Diamonds are forever. So are lost limbs.

Well if I could even afford diamonds I wouldn't buy them. I guess it's just the fact that it's a useless rock that turns me off, and any person who desires them obviously gives value to the wrong things.

Such sparkling beauty chills the heart when you think of the price paid in pain and suffering.

It shows how far people are willing to go for shiny little superficial stones. This has to end.

"What price for these diamonds." Stop this insanity. We do not, never have and NEVER will need to hurt others in order to possess meaningless self-indulgent shiny trinkets.

What price for these diamonds? This is related to many things in the human culture.

Diamonds are cheap pieces of [expletive]. The reason that you like them is because you've been duped by a slick marketing scheme. Welcome to consumerism. I'm sure a life is equal to a glittering worthless rock on your hand, right?

diamonds, gold, fur... and other [expletive] signs of shallow self-centred materialism... it would be nice if we cared about each other and our planet more. "what price for these diamonds?"

Diamond Boycott. I'm saddened to think that it will take a lot more than a petition...but everything matters, it raises awareness.

Totally fantastic. The public perception of diamonds has got to change- they are not a luxury, they are a symbol of human rights abuse, so stop buying them already.

How on earth could anyone still buy diamonds? Self-imposed ignorance in the face of consumerism may be the biggest threat to humanity.

Public pressure should be put on De Beers since they essentially hold the monopoly on diamonds.

Blood diamonds, often called conflict diamonds, are mined in war torn African countries by rebels to fund their conflict. The rebels grossly abuse human rights, often murdering and enslaving the local populations to mine the diamonds.

This is something I think many people just aren't aware of and I believe the news needs to be spread more widely about the diamond business.

Thing is, this is NOT new. It's just, for whatever reason NEWS. No blood diamonds ever.

It's a disgusting reality... This is why I hate diamonds. People have no idea where that pretty little necklace or ring comes from.

Who needs diamonds when others suffer. Not worth it, there are other ways to show your love to your spouse.

All this for your sparkly little object of a multi-billion dollar advertising campaign.
