WTF? This thread has got to be the most banal waste of energy in the history of/.
I realise that contributing to it makes it worse, but really, if lives are so barren and devoid of meaning that this "issue" rates as anybody's "pet peeves" that's just fucking tragic.
I don't think you ever been to South Africa - or know much about the violence there. It has nothing at all to do with diamonds (the idea is ridiculous) and more to do with a lack of respect for human life. You don't just get mugged in SA - you get shot to death. You don't just get your house burgled there - you get shot to death. Etc. Etc. Life means nothing to huge sections of the population. Is this down to a form of carbon? I don't think so.
