Again, I won't be guilted into it. If the diamond's origin is from South Africa, there is a good chance that's the case. But there are other mines outside of Africa, I don't take a blanket general statement that all diamonds are blood diamonds and are all bad. I still buy diamonds. I cannot guarantee where they originate from 100% but again, if I'm told that it's a South African diamond, maybe I won't buy it. Maybe.

Bad things happen as they do and have for millenium.

If we were to follow this mentality that X is bad and contributes to Global warming, well then NONE of us should be on computers at all, since the chemical waste and by products from creating microprocessors is very bad for the environment, but here we are discussing such a phenomenon.

I eat veal. I have no qualms for the animal being raised in a small box. Skogafoss on the other hand does. I'm happy to eat a nice veal chop or scallopini.

You may think that I'm a bad person for doing so, and I'm okay with that.

At some point you draw your own line and don't want to cross it. I know where mine is and won't allow it to be swayed by shame, guilt, or clever marketing.
