"and sweatshops make half the clothes i wear. my not buying a diamond wont change the world."
The violence, suffering, and depravity involved in getting a sparkly rock into some metal to put on a finger are generally (not always, I would imagine, but usually) several orders of magnitude higher than what's involved in producing an article of clothing in a sweatshop.
One is awful, the other is mind-numbingly horrible.
So ... reamed? No. I am a bit disappointed when someone can't see through the consumerist fog and gets roped or ropes someone else into supporting evil, however.
Why is it that you can see the idiocy in some soccer mom tooling around in a Hummer (comment of yours in another thread) but not the idiocy in festooning onesself with a blood-soaked rock?
