diamonds are NOT forever

ok, so im just gonna tell it like it is......

in African countries like Sierra Leone people KILL for dimonds. military people take over and kill whole villages to control the diamonds. look at the little boy in the picture he has NO HANDS! ya wanna know y?? because his village was taken over and this is what people frequently do to the inhabitants of the villages, THEY CHOP OFF THEIR ARMS/HANDS! and they teach CHILDREN to use guns and kill people! and all of this is because of diamonds! BUT there is something u can do, u can ask the jeweler if the diamond u are about to purchase is a blood/conflict diamond (this means someone probably DIED for that useless piece of jewlery!) and if they say "yes, it is a conflict diamond", i recommend NOT buying it!
