Why does DeBeers get to mine in the artic?

Filed Under Diamond Mining 

Boycott Hollywd Commies asked:


I saw the program “Ice Truckers”. These truckers are carrying (acid, asenic, all types of chemicals, petroleum, etc) across a pristine ocean. The Ice has cracked and these trucks have gone into the ocean – imagine the pollution to what little sea life is there.

What gives DeBeers the right to endanger the environment?

More reasons to NOT buy diamonds.

In Sierra Leone people are abused and killed and tribal wars rage because of diamonds.

    because they have alot of pull, when people wear their diamonds, they wear the blood of Africans, and wear and tear on the environment.

    in America black people are told to wear bling diamonds, yet they do not realize their brothers die for that bling. When i see Africans wearing diamonds, i figure they hate their race and African brothers.

    they have no right to endanger the environment, God has told us, tread lightly on earth, those that do not will be judged harshly.

    De Beers is the worlds leader in diamonds. They control that market from South Africa. They are in the Arctic looking for more diamonds and other mineral that will add to their bottom line. Are you suggesting that they should be denied the right to free enterprise? What’s a little pollution when we can have more gas and oil to run our SUV, and cars. After all the truckers are taking the risk, why not give them their due? Doing that job evidently it takes a lot of guts.

    Diamonds last forever and we don’t. Like diamonds, we are carbon bassed. Diamonds are hard pressed and have been for a long time. We are only stressed at times and thank God for ROCK and ROLL!
    As for pollution – it most certainly is a big concern, and you can add South America to your list of abused along with Africa too.

    Diamonds are bad news.
