any dumb american founded DeBeers, and i believe if anything is "backward" it's this post.

Did I say dumb americans found DeBeers? No, I said dumb american women r the ones who think they "must have" diamonds because they've been so easily brainwashed by advertisements.

DeBeers can't decide anything for you, they can just encourage a certain way of thinking.
It takes the dumb Americans to follow this thinking and enact the cunning masterplan.

I would normally look the other way, but in this circumstance they're both right. The OP is all of the above.

He asked who started it; who came up with the idea, not who follows it.

Actually, no. I tend to find most of mosh's posts reeking of arrogance. Doesn't change the fact that the OP is a poster child for the dangers of lead poisoning.

Edit: WTF would I need to suck up to an anonymous internet woman to get laid? My wife is more than enough for me.

I'll get there faster if you help me spend my money on you while you vaguely flirt with me and hint at possibilities on an online forum.
 
There was an Outland comic about this, where it was asserted that the diamond industry itself is responsible.

I appreciate diamond because 1) It's sparkly, 2) It's compressed transparent carbon in a crystalline structure, and 3) it's extremely hard and thus useful in industry.

Artificial substances exist which posess those qualities, so they are just as good to me.
A friend of mine got an engagement ring, non-diamond, which she loved. It had to do with her birthstone and some other color or type of stone, so she said it meant more to her than a plain diamond would have.




*cough*
1/4 of a year's salary!????!??? I only just caught that part!!! Let's hope that's a joke and not tradition. If I had any single tiny thing that valuable, I wouldn't wear it anywhere, for fear of damaging or losing it.


I seem to remember having read that before....it just seems familiar.

I too am amazed, or maybe that's not quite the right word. I am perhaps amazed, but definitely not surprised.
