Diamonds are for Suckers
Aside from me, there's not a more anti-diamond (as in engagement ring) man in this world. There's not a bigger ripoff in the world... other than maybe oxygen bars, but that's a whole 'nother rant. Read why diamonds are for suckers.

Damn... what graveyard did you dig this article up from? February, 1982?

Well, an article from 1982 that mentions the impending possibility that the diamond market may crash sort of loses is validity after 21 years...
I'm not saying it doesn't make a good point. We (men) all agree that De Beers is the debbil. I'm just saying that the market ain't going to fall out. They're too smart for that.

This history of DeBeers and the entire “diamonds are a precious stone” scam are well laid out. Those are the points I really wanted to enlighten our readership with.
