So my fiance and I were watching the Diamonds Are Forever music video (by Kanye) and he asked me, that if I was given a diamond necklace, and I knew where it had came from, how children had slaved over mining it, would I still wear the necklace?
I actually thought over it, but I couldn't answer.  So, same question. Would you buy a diamond necklace (or watch, whatever) if you knew that children had been through so much pain mining it? |

the nice person in me wants to say that I'd sell the necklace and send the money to a poor country, but the real person in me says that (god if I even had a place to wear a diamond necklace) I'd probably wear it, especially if it was a gift. People I know can't afford diamond earrings, let alone necklaces, so if someone had given me the necklace I'd know they had gone through a lot to get it and I just couldn't not wear it.
