Are you concerned about blood diamonds? I know that this is definitely a huge concern of mine whenever I look into buying jewelry from a diamond retailer or wholesaler, especially if they make claims such as discount or 30% off or "Valentine's Day Sale" because I get suspicious. For example, how can they have all those diamonds for so cheap? Could it be that they are using blood diamonds that involved children from the wars in West AFrica to make them? Does that last setence even make sense? Are blood diamonds something from the movies or are they real? Well, let me tell you, blood diamonds are in fact very real. They are not just a Leonardo diCaprio imaginary thing like global warming (haha just kidding).

However, the facts about blood diamonds, like many of the liberal agendas in Leonardo's head, may be a little bit exaggerated. For example, I have a girlfriend, and when talking to her I discovered she believes 90-95% of all the diamonds in the world are blood diamonds. This is what people like Leonardo want you to believe; they want to take out an entire industry just to stop the 10-15% that are doing bad things. Well, the actual facts about blood diamonds state that only about 15% of the world's diamonds, at the highest point in time, which was decades ago, were ever coming from "conflict diamond" areas, and now, the numbers are even less. I feel very strongly about this issue, where applicable. It is so atrocious to think of these children being handed AK47s and other assault rifles, instead of being handed air jordan sneakers or nike basketball kicks and being asked to jump out on a basketball court and slam dunk. Instead, they are being asked to jump out there and shoot to kill people. I think they would have much more fun wearing nice clothes, fresh accessories such as neckties, or watches, and buying things from the best online stores such as the freshest gear's .com website which you can find if you google search "the freshest gear." I even grew up in West Africa, so this issue hits home. I remember how impoverished life was out there, and to think, that things could be even worse, that the children have their families killed so young, or they are stripped from their families and they are forced to fight battles. Well, that is just so depressing. To think, your entire family is burned alive before you and then they take you as a prisoner at age 5 and raise you as a soldier to fight for a cause and an army hyou know nothing about? I am so glad I live in America, the USA. Make sure you are buying your diamonds from companies that are certified to not sell any conflict diamonds by organizations like Stop Blood Diamonds.org.
