yes, apparently they are.
I am circumcised, and recently I have been forced to fend girls off with a shitty stick coz they want my dick snot so bad.
you should go and get yourself done. It can't hurt *that* much =)
As monopolies go, which one is the worst? Debeers or Microsoft? I get the impression that its Debeers, but I am not an expert in the diamond industry so I cannot compare.
Remember the year 2000? They promised us flying cars. They delivered the PT Cruiser...
It sure beats the hell out of buying the real deal from DeBeers. I'm not really into the whole child labor and enslavement of whole towns that DeBeers doesn't seem to want to stop. I hope their market crashes down around them--it'll serve 'em right for sure.

Fuckin' A, man -- leave it to Michael to post drivel like this.
Seriously, it was more amusing browsing John Katz articles trying to figure out which bandwagon he was trying to pretend he knew enough to jump on this week. If there's a particularly unsubstantiated claim made on Slashdot's homepage, 9 times out of 10 it's something Michael posted.
Somebody get that guy an ambulance!
I should be congratulated for having the opportunity of basking in the light of your morals. You are certainly a better person than me. I confess, I bought my wife a diamond ring mined by a 4 year old girl with no arms and legs who gnawed at the surrounding rock with her worn out teeth in a dark tunnel with a dead canary. I don't feel too bad about my decision.
But you! Your morals prevent you from doing such a thing. You don't want to see that poor girl exploited so that you can enjoy the little trinkets she is providing. I imagine that in other things you are just as high-minded. You no doubt only buy organic produce and free range poultry (though I bet that you couldn't bear to have a poor chicken die so that you could eat).
You are an awesome person, bigbigbison. You are what makes this country the morally superior place that it is.
Thank you for shining your light of love and pure morality upon all of us here at Slashdot. Thank you.
Wow, that's so insightful...I guess you must have read the article, huh?
Bullshit. You do not work at a diamond lab, you just made that up for the occasion like so many hundreds of slashdot trolls.
envirofreaks lol good on you, damn hippies want to ban benzene, toluene and other lovely stuff like that too, real men like you drink the stuff!
....YOU grow the diamonds.
(oh yes, also imagine a beowuf cluster of diamond pentium 4 chips)
