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? |

I would. Someone special spent a lot of money on that for me; it would be rude to them if I didn't. There's plenty of things that people/animals go through pain for. However, it's part of our lives.
And I'm sure Kanye West has NEVER worn diamonds.

Actually thats a good point. but i think after he made the song, someone told him about the situation in Africa, so thats why he changed the title for the video to "Diamonds Are Forever (from Sierra Leone)" instead of just "Diamonds are Forever". At least thats what Kanye said on Access Granted. So you never know he probably does not wear diamonds anymore. But to answer the question I would not buy it for myself, but if someone got them for me then sure Id rock it. |
